Donner Memorial Hike/Bike (sites 93,95) in CA -- Campground & RV Camping in California

In the Sierra Nevada near Truckee, this 3,549-acre park marks the historical 1846–47 Donner Party encampment. Sites 93 and 95 are bike/walk-in only in the Creek loop section. Facilities include a modern visitor center, flush toilets, and pay showers. Donner Lake provides 1.7 miles of shoreline with beach access at China Cove; 18.5 miles of trails traverse meadows and forest. The iconic 22-foot Pioneer Monument and cabin sites tell the park's tragic history.

The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad. Sits on broad, near-level ground.

Crowded here -- the nearest through road is 0.1 miles off. A body of water lies 0.2 mi off. Schallenberger Ridge stands 1,520 ft above the site, 2.0 miles southwest. Night skies measure Bortle 4 -- a rural sky with a glow on the horizon. The nearest town, Truckee, is 3.2 mi off.
