Janet S ★ 5 · Sep 2025I love these camp sites. Its very small and quiet.
Yu M ★ 5 · Aug 2025Site 3 was great. Right next to the river. The sound of water was loud and relaxing. After setting up at about 2pm, it started hailing and raining like crazy. No flooding or anything. We were lucky the sun was pretty much out the whole time. There was no shade. The only complaint is all the sites here are pretty close to the main road so you can definitely hear people who are speeding or driving loud trucks. When it’s quiet it’s a heavenly place. We also ran into fire restriction which wasn’t listed at the time of reservation. Some people still went ahead and started fire anyways. Site 3’s tent location is immediately adjacent to site 2 parking spot so you can definitely hear quite clearly people going in and out of the car. Overall a beautiful place. We definitely love to be back.
Kristine C ★ 5 · Aug 2025Luv it always here. Clean sites, friendly community who stay here. Very lovely.

Boyington Mill Campground sits on the banks of the Little Truckee River roughly 20 minutes east of Truckee, reached from I-80 via the Hirschdale Road exit.

There are 12 single-family campsites in total nine sites configured for both RVs and tents and three tent-only sites each equipped with a picnic table and a campfire ring with grill. Facilities are basic: vault toilets are provided, but there is no drinking water at the campground, so plan to bring your own. The campground is op…
