Best Glamping near Strawberry Valley, 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.

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!!

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

Words don't do it justice stop on by and see for urself! This here is God's Country!

Our family has been coming here for years. We love it. Nice quiet lake. Good campsites. Good general store and even a little restaurant and ice cream shack.

Some of my family has camped here in the past at one of the tent sites. We decided this time around to reserve one of their cabins. We stayed at the Diamond P cabin which has the best view of the lake within this group of cabins. You can walk to the lake (it’s about 100 yards) from this location. Though it does fill up fast (by 11am it was pretty full). They have a large portable toilet there for use. We spent our time at the pool which is near the flushable toilets and the ice cream parlor, restaurant, and camp store. The pool goes from 3.5’ ft to 5’ back to 3.5’ ft.

The cabin was great. Two bedrooms, each with twin bunk beds and a full bottom bunk and twin above. Small bathroom with shower, mini fridge, hot plates, microwave, and dishes. Dining table and futon in the living area. Nice wide front porch to sit on and enjoy the view, communal tables and bbq for all the cabins. This unit also had a swamp cooler to help manage the heat.

Check in is 4pm and check out is 11am. There is also a small game room with a pool table, a baseball field, paddle boats, and kayaks to rent.

The down side is how quickly the easiest access to the lake fills up. Everyone has to drive over from the tent RV site to access the water. There are other places you can drive and park to get to the water, but there it a drop off into the water from there vs a gradual walk in.

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.

Malakoff Diggins was a great place to visit. We went the weekend after labor day and the campground was 1/3 full. The campground was clean and quiet. Running water and flush toilets (no showers). We saw 6 bears in the park (none in the campground itself) so be sure to keep all food and smelly stuff in the bear lockers. Excellent hiking nearby and really cool history.

Collins lake has become our destination for spring break. In early April it’s relatively quiet. Staff is great, facilities are clean, kids love the playground, and the ice cream is oh so tasty.

Not a bad campsite, but was surrounded by RVs and people walking around. Can’t bring dogs onto the beach area which was a bummer, but was too crowded anyways
