Near California you can camp at Gold Ranch (about a mile or two from California), Boomtown KOA (about four or five miles from California)or in Sparks near the marina. That would be around 12 miles from the border. All should be able to handle 60 feet and have hook ups. There is also an RV park at the Boca/Hirshdale interchange just inside California (Truckee River RV park) and about 18 miles west of Donner Summit at Cisco Grove. Lots of options. If you just want a rest area, there is one on top of Donner summit.
