Lower Little Truckee Campground — Hotel in Truckee

After a beautiful 5 hour drive from San Francisco we arrived at the campground at around sunset. Sadly we were met with a closed gate instead of a cosy spot. Obviously we were pretty surprised to see a sign at the gate stating the campground was closed for the season as we did not receive notification that our reservation was cancelled.

I would suggest not to reserve a spot here (unless maybe in the summer time) because apparently whoever runs this campground prefers to screw people over instead of spending 5 minutes notifying recreation.gov when the campground is unexpectedly closed...

This is our new go-to spot for camping. Been here three times. There are two campgrounds, the lower little Truckee and the upper little Truckee. The host campsite is at the upper little Truckee. Clean Vault toilets, close to the river. However, there is road noise. Very seldom is this Campground full. It is a nice Base Camp for activities in the area, including Truckee, Squaw Valley, and Tahoe City. We have a 17 foot self-contained trailer, so dry camping here is perfect. Exactly 10 miles north of Interstate 80 on...

First off it says it's for trailers 35 and below...I would not take a 35 footer in there we have a 30 and that almost to big ....the camp host singled us out to come and say our truck was in the road(we weren't even set up yet.....) and that generators have to be off by 10....but other people came in to camp and she didn't even talk to them....over all if you're camping in a tent it's fine but for trailers would not!!!! It was a tight fit but we managed to get it...
