Lisa C ★ 3 · Jul 2025Nice 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.
Mario B ★ 2 · Jul 2025Honestly, not a great experience. The campground was extremely dusty — I don’t understand why they can’t add some grass or at least water it down. There was no water spigot at all, which is a big inconvenience for campers. Accessing the lake was also frustrating. You have to carry your paddleboard or gear down a steep hill, which isn’t ideal. Setting up our tent was a whole challenge. The ground was really hard and filled with tree roots and branches. We bent a couple of tent poles trying to get the stakes in — and we weren’t the only ones. A lot of people seemed to struggle with the same thing. Add strong winds on top of that, and it just wasn’t fun. Overall, it felt like the campground was missing some basics. Wouldn’t return unless they made some improvements.
Julie S ★ 3 · Jun 2025Great 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.

Boca Campground sits on a plateau above the western shore of Boca Reservoir, about a 15-minute drive northeast of Truckee, and occupies a peninsula that looks out over open water and rolling lakeshore.

Many sites are set among stands of mature Jeffrey pine and fir that supply patchy shade across an otherwise open campground; each campsite comes with a picnic table and a campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets are available, but th…
