Prosser Family Campground has 29 campsites and sits on the west shore above Prosser Reservoir about 8 miles north of Truckee in the Sierra Nevada. A nice forest of Jeffrey pine and fir tees provide shade to most sites. Some sites have a peak of the reservoir. Group camping is also available at Prosser Ranch Group (about 1/2 mile away).

Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (20 to 60 feet). Each site also has a table, fire ring, grate and BBQ. Campground amenities include drinking water and vault toilets. Firewood is also available for sale from the camp host. A boat ramp is also nearby (about 1/2 mile). Cell service is good.
