Carson City, Nev – Beginning Thursday, July 2, the Indian Creek Campground (ICCG) will open access for day-use only in certain areas of the campground. ICCG is located in eastern Alpine California, fifty miles south of Reno, Nevada.
Areas of the ICCG which will open for day-use only include the day-use and parking area. The boat ramp will remain open. Areas that are closed for the remainder of the season include the main RV tent and camping area, the tent walk-in area, group-use camping area, and the dump station. Members of the public with reservations for ICCG will need to contact recreation.gov for a refund.
There is extensive planned maintenance which could create public health and safety issues at the campground. Due to the amount of construction equipment that will be present at the various locations within the campground, campers would be impacted. Construction at the campground will begin in mid-July and is projected to be completed by the end of September.
The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners continues to be paramount. We continue to work closely with the Department of the Interior and follow CDC guidance to ensure public and employee spaces are safe and clean for visitors, employees, partners and volunteers.
The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating on public lands prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will continue to monitor all functions to ensure that visitors adhere to CDC guidance for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and take any additional steps necessary to protect public health. When recreating, the public should follow local area health orders standards for individuals, businesses and employers, practice Leave No Trace principles, practice social distancing and avoid high-risk outdoor activities.
Details and updates on operations will continue to be posted on our website https://www.blm.gov/office/carson-city-district-office and social media channels.
