Sprawling a 15-acre historic site, this campground is an ideal destination for families, solo adventurers, and everyone in between.
Inspired by the spirit of adventure and a deep-seated passion for outdoor hospitality, owners Erin and Dan Thiem have cultivated an environment that is both welcoming and innovative, drawing on their personal experiences and the evolving needs of their guests.
Rooted in Adventure and Family Values
The genesis of Inn Town Campground is a story of inspiration drawn from the Thiem family’s travels in New Zealand, where the concept of holiday parks catered seamlessly to families and adventurers alike. Holiday parks in New Zealand provide campers with ease of access to amenities, close proximity to bathrooms, and different types of accommodations, Erin told Modern Campground.
This experience laid the foundation for what Inn Town Campground would become—a haven offering a variety of camping options, each designed with thoughtfulness and a keen eye for detail.
“Our inspiration serves every day, as we built the campground with that idea in mind,” Erin Thiem told Modern Campground in an email interview.
This philosophy is palpable throughout the campground, from the strategically placed tent sites and luxurious glamping units to the fully-equipped RV hookups, each element designed to ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable outdoor experience.
The tent camping area offers traditionalists the joy of setting up their tent amidst towering trees, under the starlit sky, providing an authentic camping experience. These sites are thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and enhance the connection with nature, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
For those who seek a more luxurious outdoor experience, Inn Town Campground’s glamping units are the epitome of comfort in the wilderness.
Each glamping tent is meticulously designed to provide the ultimate blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, featuring cozy beds, and electricity.
Notably, the yurt stands out with the added comfort of a heater, ideal for cooler nights.
Glamping allows guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors without forgoing the comforts of home.
RV enthusiasts will find their needs well catered to with a range of fully-equipped RV sites, complete with electrical, water, and sewer hookups. These sites offer the convenience of home on the road, coupled with the scenic beauty and tranquility of the campground’s natural surroundings.
A Testament to Attention to Detail
The Thiems’ dedication to creating a memorable camping experience is often echoed in the feedback from their guests.
Many express appreciation for the meticulous attention to detail and the care invested into every aspect of the campground.

The dining area, with its comfortable seating and welcoming atmosphere, becomes a gathering spot for sharing stories and making new friends.
