Ridge Campground

Intended to camp there 10/1/24. Even though weather was still great, sign said closed as of 9/13/24. Rode thru on my m/c-it would be a beautiful place to stay. Shaded by tall dense pines. Close to town, walk to lake, Donner Pass museum near main entrance, and Donner Pass itself a short drive away. found Upper Little Truckee River campground was still open ( but they got notice to close 10/15/24 while I was there. Next trip for sure.

This place is magical. It is the best of all worlds. Nice campsites, multiple swimming areas. Great Fishing with huge fish. Very peaceful area. On top of all this just one exit away is a full city where you can get in any shopping that you need or may have forgot to bring up. But just because the city is so close does not mean you have to deal with noise and traffic by the campgrounds. These campground are surrounded by wilderness and you cant even tell you are that close to the city. Lovely place to just get away wit you and your buddies for a fishing trip or for your whole family. There is plenty to do for all.

Love it, clean, well kept, nice restrooms and showers. Donner Lake nice for open water swimming and most all water sports with rentals for water toys on lake within walking distance. Close to Tahoe and rock climbing as well as hiking and biking.

Nice clean bathrooms, spacious sites and showers! Ridge campground is my preference, less mosquitoes than the lakeside sites

Absolutely beautiful campground. Just bring a canopy for shade as some of the campsites are not fully covered by the trees. Remember to bring the mosquito repellent and full range of clothes for all weathers since temps might go very low in the early morning even if it is summer. Nice bathrooms, payable showers, beautiful lake nearby. We had a great time. We'll definitely come back.
