Thousand Trails Snowflower

Just got back from two weeks of October glamping in 1000 Trails Snowflower. Collette the camp host once again gave us a warm friendly welcome. She can answer all your questions. All of the staff was readily available if needed to answer questions or help. They were busy getting the camp ready for the coming winter. Our experience was lots of fun trail riding, quiet hiking with the dog and not so great fishing. Walking the shower and sitting by the lake was an episode of different experience from the summer when it is much busier in a good way. Lake was beautifully serene with the fall colors reflecting off the water. Picture perfect. Lodge was open with activities to do. Day trip to Truckee and Tahoe was a wonderful experience also. Thank you Collette once again for your hospitality and se

7 families and my family took time off work to do a Wednesday to Wednesday camping trip. We did this because we know that it is the only way to be together at a first come first serve campground so we have done this for years and years. We showed up, we all had our reservations and they informed us we have ASSIGNED spaces, they changed their policy and never said a word to us. All of our spaces were on opposite ends of the campground. Nowhere near each other. That’s the point of bringing eight families together-to be together. My space wouldn’t fit my trailer, so they assigned me a different spot. I got the trailer and set up and the kids settled, and my brother pulls in and says that’s his spot. So we go to the front desk again and they had a note on the door that they would be back in an

Generally, Thousand Trails Parks are well maintained and staffed. If you are a visitor, please remember the speed limit is 5 MPH in all park unless posted otherwise. 5 MPH means NO DUST on dirt roads and is only 2 MPH faster than a brisk walk. If you are looking for quite environment, this park may not be for you. Off-Road vehicles (OHV) have been allowed to traverse this parks without noise or speed control being enforced. I would hope this will be addressed in the future by management. The elevation of this park is high (6000') and cooler temperatures than the valleys below. Tall pine trees abound in the parks wooded sites which may pose a problem for longer RV's. There is a sand beach for swimming and some water sports, no powered vessels. At check-in you can purchase ice and ice cream!

Nice campground. RV spots in the trees are well planned and have easy access for backing in. Sites have water and electric. There are 2 dump stations. Campground has a welcome Center and very small general store. Pool and a couple of lodges. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick weekend getaway with easy access for Sacramento and Reno.

Our group with small children had an amazing time and loved the RV campgrounds. We collectively stayed in the Redwoods and it was beautiful. Everything was so clean and well maintained. The lake was great for fishing and good hiking trails. Colette and staff are extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful.
