Nevada City, Calif. May 6, 2021 —The U.S. Forest Service is testing water systems and actively assessing and removing hazardous trees from Tahoe National Forest campgrounds in preparation for the summer season. In addition, downed winter trees –heavy in some areas due to wind events –are actively being removed from campgrounds, recreation sites, roads, and trails by recreation managers and firefighters. For a complete campground and recreation site update, please see below.
This year, the Tahoe National Forest is again asking visitors to please recreate responsibly so we all can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Tahoe National Forest for years to come.
Responsible recreation means:
- Make sure your campfire is out before you leave: douse with water, stir, and feel for warmth.
- Repeat the steps above as necessary.
- Campfires must be attended at all times; California Campfire Permits are required.
- No trashcan? It’s your responsibility to pack out all trash when you leave, including toilet paper when no restroom facilities exist.
- Most campsites are booked in advance –you may not secure a campground without a reservation.
- To reserve a Tahoe National Forest campsite, please visit recreation.gov.
- During the spring, roads may be passable in the morning but muddy and impassable as temperatures warm during the day.
- Don’t get stuck or damage roads.
- Rivers and lakes are cold this time of year and flows are high. Cold, high flows can kill.
Responsible recreation will help ensure that access to recreational facilities and opportunities will continue across the Tahoe National Forest.
Tahoe National Forest offices are also closed to in-person visits to protect the health and safety of employees and members of the public. Many services traditionally offered in our public offices are available online.
We will continue to update our website with current information as conditions change.
