Camping at Boca Campground near Truckee

Public campground · Truckee · 23 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at and around Boca centers on the reservoir and the Little Truckee River: boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing are popular at Boca Reservoir, while the nearby Little Truckee is known for catch-and-release fly-fishing. Trails in the area support hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle use, and the Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail located between Boca Dam and the railroad tracks traces the area's railroad and milling history.

“Nice site. Didn't like the traffic driving past our site. Disappointed in the freeway noise is such a beautiful area. Lovely site. Right next to the water. I do recommend. ”

Lisa C 3 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Great location for a quick trip from Reno. My dog had a blast swimming and chasing ball. I wasn’t a big fan of our camp neighbors building a campfire when there were clear signs everywhere to not have fires. Not sure who was supposed to monitor those dangerous fires. ”

How far ahead to book Boca Campground

For August weekends, book about 160 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 79 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (8,173 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
