SNU Rally at Hope Valley

Location: Off Hwy 88 in Hope Valley, CA at the Blue Lakes Road intersection. From Reno, take 395 south to SR88. Follow SR88 through Woodfords into Hope Valley. Continue past the Meyers turnoff. Go about 3 or 4 miles to the Blue Lakes road. Make a left on Blue Lakes road. The first set of camping areas is only 1/10 of a mile on your right behind the outhouse there are spaces under the trees. To the left is an open meadow.

Facilities and fees : For both areas the roads and parking is packed dirt and fairly level. Site one is right off of Hwy 89 Site two was about a mile further down the road to Blue Lakes. Site two was right on the Carson river. Both are dispersed USFS sites with no facilities and no fees.

Finding the Rally Site: The SNU now provides the means for you to put its rally sites on your electronic map. If you don't have a GPS or a PND or a computer with a mapping program, you can still take the file and use it to find coordinates on your paper maps.

What to expect at an SNU rally : Never been to an SNU rally? This page will give you information on arrival and departure times, meals, activities, and other information that will help make the rally an enjoyable experience.

Boondocking SNU Style: SNU rallies are a great way to experience camping “off grid” Our usual rally sites have no electricity or other hookups. Water is frequently not available. For the SNU, this type of camping enhances the experience and we are never without all the comforts of home

Notes: We chose the first site because of easy access from the road and concerns over the weather. When we took a tour we discovered site two which was in the trees and right on the river. We then made the decision to move the rally to this second location
