About this campground
Location: Take the Hirschdale exit off Interstate 80 and head north to Boca Reservoir. The first point of entry is 2 miles north of the freeway. This takes you to roads on Boca Ridge, ending up on Verdi Peak Road. The second entry is 3 miles north of the freeway at Boca Springs Road. Turn right at Boca Springs Road, and then right again before the campground at Forest Road 72 to Verdi Peak. The third entry is at the end of the paved road where the Boca-Stampede Road makes a T-intersection with the Henness Pass Road. Turn right and continue up to the junction of the Tahoe and Toiyabe National Forests. Turn right again and you are on the Verdi Peak Road (the other end of Forest Road 72). Features: These roads are moderately difficult and provide good views of Boca and Stampede Reservoirs and the Sierra crest. From Verdi Peak, the Nevada landscape and the City of Reno are visible. Most roads are recommended for 4x4 only and are great for motorcycles and ATV's. Precautions: The Boca-Verdi OHV routes traverse areas of vegetation that are highly susceptible to wildfire during the dry season. Stay on roads and trails and please help prevent wildfires!
