Sierra Nevada Unit - Destinations
This is a campground just 50 miles North of Reno with only six rather small sites. It is about seven miles up the Doyle grade. The grade turns to gravel with a severe washboard on a steep grade that will shake things up and test your pulling power. A lot of folks run horse trailers up the grade for rides in the surrounding sierra meadows. Past the park the road turns to dirt and heads towards Frenchman's lake to the south and parallel to US 395 going north.
There are only six sites in the park, a pit toilet, no water. The sites are rather small. Fees: none Weather: mild - near 6000 feet altitude Location: North of Reno in US 395 to Doyle grade. Up the grade 7 miles |
