Logger Campground

Logger Campground spreads over acres of lightly forested ground on the south side of Stampede Reservoir in the Tahoe National Forest. The campground is a favorite base for anglers, OHV enthusiasts (no OHV use in campground), boaters, waterskiers, and hikers. A boat launch ramp is nearby. A short drive south leads to Boca and Prosser reservoirs. Fly fishing in the Little Truckee River is excellent.

The Double Bit Loop at the west entrance to Logger Campground is open in winter (when weather permits) for self-contained RVs or trailers. During the winter there are no services (including trash service), nor are there reservations in the winter.

Logger Campground has 252 campsites. Some are double or triple sites. Campsites may be reserved during the regular season. One site is designated as tent-only, while all the rest can accommodate RVs, trailers and tents. A general store is located in the campground.
