Mt. Rose Campground

Mt. Rose Campground sits at 9,300 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada with 21 campsites offering paved roads, vault toilets, potable water, and food storage lockers—ideal for hikers accessing popular trails like Mt. Rose Summit and Tahoe Rim Trail.

Located just 9 miles west of Lake Tahoe, the campground provides convenient access for fishing and water activities, though it operates seasonally (June-September) and requires advance reservations during peak season.

Note that black bears frequent the area and food storage is mandatory; the campground lacks shower facilities and dump stations.
