Inn Town Campground
Overview
Inn Town Campground offers a unique blend of boutique hospitality and historic charm nestled under a canopy of towering pines in the Sierra Foothills. Located just outside the heart of Nevada City, this 15-acre retreat provides a modern, elevated take on the traditional camping experience. It serves as an inviting basecamp for travelers who want to disconnect in nature without sacrificing proximity to local culture. The park balances a rustic forest setting with high-end facilities, making it a standout destination in Northern California.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated on a historic Gold Rush-era site, providing a serene environment that feels deep in the woods despite being less than two miles from downtown. The surrounding terrain is characterized by massive ponderosa pines and incense cedars, offering plenty of shade and a crisp mountain atmosphere. Guests benefit from direct trail access that leads from the campground through the forest, allowing travelers to transition seamlessly from peaceful woodland paths to the bustling historic district.

A standout feature is the Commons building, a stylish central hub featuring a fully equipped shared kitchen, comfortable lounging areas, and exceptionally clean restroom facilities. RV travelers will find sites equipped with electricity and water, along with access to a refreshing seasonal swimming pool and a well-curated camp store stocked with local goods. The park emphasizes community with a shared campfire area and regular outdoor movie nights, creating a welcoming social environment for guests of all ages.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure is just minutes away at the South Yuba River State Park, famous for its crystal-clear swimming holes and scenic hiking trails. History buffs can explore the Empire Mine State Historic Park, which preserves one of the oldest and deepest gold mines in California. For a change of pace, the nearby downtown area offers artisanal shops, local breweries, and fine dining set against a backdrop of preserved Victorian architecture, ensuring there is always something to explore.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for modern RVers who appreciate a curated, aesthetic environment over a standard paved lot.

This place is amazing! It’s close to Nevada City which is a great place to explore, shop, and grab a bite to eat. The campground layout is beautiful, there are heated glamping tents-with heated mattress pads! There is a nice gift shop in case you forgot anything, a stocked communal kitchen with a nice dining room right next to it, clean showers and bathrooms and an area to gather for games or to hang out and read a book if it’s raining outside. Did I mention the propane fire pits for s’mores?? We had a wonderful time here and highly recommend it.

I've been camping at Inn Town since 2015. It's such a beautiful campground, surrounded by trees, nicely designed and spacious campsites. Erin and Dan have truly created something special in this town and it's the perfect backdrop to the swimming in the Yuba river on a hot summer day! Also, great place to stay in the cooler months. We look forward to our annual stay there each summer. Thank you for all you do to provide this epic place to enjoy and relax!

I love this campground! Amazing location if you want to also be able to easily access all the fun Nevada City has to offer. The campgrounds feels like you’re in the woods but it’s only a 15 min walk to downtown and a 5 min drive. There are a ton of amazingly clean restrooms including showers and dishwashing stations. They even supply sponges, drying rack and dish soap! The campground is great for kids, too. There is a beautiful little swimming pool with immaculate facilities. Tons of stuff for kids to explore including a mock downtown, old trains, gold mines and fun well marked trails. During the summer they also have movie nights on a projector screen! Just a few seconds from the front gate there is also a railroad museum and the option to ride the mini train around the campground.

This is one of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed at, and I've camped a lot. They don't nickle and dime you for little things, like paid showers. They are free because you're staying there. Little things like that. Erin was super helpful. It's the little things like good signage, lighting, walking distances, etc. I just really enjoyed it. Will be back!

It’s great for campers of all ages! Bathrooms were clean, showers were awesome and there’s lots of things to do. Highly highly recommend!!
