Great For Families

Cold night's starting in September. I have stayed here in summer and in fall. I prefer fall because there are not many people and you can have the lake to yourself. Summer I would not attempt it as it turns into an RV city. The lake attracts lots of wildlife and it is bear country so lock up your food, or better yet tie it up in a tree especially in fall when the bears are bulking up for winter. In summer you might not see wildlife as the hordes of campers scare them off from the lake. There are also beautiful sunset here, and nice stargazing.

Very large, crowded, suitable for RVs and watersports people.

If you're looking for some peace of mind I would go somewhere else. There are a few sites in this massive campground that might give you some privacy but not many - it is a big camping compound really, and clearly aimed at RVs and watersports types. I'm a tent camper that really enjoys privacy and quiet. Not gonna happen here. Not a bad place if that is what you're looking for though, hence the three stars.

The lake was also a bust when I went - the drought is pretty intense this year so the water level was very low and the water did not look appealing. Most of the people at the shoreside drove there to unload their boats or jetskis.

Better options nearby if you're willing to look. I bailed on my reservation and camped at a smaller site nearby next to a river. Much more my jam.

Right on the lake

Sights are right on the lake and in the shade of the trees most of the day so it doesn’t get too hot.

Great camp ground with spacious spaces. Accomadates large groups and tent camping. Friendly host and very clean. Stones throw from the boat ramp and Stampede Lake. Only down is the place is a little noisey.

Beautiful area with an even prettier lake!

Lots of young people out late and having fun, suggest going when there isn’t a major Holiday so it’s more peaceful.

Camping at Stampede

We loved camping at Logger Campground bear the Truckee Tahoe area. Put your boat in the water, set up camp, enjoy the long weekend with all sorts of water sports and tree climbing.

camping with tent or RV is available.

Fire pits are taller than I’m used to, so build a bigger fire because the temps drop a lot overnight.

Great Experience

Our visit to Loggerhead campground actually didn't get off to a good start. When we arrived at the campground a pickup truck was parked in our spot. It was late and we couldn't find the owner so we ended up staying outside the park on the road. The manager got things worked out in the morning and refunded our money for the night before.

The campground is very dog and kid friendly. There are spots for tents and campers of all sizes. Stampede Reservoir is great for boating, skiing and swimming. Each campsite has a fire ring and grill. There are water spigots placed at regular intervals. There are some campsites that are next to the lake. It's only an hour from Reno.
