White Cloud

Nestled in the lush, wooded terrain of the Tahoe National Forest, White Cloud Campground offers a tranquil escape located conveniently off Highway 20. At an elevation of 4,377 feet, this federal campground provides a refreshing mountain atmosphere that remains open for visitors year-round. Its most compelling feature is its direct proximity to the 25-mile Pioneer Trail, a premier destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians looking to explore the natural beauty of the region.

As a rustic USFS facility, White Cloud is designed for those who enjoy a back-to-basics outdoor experience. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table, perfect for evening campfires and outdoor meals. While the campground accommodates tent, car, and RV camping, it is important to note that there are no utility hookups available, making it best suited for self-contained travelers and campers who appreciate a primitive setting.

Whether you are looking for a basecamp for mountain adventures or a quiet spot to spend the night, White Cloud offers a modest and peaceful environment. Its central location also places you just six miles from the recreational opportunities at Scotts Flat Reservoir, ensuring that plenty of water-based activities are within easy reach.
