We love Prosser Family Campground. We went up and drove through a few years ago and made a list of…read morethe sites we really like. There are some with NO shade, (mostly the ones that are near the lake) so be aware of that. However, the majority of the sites are very shady and feel as private as a campground is capable of being. Lots of space for our pop-up trailer and vehicle. But, the very best part is that you can ride your OHV direct from your campsite to miles and miles of trails. No trailering and driving to the trailhead. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful and the area is breathtaking. This is a yearly campout for us. Last year we invited friends and taught their teenage sons how to ride a motorcycle and ATV. A great time was had by all. Oh - they don't have water available there, so bring what you need. The bathrooms are pit toilets, kept very clean.

Really nice campground with tons of shade. The camp host was extremely nice. The only thing I would…read moreknock it down a little for was there are no defining boundaries for the actual sites so it felt like one of our neighbors had 2 sites worth of space encroaching in on ours and someone else's spot.

The Truckee River is a sleepy and underrated river that is safe for innertubing if you know the few spots to avoid. It's a straight-shot, seven mile ride to Lake Tahoe, and at 1.5 miles down the road, 7-Eleven is walking distance, if you wake up early and go get coffee. [That 7-Eleven also has $8 bundles of firewood, which comes in handy when your host is empty-handed) 3) Spacious space with a low fire pit so you can see the fire better, a picnic table, and a bear locker, the bear locker locks with a noise, so it's hard to steal cookies without getting caught. 4) Relatively small, with only 21 spots, which potentially limits some neighbor noise and keeps multiple parties closer together. 4 CONS: 1) The number one complaint for all reviewers is the car noise from the steady flow of vehicles roaring up and down the 89. Tent only spots 22-28 get a little buffer because they're the furthest from the road, closest to the river, and down a small hill. 2) This is likely more rare, but there's a big house across the river, visible from sites 23-28. They hosted a party the night and went from loud to louder throughout the night. They aren't subject to Quiet Hours, and it especially intolerable when they intentionally yelled and hit our tents with flashlights. I kept thinking it was an alien invasion coming to take us away. After a while, I was hoping it was. 3) The first time we went to our hosts at #2 (D & K), they weren't there. The second time, they were out of wood. Had we not bought wood elsewhere we'd be in the dark, literally. So, don't rely on the host for wood. 4) This is minor, but the dirt roads make the Indiana Jones ride look like a block of greased marble. NOTE ON RIVER ACCESS: I expected to be level with the river, or at least able to walk to a clearing for a beachy area, to either climb rocks or wade into the water, but I didn't see clear river access aside a few paths through six feet high shrubs. [Psst, US Forest Service: Clearing a thirty-foot beach area would make for a nice, safe communal space] NOTE ON BUGS: We didn't experience yellow jackets (super late June). I used bug spray to avoid mosquitos. Not a bunch of gnats, like other sites. There are anthills, but only one adventurous ant made it into our tent. Finally, Of the 28 sites, 12 are tent-only. Of the tent-only sites, the #22-28 spots are the best, though you have to use the parking lot and can't keep your car at the site. Having a spot a hundred steps down a hill means it is a little more quiet and private, but packing and unpacking is a little tougher and time-consuming, Plus, you can't keep an eye on your ride to make sure bears aren't tearing it apart to find an four-year-old French fry. #28 is the clear winner having only one neighbor. I would avoid 25-26 because they might share a path to the parking lot. The guy is 25 kept walking through our camp (behind our bear locker), so either the separate path is nonexistent, hard to find, or he's a jabroni. My wife loved 26 for the perfectly spaced hammock trees. I assume #19-21 would be next best, being in the pocket furthest south. #9-11 are trash. I couldn't imagine staying in Spot #10. Like #9 and #11, it's practically in the parking lot, so you'd see more taillights than starlight, but 10 is on the bathroom trail. It should be renamed #2.

The good and the bad are below may vary by choice of lot so keep that in mind. The bad...no check in station, seems they rule by honor system. When we first arrived there was zero toilet paper in any of the restroom locations in either men's or women's. The freeway noise... no escaping it, doesnt matter your lot. We we further away from the freeway and still struggled to have a conversation at times. The space for tents greatly varies by lot. Our tent fits a little more than 2 queen sized mattresses and it didn't really fit in the only designated spot, so we ended up putting it on the driveway to save space. Our lot was listed as having some shade, but had none... glad we brought our pop up. Also, we wouldnt have been able to use the tent and the pop up if we didn't us the driveway for the tent.

Access to wifi, never had an issue connecting. The vicinity to the yuba river is the only reason im even giving it 3/5.

Each site comes with a large bear box, a fire ring with a cooking grate, and a big picnic table. The bathrooms are vault toilets that were clean and well-stocked with toilet paper. There is a busy road nearby that drowns out the sound of the river unless you're right next to the water, but once night falls things calm down nicely. We stayed in a tent trailer while attending a show at the Salty Gebhardt Amphitheater, so we didn't spend a ton of time hanging out at the site, but it still made for a solid basecamp. Would happily stay again.

The bathrooms include vault toilets that are well stocked with toilet paper. Each site has a large bear box, a fire ring with a grate for cooking, and a large picnic table. I have to say that I don't think I would go back to tent camp at this spot. The busy road nearby drowned out the sound of the river unless right near the water. Some campers were up and partying until almost 0300 when my husband and I were trying to tent camp. Lights from the road shined across our tent the whole night. This spot would be great if you have a camper or RV.

However, it was already quite crowded for mid-April, so I can only imagine how busy it gets later in the season. We didn't see a camp host during our stay, which wasn't a huge issue, but it might be something to keep in mind if you're someone who likes having that point of contact. Overall, a solid spot--just be prepared for a crowd if you're coming during the peak season.

This was our first time staying at Goose Meadow and we had a great experience! I booked a campsite…read moreback in February for Memorial Day Weekend. There was only one site left, it was one close to the road but I was just stoked to get a spot! We were bummed to get an email 2-3 weeks before the reservation that Goose Meadow wasn't able to open on time this year because of all the snow from our heavy winter. Luckily, I got another email the week of the reservation and they said the campground is able to open on time! That is largely because the camp host and some other forest service workers went out and shoveled shady spots of the campground that still had over 4ft of snow. We met the camp host during our stay and he was really nice! Our site was right across from him and we had no issues with that. We've stayed at Silver Creek and Granite Flat in the past which are the other two campgrounds on 89 between I-80 and Palisades. Goose Meadow is definitely the best out of these three! The sites are more spread out and everything feels more private because the area is more heavily wooded. Plus, there are far fewer sites here than at the other campgrounds which makes it feel more lowkey and quiet. Our site was by the road, so you can hear some cars passing by. We didn't mind as we already expected that since we've camped in this area before. The prime spots are the ones closest to the river, but those fill up fast. You can easily make reservations online. Firewood is for sale from the camp host and there are waterspouts within the campground. Walking distance to the river. Bathroom facilities were nice and very clean. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, and room for 1-3 cars (varies by site location). Only a 10 min drive to Palisades for spring skiing which you can't beat. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

In all my experience at various campgrounds, I have never been welcomed like that. They were genuinely nice people and spent some time getting to know me. So refreshing! I then pulled into my space and I can tell already it's fantastic. The neighbors around me are quiet, nice, and everyone seems respectful. I immediately went out walking and found accessible trails with a small creek that immediately catches your attention. It's twilight now and despite the Park fire (only 100 miles away), it's very quiet despite being almost full. Also, relatively little road noise, considering where it is. This is definitely a magical little place, and I'm very glad I found it. I'll be back for sure.
