Just two miles from downtown Nevada City, but worlds away from the bustle of daily life, is the new Inn Town Campground,
a 15-acre wooded site where you can put up a tent, hook up your RV, or
arrive with just your backpack and settle into a fully furnished
glamping tent.
There
is a total of 70 campsites, the majority allotted to tent camping. But
the glamping tents, at only $90-$100 per night, are both special and
affordable. Comfy beds with warm linens, bedside tables, and electrical
outlets allow you to sleep under the stars without giving up a single
creature comfort. Extra cots are available for kids for a small fee.
Just outside your door (whether camping or glamping) are a gas firepit
(upon request) and picnic table.
The
Commons, aka camp headquarters, has wi-fi, a grocery store, a full
kitchen with all the appliances you need to cook a meal, dining space, a
laundry room, a TV, reading nooks, and a barbecue area. There’s also a
bathhouse with flush toilets and both indoor and outdoor showers.
Co-owners Erin and Dan Thiem, who also run the lovely Outside Inn downtown, a renovated 1940s motel, have created a versatile and welcoming retreat for all-comers.
The
experience can be as unplugged or connected as you prefer. You can
visit the Chinese Miner’s Cemetery and Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum
nearby, or decommission your phones and go native among the mature pines
and sweet California dogwoods.
