This is located 25 minutes from Truckee. Emigrant Gap has some hidden GEMS. The State park at the end of the road hosts the North Fork of the North Fork of the American River and its water Fall. Bowman Lake and Yuba Gap reservoir are one exit away. This small camping area backs up to 100,000 acres of Tahoe National forest. You can walk to a restaurant with regular bathrooms and wifi. Here we have out door compost toilet and cold out door shower. ATM we are nothing special. Lots of cool things to do minutes from here, but we mainly boast a safe place to park on your journey. September 1, 2023. In and effort to make stayovers more comfortable, Site 4 and 5 are being removed and site 6 is being modified to host a full time 34Ft RV available for nightly use.

Site 2 - Left of Picnic table.
Great Price and Close to Road (+/-)
Honest review - We knew this site was new and it is winter in the Sierra's .... What is experienced with a friendly camp coordinator at the U-haul and being the only vistored the night we stayed we could use any site we wanted so we put up our tent inside an A-frame that would normally be using for firewood. We did this because we arrived late and the snow was deep and soft enought it was going to be a lot of work to put up our tent. So for friendliness and easy of dealing with the conditions which were snow and wind - 10/10. Now for the negative. It is very close to HWY 80 from an road noise point of view. So there was constant background road noise and some loud Truck Jake-Braking all night. The price was right. The site was good enough for one night. But ear plugs or other sound damping might have made it better for the two of us.

Great place to park for the night off of I80. It was very conveniently located and was one of the only places to camp in the winter before reaching Lake Tahoe from the West.

Basic campsite. Great location to stop on the way to Tahoe. A little hard to find at night, but it’s right next to the U-Haul. If you hit the restaurants you went to far.

Camping with our pup.
Easy to get to. Exactly as we thought. Great place to stay. No frills. Compost toilet. Shower, if you need one. There was a gym (exercise bike). We went during a huge rain... so, that sucked, but I don't think the host had any control of that, lol. Host was awesome, gave us some tips of where to go. Really great location, close to everything. Donner Lake and Truckee, just 25ish minutes away. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs, right off the highway. Our torrential rainfall really killed that noise. Great restaurant walking distance, Rustic Table. We will def be back. We had a lot of fun despite the rain. Dog, not a huge fan of the wetness, so was extra cranky.
