Indian Springs Campground, Northern Sierra Nevada, California     Custom Search   AMENITIES: Restrooms Tap Water Do not camp here. The interstate - I-80 - is right over your head. I could not believe a beautiful campground had freeway traffic at a super close view and the noise was even worse. I forfeited my reservations and went somewhere else. Word to the wise - this is not a good place for humans seeking nature. Says Susie Burnett (Wed, 20 Jul 2011) Indian Springs Campground is located inside Tahoe National Forest. It is at an elevation of 5,600 feet, and is near HWY I-80. The campground has 34 campsites and is very popular. Vault toilets and water are available. Campers can enjoy backpacking, day hiking, plants and nature       viewing, fishing and swimming while here. It is very important to note that during the summer season, water can be very high and swift. My friend died this Saturday after jumping from the cliffs above the pool. There   were no signs posted. Please warn anyone that it is very dangerous. Says Stephanie The natural prettiness at this primitive campground is good; when you go camping for a couple of days at a primitive campground like Indian Springs Campground you're beyond doubt camping. This is a primitive campground which of course means that there are a small number of amenities. Water hookups are offered here, and naturally there are restrooms here. The delightful variety of local attractions and all the outdoors recreation are sure to keep you coming back again and again. In California you never run out of outdoors amusing stuff. Outdoors recreation is plentiful, some of the enjoyable stuff   you can do is hiking, fishing, swimming, and whitewater paddling, so possibly you want to stick around for a while.
