***Attention:**** Due to the threat of golden mussels, these boat launches will be closed to motorized watercraft for the 2025 season: 1) Jackson Meadows Reservoir boat launches (Pass Creek and Woodcamp) and 2) Bowman Lake. You may still launch non-motorized watercraft from these boat launches. For more information, about the golden mussel and how to do your part to reduce the threat of introduction, please read below and visit: *[*https://www.nidwater.com/jackson-meadows*][1]*.* * The non-native, highly invasive golden mussel was discovered in Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in October 2024. Once established, they can affect flood control by reducing water flow and contribute to harmful algal blooms. Please contact the waterbody you plan to visit for latest information about launching requirements. Since golden mussels and their larval offspring are very small, they may easily go unseen on your watercraft. To keep our favorite lakes and rivers free from this risk, please Clean, Drain, Dry equipment and watercraft before and after entering a waterbody: *[*https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28993*][2] [1]: https://www.nidwater.com/jackson-meadows [2]: https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28993
About
Woodcamp Campground is situated on the scenic western shore of Jackson Meadow Reservoir within Tahoe National Forest, at an elevation of 6,100 feet. The campground lies in a rolling forested valley surrounded by pine and fir trees, with beautiful views of the Sierra Crest and English Mountain. The facility offers 20 single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. The Woodcamp Recreation Area serves as an excellent base camp for diverse outdoor activities. Jackson Meadow Reservoir provides opportunities for boating, canoeing, water skiing, swimming, and fishing for rainbow and brown trout. A boat launch and designated swim beach are located within the recreation area, though motorized watercraft are prohibited due to golden mussel prevention measures. A half-mile interpretive nature trail winds through the campground, while a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail meanders along the reservoir's east side. Hunting and biking are popular in the surrounding area. The campground provides both flush and vault toilets and drinking water from faucets. Bears frequent the area, requiring all food to be stored in approved containers. The facility does not offer utility hookups, showers, cell phone service, or telephones. Campground is operated by Nevada Irrigation District in cooperation with Tahoe National Forest. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance through Recreation.gov.
