Hope Valley Dispersed

We have been coming here for years and it’s a favorite! Large open areas for groups or single sites tucked into the trees for privacy. Most sites are to the right (east) once in the area. All size rigs will fit and most places to park are fairly level. Yes there is some road noise and weekends can get busy but the views and activities in the area (hiking/kayaking) are worth it! Here in late Sept this trip so nights get chilly but days were warm! The quaking aspens change colors in early Oct. About 30 minutes from South Lake Tahoe and all its beauty! 14 day limit and ranger does come around checking on things.

This area tends to be called Scott's Lake by most RVers, because the lake sits above the sites. The dispersed camping area is right along Highway 88, so it gets really noisy. If you camp on the east side of the area, be prepared to camp alongside many other RVs, if that is your cup of tea. They definitely circle the wagons there. I don't think I can get ATT there, but you can around the corner a small ways up Highway 89. This is okay for city slickers with big RVs who are used to noise and don't mind. I just use it as an emergency stopover.
