Lakeside and Mountaintop Camping in Tahoe National Forest
Welcome to Snowflower RV Resort
Nestled within Tahoe National Forest, high in California’s Sierra Nevadas, is a resort of unique splendor. Snowflower’s mountains and valleys, forests and trails evoke a feeling of wonder and joy to all who experience them. Many resorts offer a place to set camp, near destinations of natural beauty and recreation. At Snowflower you can, for a time, make your home at a lakeside, in the middle of a forest scape, or even at the very edge of a cliff face, high above Six Mile Valley! When you stay at Snowflower, you are staying at a resort that is itself as magnificent as a National Park or Forest!
We offer Cabins with full kitchens, Yurts for glamping, and beautiful sites with hook-ups for RVs and Tents. Enjoy our magnificent Alpine Lodge, swimming pool, playgrounds and sports courts. Our Recreation Department will provide opportunities for you to enjoy fishing, kayaking, sports, games, nature hikes, arts and crafts, and direct you to adjacent lands for mountain biking and ATV enjoyment.
If you feel the desire to balance your stay at Snowflower with the best culture that the Sierras has to offer, there is nearby historic Truckee: from its fantastic restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and galleries, to its top-notch discount stores. And if you want even more, less than 20 minutes from Truckee, is the shore of Lake Tahoe itself.
After one visit with us, you’ll be looking forward to your next!

- Long-term or seasonal stays: For stays 28 days to 184 days at an RV campsite or in a rental accommodation, if you cancel or change your reservation up to and including 45 days prior to your scheduled arrival date, we will issue a refund for the amounts paid by you.

If you cancel your reservation and provide less than the required notice, you forfeit your deposit amount.
- Annual stays: Due to the strong demand for our extended-stay reservations (lasting 185 days or more) and the limited site availability at many of our campgrounds and resorts, we recommend securing an extended-stay site by placing a site holding deposit. This deposit can be made at your convenience and consists of a $150 site holding fee, which is fully refundable under the following terms and conditions. Should an Agreement for Use of RV Site for your extended stay not be fully executed within seven (7) business days (excluding weekends and federal holidays) following our receipt of your $150 site holding deposit, or within any additional time needed between the parties to finalize the Agreement, then the site holding deposit ($150) is fully refundable to your original form of payment. Once we issue your refund, it may take an additional 7-10 days for your financial institution to make funds available in your account. Please contact us at (855) 336-8892 if you have not signed an Agreement for Use of RV Site or received a refund within that time frame. Please note that the $150 site holding deposit secures a site at your selected campground or resort, but does not secure a specific site. A manager or other employee working at that campground or resort should reach out to you after you make the $150 site holding deposit to discuss site location and the execution of an Agreement for Use of RV Site. In order to sign an Agreement for Use of RV Site allowing an extended stay at a campground or resort, you must meet residency requirements for seasonal or annual stays. If you become an annual guest pursuant to an executed Agreement for Use of RV Site, the $150 site holding deposit will then be applied to either the administrative fee (if applicable), or will be credited towards the annual site payment. Advertised rates do not include taxes and fees. Electricity is not included for stays of 30 days or longer. Usage of any seasonal or annual site may be limited to dates that the campground or resort is open. While, if you become a seasonal or annual guest pursuant to an Agreement for Use of RV Site, you may leave your RV on the site year-round, there are restrictions that limit the amount of time you may occupy your RV on the site that vary by campground and resort. Open dates and length of stay vary by campground and resort. Must be a current Thousand Trails member or purchase a Camping Pass membership in connection with seasonal or annual stays at Thousand Trails campground. Amenities vary by campground and resort. Please discuss details with the manager of the campground or resort that you select. Start the process for your longer stay by following this link.
