Nevada City’s Inn Town Campground has been voted the “Best RV Park Campground” of 2023 by USA Today 10 Best readers.
The campground secured the top spot among ten finalists from across the country due to its proximity to historic Nevada City downtown, diverse camping options and amenities, and access to various outdoor recreation experiences. This recognition follows the Inn Town Campground’s 2022 win in the USA Today 10 Best category of “Best Campground.”
“We’re honored to be recognized in this way, and excited to put Nevada City on the map for those who want to explore all that our community has to offer,” said Erin Thiem, Inn Town Campground co-owner. “We love giving people an opportunity to experience the outdoors and take pride in making their camping experience as easy as possible. That’s why we proudly offer a variety of camping options – from tent sites to sites with full RV hook-ups to fully furnished glamping tents – our goal is to suit different needs and preferences.”
As the Inn Town Campground begins its eighth summer season, guests can expect the return of its full schedule of on-site and nearby events. Regular activities include outdoor family movie nights, lawn games, and kid’s crafting activities, designed to engage family members of all ages.
Free local history hikes led by the Folk Trails Hiking Club will also return this year. These hikes will focus on themes such as women’s history month, historic cemeteries, architecture, trees, and guided walks through downtown Nevada City to learn about the community’s rich history.
