Hope Valley Campground is along the West Fork of the Carson River on the eastern side of Carson Pass. The scenic beauty of Hope Valley attracts visitors year-round. Fly fishing, photography, hiking, cycling, and OHV are all popular here. A short drive away are Blue Lakes with opportunities for boating and fishing.
Hope Valley Campground has 22 single campsites and 6 double sites set among Jeffrey and lodgepole pines and close to the Carson River. Two of those sites are designated as tent-only, while the rest can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents. Most sites are available for reservations, but a few are first come, first served. Some campsites have nice views of the Hope Valley, while others are tucked farther back among the trees.
