Inn Town Campground

I don’t think there’s much I can say that’s not already been said here in the reviews. I think this campground deserves all the praise it’s received. As a camper that prefers as much space as I can get between my spot and the next, I appreciate the park architects (parkitechts?) opting for a well forested, undulating landscape with fewer spots instead of a flatter, pack ’em-in strategy. Not to knock the efficiency of higher-volume grounds, getting more campers out to the great outdoors. It was just great to feel like we were camping in a calm and peaceful forest, while only a mile from the historic Nevada City downtown.

I appreciate the ability to reserve our particular spot ahead of time and to just know what to expect when we arrived; where the site location was, the utilities available at our site and where we’d be in relation to the rest of the campground’s amenities. Speaking of amenities, the restrooms and showers were consistently very clean. At this location, we decided that the use of the spotless restroom/shower facilities made more sense than using our camper’s wet bath (which would’ve required additional clean up at the end of our stay anyway).

Also appreciated was the 9 pm courtesy text from the campground management as to the evening’s quiet hours. I’ve spent my share of time at campgrounds with little to no oversight of the nighttime noise levels. From our area of the grounds, campers seemed to be very respectful of the quiet hours each night.

For the $65 per night fee at our site, it seemed like a reasonable price for what was offered (the fee included water and electricity minus sewer at our specific spot). One possible glitch in the registration process is that the reservation form didn’t make it clear as to how to register a second vehicle. I somehow missed that detail when booking, anticipating a friend driving up separately to stay with us. There was an extra charge on our arrival that amounted to about $11 per night for the second vehicle pass.

Although we live close by, it felt like we really got away. It was our maiden voyage with our rig, and everything went very smoothly. The week prior to our arrival, the camp sent us an informative email including a link to the camp site map, and check-in procedures, what to do in the area. The check-in was well organized and brief, including a map showing how to get to our camp site. The roads and are nicely graded dirt/gravel, and our back-in site was easy to get in to. Hook ups were nicely done, with a night light for the electrical utility box. The overall campgrounds were nicely kept, trash and recycle receptacles conveniently placed. Bathrooms were kept immaculate. There is a strict 9pm noise curfew, and friendly camp hosts were out and about kindly reminding those who needed it about the curfew. A train museum borders the park as you drive in. Historic Nevada City is a mile walk (or drive) with lots of fun shops, eats and drinks. Overall a wonderful stay for us, I would highly recommend.

This campground is beautiful and clean. The owner's do a great job. It would be an awesome place for a family reunion as it offers canvas cabins to rent. The tent areas were beautiful, wooded and shaded. It would be great if they had more RV spots with full hook-ups. Site RV-13, is a ADA site, very well done. The view from this site is of the train museum parking lot. Most sites on that side of the park had views of the train museum (storage area too). I thought the nightly price was high at $68. The internet was not great and there was no cable TV. Just saying for the price, no hot tub, no outdoor fires allowed, no usable internet for streaming videos or YouTube. We brought our bikes but did not find that Nevada City to be bike friendly. I would return with a group, but otherwise it wouldn't be a place I would go running back to. Maybe a great "getaway" if they offered a discount, such as Passport America, Good Sam, etc.

Inn Town Campground is in the small, wooded town of Nevada City, CA. The campground is a little bit challenging to find, as it is behind a cemetery and the signage is a little overgrown. Look for the Railroad Museum, and it is right next door.

The campground is beautiful. It is very wooded with lots of tall pine trees throughout the property providing shade and scenery. There are only about 18 or so RV camping spots, and the rest are either tent camping locations, or “glamping” sites. The glamping sites are tent-cabins that are available for rent for those that want to not deal with setting up a campsite.

The bathrooms and showers are immaculate. I heard several campers comment on the very clean conditions of the facilities. We found three bathroom complexes around the property, so none were too far.

We were in our 35’ fifth wheel. The RV sites were 30amp and 20amp only, no 50amp connections. Also, only a couple of the sites had sewer available, ours did not. There is a dump station on-site.

Propane fire pits are allowed, but no wood burning fire pits. Also, no smoking is allowed on the property. There is a pool on-site, and weekend activities are available as well.

We paid $60/night during the week and $67/night on the weekend.

It was a beautiful campground, and quiet as well. It is good for families or couples. We would definitely stay there again.

We have been on the road for over a year, and found the Inn Town Campground one of the best commercial campgrounds so far. The unique gravel sites are level and well situated. There are a number of sites to accommodate various sizes of RV's. They offer both tent camping, and "Glamping" in canvass tents.

There is an amazing Commons area the offers a full kitchen and dining room. Outdoor areas include grills, and propane fire pits.

The campground is located next to the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum, State Parks, Nevada City and Grass Valley.

Wifi access was excellent!

The folks at Inntown have done an amazing job here, I would imagine a lot of money invested. Everything is done right. Great community gathering place in the Club House, with lounge area and kitchen. They even have cast iron cookware, very cool. Ping Pong table... & a swimming pool going in too, ready for next season, 2017.
This isn't just any old RV campground, the emphasis is on community, with shared outdoor cooking and campfire facilities, tent camping, their own glamping tents and several spots for larger trailers too. Hook-ups available too. (& a dump station) Toilets, showers and dish clean up area all spotless, my 14yr old son said, "the restroom was like being at a restaurant" !
Wifi was very strong, even worked in the Airstream, which can be tough. Site 1 was 90% shady, but there are other RV sites in full sun for most of the day.
The owner and staff were all super friendly and helpful, we've all read those horror stories about campsite managers being rude, these folks bent over backwards to make our stay pleasant.
We loved our experience and will return for next Labor Day weekend.
