Questions
Which sites at Logger Campground are the shadiest?
Most of them. 167 of 201 sites have good shade, much of it from the afternoon sun; the other 34 are more open.
See the tree canopy in RoamWhich sites at Logger Campground get the most sun?
Only a few. 7 of 201 sites are truly sunny and 30 more get some sun; the rest are shaded.

Only at a few. About 23 of 201 sites have a clear gap in the trees for Starlink and 67 a partial one; most sit under tall trees. Satellite texting on a phone needs less open sky, but still works best from the most open spot you can find. This is our estimate from tree heights — check with the Starlink app's obstruction check when you arrive.

11 of 201 sites are flat, and 27 more have a gentle slope most RVs can level with blocks; 163 are steeper, better for tents. Sites that take RVs or trailers fit rigs up to 50 ft.

Mostly. Verizon reports coverage at every site; T-Mobile at 61 of 201; AT&T at 100 of 201. That's the coverage each carrier reports to the FCC, not a measured signal, so under trees or below a ridge it can be weaker.

How we know Sources and limits
Shade, sun and Starlink are our estimates from Meta and the World Resources Institute’s canopy-height model (about 2 m pixels, from satellite imagery calibrated with space lidar; CC BY 4.0). From 2 m above each site we trace 72 lines out to 60 m and note the tallest tree in each direction. Shade counts trees overhead, the canopy within 30 m and how much of the afternoon sky is blocked. Sun counts how open the southern sky is. Starlink needs open sky above 35°, with the northern half counted twice because US dishes tilt north, and we keep the best spot within 8 m of the site’s post. The model sees tree heights only, not trunks, buildings or hills, so check with the Starlink app when you arrive.
Slope is the ground at each site’s post over about 4 m, from USGS 3DEP 1 m lidar: level under 2%, gentle to 4% (most rigs level on blocks), sloped to 8% (fine for a tent), steep beyond.
Cell coverage is from the FCC Broadband Data Collection (carrier filings as downloaded May 2026): each site is tested against each carrier’s modelled outdoor 4G/5G coverage. It is what the carriers report, not a measured signal.
Weather is NOAA’s 1991–2020 climate normals for the campground. Sites and facts are from Recreation.gov’s open data (July 2026). Map imagery: USGS The National Map. Photos: Recreation.gov.
From the campground’s Recreation.gov listing: “This large campground offers over 200 single, double, and triple family campsites. Campsites are arranged in six loops: Cross Cut (1-60), Iron Ox (61-115), Steam Donkey (116-161), Whistle Punk (162-187), Ox Bow (188-209), and Double Bit (210-252). Picnic tables and campfire rings with grills are provided, along with vault toilets and drinking water. A boat ramp and boat trailer parking is located less than a mile away. An amphitheater is located within the campground and is accessed by car or the shoreline hiking trail. The dump station is currently closed until repairs can be made and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. The campground is situated on the south side of Stampede Reservoir, which is located on the Little Truckee River, approximately eight miles above the confluence of the Little Truckee and Truckee Rivers. A forest of ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine and fir trees covers the area. Sagebrush dots the forest floor.”
