Getting Outdoors
Unsurprisingly, one of the main reasons people choose to rent a camper near Tahoe National Forest is to enjoy hiking, biking, or horseback riding holidays. Over 100 trails wind through this vast state park, leading to hidden waterfalls, historic landmarks, and vast reservoirs. It's well worth visiting one of the many visitor centers that are dotted around the forest, especially the substantial center in Nevada City, where the staff will be more than happy to help you to find the perfect trail for your wants and needs. We can't talk about hiking in the Tahoe National Forest without mentioning the Sierra Buttes Trail. Best suited for intermediate and experienced hikers, the trail climbs the Sierra Buttes Mountains for five miles, rising around 1,450 feet, before opening up to stunning views of the Northern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.

Close by to plenty of walking trails, this is an excellent option for any keen hikers who enjoy getting back to basics.
Exploring the Area
When you're in need of a bit of change of pace from the great outdoors, consider popping across the border to Reno, which along with its abundance of casinos, is home to several museums that are worth visiting too.
