Truckee River RV Park
Located just steps away from the beautiful Truckee River along Interstate 80 in Truckee, CA. Only 18 miles to Lake Tahoe and 20 to 25 minute drive to Squaw Valley Ski Resort, Northstar California Ski Resort, and all other Major Ski Resorts in and around Lake Tahoe. With historic downtown Truckee only 6 miles away, the shopping and dining options are plentiful.

We are a full hook-up (water, sewer, electric, wi-fi), back-in only, RV Park with an on site general store, deli, gas station, propane sales, shower and laundry facilities.
Services
The Truckee River offers a variety of rafting activities. From a lazy day of river tubing to an exciting day of whitewater rafting, our close proximity makes for convenient river access. Truckee River RV Park provides canoe and paddleboard rentals to our guests and locals! Beautiful Boca Reservoir is less than a mile away, and many other surrounding lakes including Lake Tahoe 25 min.

This place is solid. I enjoyed our stay here. It is a great location. Less than 10 minutes from downtown Truckee and less than 30 from Reno. Plus the river and Boca reservoir are minutes away. The store/deli is awesome has all kinds of fun stuff including things you might of forgot.. We got breakfast there and sat on the patio. It was super nice. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito. They have a swing set and tether ball that myself and my daughter highly enjoyed. There is a few long term campers here but that didn't bother me much. Camp sites are a little tight but very clean. Yes

Everyone was so kind and inviting. My back went out so I was very grateful when they said we could check in early. My fiancé and I had sandwiches from the deli and they were delicious. We will definitely be back. It's amazing how so many people have forgotten what true customer service is supposed to look like, but not here, their customer service was exemplary. 😁👍

Appreciation they say is an application for more. if i fail to acknowledge you it'll shows how ungrateful i am. I can't be less grateful to a man who God has used in blessing me and my family in general. I was introduced to Mr Williams Johnson few weeks back Right now I know how much I can boast off about my financial state. he helped me with the… little capital I invested with and I made so much profit for myself and my family. Thank you so much Mr Williams Johnson, and if you are also finding it difficult trading for yourself contact him now through this. Email: WILLIAMSJOHNSONFOREXTRADER

I just stop by the deli on my way to flyfish the Truckee. The deli is one of the coolest little finds in all my 30+ years of Sierra adventures. If I ever got an RV, that's where I'd go to camp.

This place is wonderful. Yes you have the freeway and train tracks next door, but the gas is always cheap and the market is awesome. Great food (Grant made me a delicious sandwich today) and large selection making it so you don't need to go to town. I highly recommend Tammy's banana bread with chocolate chips, so good. Luke does a great job maintaining the place and he's a pleasure to interact with. Located on the river with immediate access to Boca and Stampede. I visit frequently and have nothing but gratitude for these folks and the great establishment they provide. Thanks guys

We made reservations way in advance and had to cancel them also way in advance, but they charged us $27.50 for a cancellation fee. That's ridiculous.

We stayed 3 nights. we had a fourth night paid. could not stand it. the freeway noise too much. a few trains on top of it. the park is on top of a hill. park setting. a few full timers. bathrooms need a lot of work. shower curtains full of mold. base of shower black. needs Clorox. no where to place your items while shower is spraying. wrong shower… head. during this virus time. it is a miracle we did not get it. we will not return. it might be okay for one night. use your own shower. which we did after our bad experience. no TV reception. poor internet. love the truckee area.

This place is so solid. The family that runs this place has proved over and over they are community people. While people are rushing to get gas for cars, snowblowers etc. Truckee River RV has lowered prices. Thanks guys it is noticed and appreciated.

Enjoyed our stay here in our 40' Class A. Used it for our base camp location for exploring Lake Tahoe, Reno and alpine Sierra areas near Truckee. Lots of grass and trees to enjoy and very clean property. Store and Deli onsite, as well as 24 hour gas station. Truckee River view is a short walk away. Only a few 50 amp sites and no TV connections. Negative is noise from I80 freeway and train that runs near the river a couple times a day, but we masked that noise at night by running our RV fan or turning on the white noise.

Could be 5 stars if the bathrooms had a remodel. We used this as a quick summer overnighter spot on a longer road trip. Our site was positioned on a hill with a lovely breeze and really nice plush grass that the dogs and our feet enjoyed. A very quiet park with a nice feel. Yes, some of the rigs seem to be lived in but it's not a big negative as some of the other reviews have stated. You can barely tell there are residents and we felt very comfortable and safe. 20 minutes to the lake and for $57 total our family got exactly what we'd hoped for.

Spent a couple of days at this park....what a pile of crap! Trash everywhere, not only the owners/operators & staff, but also the company they keep! Partying goes on all night, with no concern for the noise level or their guests. Was told, "you're just here for a few nights.....so none of this really matters....."
Be weary of your belongings! Things are stolen from under or around your camper and from your shower stall -- while taking a shower! Can't make that one up!
A total scam about being on the Truckee River! Good luck getting to the river! You have to hike across

Staff sets the standard for this hillside park, and the bar is high.
We were so fortunate to interact with Jo and Kelly when we needed a problem solved.
The check in area can be crowded, so one waits your turn and drives up the hill. Nice grass and trees between spaces, all back in spots.
The 50 amp space we had was big enough for 40 foot motorhome and tow car.
You could tell that some people were full timers, but the "junk and trash" that another review mentioned was not in evidence.
Nice covered pavilion with comfy seating near laundry, and cant forget wonderful deli with homemade banana

Pros:
-spacious grassy area for kids to play on each parking site, trailers are not on top of one another!
Easy check in.
- grass in trailer area is kept maintained and watered! Nice to see and enjoy the green!!
-Water activities near by
- deli
- gas station


Cons:
- limited spots
- I have to mention traffic (but it didn't really bother me)
- no fire pit areas in campsites! We had to use our grill for s'mores! I wouldn't mind paying a n additional fee for a fire & wood... just so we can talk at night and be warm outside enjoying the stars!

Possible con-
Yes, about 50

I talked to someone about making reservations here and things sounded nice. I did some research and decided to drive up here and check the place out.
Boy am I glad we made the trip. Upon arrival you enter a small tight one-way driveway. You check in at the little store. We got to drive through the park to check out what site me might want.
After the first 100 yards in, you can see that a lot of people live here. It's more of a trailer park, not a real RV park. Part of this place is right against noisy highway 80. After driving up the hill and making the turn to the other side, there was more

We are currently staying at the Truckee River RV Park in site 39. The park is very well maintained. Each site has a BBQ as there is no burning of firewood. You can rent a propane fire pit which we did for $25 for the stay and that includes a tank of propane. Each site has water electric snd sewer. i want you to know this is not an asphalt parking lot. There is grass and a picnic table for each site. There are rules that there will be no carport or artificial grass on the lawn. which is understandable.
There are clean restrooms with showers and a laundry room. Play Area Equipment with ping

Driving up to the Check in area has a very appealing appearance, Truckee river across the road, friendly staff, nice exterior grounds and nice little store interior. However upon driving to our RV site we noticed about half of the sites had permanent/temp unit in them. The sites are very nice/spacious, hookups are good with grass and fir shade trees. Checking out the two restroom/shower buildings, only one building was operating and with only one toilet working in the men's room. Restroom/Showers were just okay, needs some TLC. The daytime/evening noise levels being pretty high with Hwy 80

The RV Park is located a stones drive from Truckee. The facilities are clean and the general store where you check in has a lot of items you will be tempted to buy for the RV. I needed a 50 amp to 30 amp converter plug the night before I arrived. I was able to buy this here.

The sites are easy to park your rig and the staff are all very professional and easy going.

This RV park is situated right next to Boca National Forest: that is US forest Land. So if you stay here, you have: lakes, trails and lots of river banks to walk and explore. Truckee is an easy 15 to 20 minute ride away for shopping, exploring and supplies.

The showers are big, and clean. The park is well maintained. The Truckee River is 2 minute walk from the park if you like to get some early fishing in. They sell fish license and Luke can share with some fishing knowledge albeit fisherman are notoriously tight lipped.

The RV park has a gas station and a small store. The small store has a

Our first first here and we're definitely coming back- clean bathroom facilities are important to me and these are the cleanest I've seen! Full hook ups and the area around the sewer is clean, not crummy and 'dumpy' like other campgrounds-
Trees provide ample shade- only about 50(?) spaces so it's not overcrowded; right off the highway; they have a raft guide excursion; a small play area with swings, a covered outdoor patio with bbq grill etc..
WHAT A GREAT PLACE! I
can't say enough great things about this gem of a campground, except see ya' there
