Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights5 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.
Big Bend Group Campground sits at about 5,700 feet on the gentle banks of the South Yuba River, roughly 19 miles west of Truckee in Tahoe National Forest. The site is shaded by stands of pine and fir and lies just behind and across the river from the Big Bend Fire Station, which provides a convenient landmark and sense of stewardship; the campground itself is operated and maintained by Forest Service staff.

“Everything was good. Enough area for 25 people and cozy spot and clean. Just need earplugs for night time to sleep because of high way sound. Beautiful location.”
