Not able to reach with low clearance vehicle. Maybe this was possible 2 years ago but as of July, 2023 it is not. You can park and camp near 155 (Evans Rd). It’s an easy 3 mile walk downhill to the camp. The outhouses are out of order. It’s nice and quiet.

It's a 3.3-mile narrow, dirt road to the campground. The road was in good shape for what it is (we drove our Prius w/o a problem) There are no camp sites, just camp wherever you like. No tables, no fire rings, no potable water, only a couple of old, dilapidated outhouses, one of which in such bad shape that it's been nailed shut. Most people shunned the outhouse because there's toilet paper scattered everywhere. I recommend going a little past where the road crosses the Cedar Creek, up the canyon a bit. There are a couple of nice places, in the shade and next to Alder Creek, that people had made into campsites. Alder Creek was still flowing on July 31 and two other groups of people were camping there. Cattle have thoroughly trampled the area so it's very dusty and cow pies everywhere.

This is on Donner Pass. *The* Donner Pass. Not far from Truckee, not far from a memorial to the Donner family. *The* Donner family. Crazy to camp under the same trees that all that suffering happened. Tip, even in the warmest of warm summer days, the nights are fiercely frigid. If you camp in a tent (as you should), sleep in your thickest socks, bring layers and even hand warmers to throw into the bottom of your sleeping bag. Otherwise, it's a quick drive or hike down to Donner Lake, and a quick drive to Tahoe. If you're up in the area, it's worth a reservation.

It has been abandoned by the forest service. There is no camp ground there anymore.
