Best Glamping near La Porte, CA

This campground has it all. It’s clean, has great amenities (pool, showers, kitchen, bathrooms), and it’s a nice walk away from town. It has a spot for everyone - RVs, glamping tents, and the standard tent sites (my style).

Highly recommend!

We spent two nights doing a family and friends reunion. We loved our rv spot, the rest of the group had great tent site and glamping tents. Facilities were super clean and nice. Pool was small but the pool area was really nice. Great location for swimming in the Yuba river!

The Inn Town Campground is unlike any other campground I’ve ever been to. We have stayed in one of the glampinig tents, and have also brought our RV. The common house has a fully stocked kitchen so you can camp without having to bring supplies! The campground is exceptionally clean and meticulously maintained. We even had a heated mattress pad in our glamping tent to keep warm 😁 The owners, Dan and Erin Thiem, really have thought of everything. Staying with them is a must!

This is such a beautiful piece of California. It is clean and well maintained my daughter who is 5 loved writing her hoverboard around the entire park there are lots of kids to play with and the caretaker and his family were super welcoming and professional. It is really relaxing and refreshing

I am a member of Thousand Trails and that being said this is one of my favorite TT spots in California. Family friendly, great little Lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. RV sites have partial hook ups.  Thousand Trails does not reserve campsites so it can be quite a scene to find a site especially in the summer. Only one dump station was open (there are 3) so waited 30 + minutes to dump, hopefully management is working on that… they do offer a honey wagon service for $40.00 available 2 times a week.

Nothing terribly good or bad about this site. Lakefront is a plus, great if you’re in the area...probably not worth a trip unless you’re boating.

Very pretty views of the valley from the campground, and having hiking trails start from the campground was really nice. Only complaints are very close neighbors and little shade.

Despite the beautiful Joshua trees this campground is not a great to stay. The roads are in terrible condition, trash is strewn throughout, and staff is less than friendly or helpful. Roads are terribly narrow and sites are small and very uneven. Not a great place for a trailer nor class A. No direct access to park via road. Is next to neighborhood

This campground had riding trails that could bring you to Sly Creek and secret camping sites that a quad or 4 wheel drive could find. It's closed until 2023 due to the fires. My review is based on my experiences prior to that. The main camp area sits on 2 sides of the creek and has hand pump water and a vault toilet. The road to the old campground is largely washed out but some still find their way down to enjoy the more private and primitive camping and the freedom to get a kid as they want... plus 2 private beaches next to the creek. No bathrooms or water at the old campground and the rangers do come through to make sure you don't have a camp fire down there. Beware there are TONS of mosquitoes!!

Great campsite at the bottom of lower sardine lake. Busy on the weekends. Booking advised.

Facilities are good.

Great fishing in the lower lake.

Trail to the upper lake is a nice steady incline. About an hour there and back. Little shade so wear a hat.

Upper lake is accessible by 4x4 but high clearance is necessary and good understanding of lines is recommended.

I camped here often with my two sons and have fond memories of the Sierra Buttes

Our site was great, but didn’t have very much shade. It was nice to be hike up to volcano lake from our campsite as well as sardine lake and upper sardine lake.

Campground was situated nicely with perfect trees for our hammocks and bathrooms were tidy. Beautiful hiking within minutes of the campground with gorgeous views of the lake and boulders - and even waterfalls! There’s no cell service and no services at the campsite so pick up firewood from the one motel/cafe/gas/market on the way in.

We had great time at sardine lake campground. Great place for active families. Gorgeous view of sardine lake and sand pond in walking distance and lots of other lakes around the area.

My family has been camping here since before I was born and we love it! It's definitely a gem of the Sierras. The lake is beautiful and Sand Pond is great for swimming. There is plenty of hiking and fishing around and it is such a peaceful place to relax and read a book. I would recommend hiking up to the Buttes if you're looking for a challenge. Be sure to stop at Bassett's for some icecream on your way out!

This campground is one of my all time favorites! Shhhhh don't spread the word too much. The typical Sierra granite spires around the lake make for the scenery. There's a bar/shack on the water at the resort which is so cute and fun too. It's not open but for like a couple hours before each dinner seating but it's still fun none the less. Hiking around here is beautiful as well.

First visit! Staff has been great. Very clean. Close to Graeagle, Ca. Lakes and fishing nearby.

Surprised how well maintained and friendly staff assisting with set up. Nice dog large area without enclosed fencing. All short term campers are located in the center very cozy. Lots of families and kids and noisy. We were able to ride bike in the park and on the road that was safe with little to no traffic. Several grass areas for guest minus pets. The perimeter areas are for permanent residence with several for sale. So no chance of getting some nice sites. A number of tiny cottages to rent. The railroad tracks along side of park and loud in early hours you got use to it. Will return but off season when kids are back in school. Also no access to creek from park. Recommend very clean park

This campsite has great amenities with restrooms that have a sink and REAL toilets. Very clean. Large secluded site with the forest behind you. Beautiful landscape with a history of hydraulic mining. There’so

a trail to a nearby overlook to see the stripped hillsides. Although I dislike the idea of stripping the land of resources, the view is still a sight to see and an interesting part of the history of the area. There’s a small ghost town five minutes drive from the campground which includes a small museum (closed for covid). They are still open sell ice and firewood. One car is included and extras are $5 extra per day. No fires were allowed because of extreme fire danger. There was a bear that seemed quite at home in the forest behind us. The ranger told us they named her Goldie. She had a beautiful golden coat and apparently is pregnant. They had made her sound a little aggressive when warning us about her. But she actually responded to us banging our pots quite well by leaving our area. She mainly frequented the campground trash cans. Keep everything with a scent in your bear box and stay alert for bear visits! There were also very obnoxious bee flies which harassed us pretty regularly in the mornings when we were making breakfast. Bring bug spray for mosquitos as well. The river is about 20 mins away at Edward’s crossing if you have a car that can make it down the bumpy, dusty North Bloomfield Rd but for paved roads (Tyler Foote and highway 49) it’s about 30-45 mins. Highway 49 bridge is about 25-30. Both beautiful spots but you will need to hike in to get a secluded or semi-secluded spot. Very hot and humid so come prepared with lots of water. Parking is usually farther up the road because of how crowded it is. Chute hill is a great campground if you’re looking for larger spots with privacy amidst a nice forest with some history but be prepared for all the wildlife and bugs in the area.
