Description

Overview

Boca Spring Campground is located approximately one-mile east of Boca Reservoir, 20 minutes from Truckee, California. Visitors enjoy the area for its boating, swimming, fishing and abundant trail opportunities.  This facility is operated and maintained by the Tahoe National Forest.

Recreation

Boca Reservoir is just a mile west of the campground. Boating, water skiing, swimming and fishing are popular activities. A boat ramp is located near Boca Campground on the southwest end of the reservoir.  The Little Truckee River is nearby and offers some of Northern California's best catch-and-release fly-fishing. The surrounding area offers hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle trails. Boca Townsite Interpretive Trail showcases the boom and bust of the historic town of Boca as it transitioned from a construction camp for the Central Pacific Railroad to the Boca Mill and Ice Company and later to the Boca Brewery.

The campground offers single-family sites and one group site that can accommodate up to 25 people and eight vehicles. Picnic tables, campfire rings and grills are provided, as are vault toilets and drinking water.

The campground is located within a heavily forested stand of towering pine and fir trees. Boca Spring feeds a pretty meadow adjacent to the campground.
