Nevada City Summer Camping

Summer camping season is in full swing at the campground and it’s been a blast having so many happy campers.  We’ve already got folks planning their 2025 adventures, but for those of you who are little more spur of the moment we still have options for all varieties of camping during the week, click here for availability.  It’s fair week in Nevada County, so lots of fun happening in Nevada County.   While it’s been hot in Nevada City and we all keep dreaming of things cooling off… with kids starting school right around the corner, it’s time to squeeze the most of out these remaining summer days, the flows at the South Yuba River are finally down to low levels (but keep in mind the water level at Scotts Flat and Rollins Lake are also low).

For those who’ve been dreaming of a getaway to Nevada City, here are a few upcoming events:

• Outdoor movies, Friday & Saturdays (and by request on weekdays)
• Nevada City Farmers Market, Saturday mornings
• Nevada County Fair, August 7th-11th
• .Nevada City Constitution Day Parade and events, September 14th and 15th
• Draft Horse Classic, September 19th-21st
• Heart of Gold Gravel Ride, October 5th

One of the great summer activities in Nevada City is to go swimming at the South Yuba River.  For those concerned about safety and river awareness, please monitor the river flows and continue to have river safety awareness when swimming.  Or if you want to participate in the annual SYRCL River Clean up, September 28th, sign up online.  We have directions to the river in our camp store for campers, so feel free to ask us for more swimming hole information.  Or, for our campers who are looking for something refreshing but closer, you can always lounge by our swimming pool.  No matter what your outdoor adventure preference, we’ve got great suggestions for those visiting us at the Inn Town Campground (biking, hiking, swimming holes, etc.).

We’ve had so many happy glampers this summer, from birthday gatherings, to couple getaways to staycations, so if you’ve been meaning to add a Nevada City glamping getaway to your summer bucket list, come visit.

We’ve had a lot of campers in electric cars this summer, so we put together a few suggestions on local charging stations and have some answered some of the frequently asked questions on our FAQ.  But, if you think of something we haven’t covered, feel free to let us know, we’re constantly trying to help people make their camping experience better.

To follow everything happening at camp, make sure to check out our Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok or Twitter feeds.  If you’re looking for more local ideas, check out the Visit Nevada City Instagram feed or the InnSide Nevada City blog.  Many thanks to those who have cheered us along, we love meeting fans in real life at the campground.  Thanks for making the summer so much fun!  It’s a lot of work, but we appreciate all the happy campers.
