Description

Residents of Truckee, California have it good--within 30 minutes in any direction there are loads of amazing campgrounds, and Prosser Family Campground is the perfect example this. Just ten minutes north of Truckee, a site here lands you within walking distance of Prosser reservoir. Your afternoon plans are pretty much already made. Because seriously, what plans do you need beyond strolling down to the lake with a good book, fishing pole and a few cold drinks? But if you’re looking for something a little more upbeat, you can check out the very popular Commemorative Overland Emigrant trail for superb mountain biking and hiking. Either way, good times are bound to be had.
