Subject:      Campgrounds along Truckee River in Calif.?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Mrs Squirrel has to attend a conference in Reno, NV in July, at the end
of which she wants to join me and Mellow Yellow and do a little camping
near Lake Tahoe. She's thinking that if we can find a nice spot close to
Tahoe, maybe along the Truckee river, she could talk her sons and
grandkids into visiting. They'd want to stay in a Tahoe hotel and do the
stuff they like to do, like gamble, and everyone can get together to go
rafting and other outdoorsy stuff.

The Truckee river area has been a popular camping destination for
generations, and I imagine that campgrounds along the Truckee fill up
soon and many, if not most, could not be be considered secluded by any
stretch of the imagination.

Recommendations? CGs that don't look like trailer parks, aren't as
crowded as Hoovervilles
