Martis Camp Neighborhood Guide
Martis Camp is a gated private community in Truckee that has set a high bar for mountain resort living, combining a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, a private ski connection to Northstar California, and a family amenity program that draws comparison to a well-funded summer camp for all ages. The community sits tucked between Highway 267, the Lahontan Golf Club boundary, and the natural buffer of Waddle Ranch Preserve and Martis Creek meadows, giving it a sense of seclusion that feels deliberate rather than accidental. Life here runs on a predictable and appealing rhythm: morning lifts, afternoon golf, and evenings that rarely require leaving the gates. The tradeoffs are real but knowable, including HOA dues and assessments that reflect the level of upkeep, and snowplow schedules that start before dawn. For buyers who want the Tahoe experience without roughing any of it, Martis Camp delivers with consistency.
