Sagehen Creek Campground

   

DESCRIPTION:

Primitive camping with 10 campsites and vault toilets. Developed drinking water is not provided so you must bring water or purify creek water. No garbage containers (pack-in, pack-out), but camping is free. Sagehen Creek is noted for its flyfishing (especially downstream) and has been nominated by the Tahoe National Forest for designation as a Wild and Scenic River.
