Not northern Tahoe but a possible suggestion for an unreserved mountain getaway. We spent last weekend at Trumbull Lake Campground at Virginia Lakes off of 395. Half the campground is reservations and half first come/first served. We were shocked to see campsites still available on Saturday night. We arrived around 6pm on Friday and found a good selection available (34 and 37 are good ones). Within walking distance are Little Virginia and Virginia Lakes, watch for bald eagles and osprey. Red Lake is very close and most visitors do not know it is even there. The Hoover Wilderness trailhead offers access to upper basin lakes. Blue Lake is very close to Virginia Lake and before the climb to Cooney and the Frog lakes.
We stayed in the campground because it is close to the trailhead and allowed us to remain set up without moving the truck.
Have a great weekend whatever you decide.

I actually found reservations for Friday and Saturday night. Neither will be "scenic, quiet and calm", but I usually just pull in at 8:00 or so, pop up, go to sleep, get up, pop down, hit the road, do something away from people anyway. But thanks for the suggestions.
