Upper Little Truckee Campground

I came in midweek and stayed as a walk-in reservation. The camp host was by far the best camp host I ever experienced. Vernon was super helpful and attentive. He shared lots of interesting stories and told me the best fishing holes. Bathroom was so clean for vault toilets in a campground. The sites are spacious and clean.

I especially enjoy the wordsmithing involved in that little succession of adjectives prefacing the exact type of Truckee Campground in which you are enjoying escape from those concentrated monuments to mankind's unending arrogance that we call "cities", in this case, those adjectives would be Upper and Little. I was pleased to note the existence of an adjacent Campground to the very proximal southerntier of Upper Little Truckee campground, its appellation being, of course, Lower Little Truckee Campground. I would very much like it if there existed in kind another adjacent campground entitled Middle Enormous Truckee Campground or another yet which carried the
