A great stay at Inn Town Campground! I pushed ‘the easy button’ for this camping trip. With its close proximity to San Francisco and no mountains to traverse, I was really looking forward to my long-weekend get-away. Upon arrival, I was greeted by one of the friendly campground staff. My site, 15, was directly to the right upon entering the campground; a large pull-through spot. I think one of the only spots with full sun and no shade. It was perhaps not the best spot in Summer, but could be great in Winter. It is also situated next to the wonderful Narrow Gauge Railroad and Transportation Museum. Even though the proximity to the museum is very close, there was very little noise, and I think the train only ran occasionally on Saturday. Looking out at the museum made for a fun view while sitting under my awning enjoying a cold beverage. My site was electric and water, only. There is a dumping station on the way out of the campground. A very clean and well maintained dumping station, at that. All sites are fairly large and spread out. I had plenty of privacy, even though I was close to the museum and the campground office/store central hub. However, it looks like there is a pool in the future of the campground, across from this site, so not sure of that will change the dynamics and the noise levels once installed. One of the things I had read about prior to arriving at the campground was the historic Chinese miner’s cemetery. To be honest, I wasn’t sure I wanted to camp around a cemetery! Turns out that it’s a very serene and wooded location within the center of the campground, and not spooky, more spiritual, a neat place to walk around. The road around the campground is dirt, but if going the posted speed limit of 5mph, there wasn’t much dust kicked up. As other’s have mentioned, there is a lot to see and do around charming Nevada City; shopping and great eats, a Saturday’s farmer’s market, and all within walking, or a short hike, from the campground. It is also a short drive to the Yuba River, a fly fisherman’s paradise. I would say my only ding is the extra $$ per pet policy, two dogs over a long weekend added up. Speaking of pets, I highly recommend Empire Kennels in Grass Valley, where I boarded my dogs for the day while I went fly fishing on the magical Yuba River. And, for a great fly fishing experience, Reel Anglers Fly Shop in Grass Valley is just awesome. They are within 5 minutes of each other and 5 miles from the campground. It can’t get much better than that. Oh, and wifi was pretty good too!
