Anything along the Truckee is not going to be that isolated Hwy 89 is a main road into Lake Tahoe and is well traveled. Go to this web site for camping info

Subject: SPAM-LOW:  Campgrounds along Truckee River in Calif.? 

Mrs Squirrel has to attend a conference in Reno, NV in July, at the end

of which she wants to join me and Mellow Yellow and do a little camping

near Lake Tahoe. She's thinking that if we can find a nice spot close to

Tahoe, maybe along the Truckee river, she could talk her sons and

grandkids into visiting. They'd want to stay in a Tahoe hotel and do the

stuff they like to do, like gamble, and everyone can get together to go

rafting and other outdoorsy stuff.

The Truckee river area has been a popular camping destination for

generations, and I imagine that campgrounds along the Truckee fill up

soon and many, if not most, could not be be considered secluded by any

stretch of the imagination.

Recommendations? CGs that don't look like trailer parks, aren't as

crowded as Hoovervilles
