Nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills. Make Hilltops Acres the hub for your Nevada County adventure! There are so many things to do and places to explore, all within 30 minutes of our camp. Take a dip in the South Yuba River, visit Empire Mine State Historic Park, check out one of the many wineries, or stroll along historic downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City. A great place to relax, play fun outdoor games, take in the breathtaking sunrise/sunset views, and simply enjoy our beautiful surroundings. Song birds and wildlife will narrate your stay on our 10+ acre property. Time takes on a different meaning out here. You’ll feel yourself relax into a slower pace-into the here and now. If you sit still, you can observe the wild flock of quail, the occasional pheasant, wild turkeys, and deer passing through on their daily routes. You can also check out our growing little farm. Visit with our little lawn mower goats, Flower, Pig (yes, a goat) and UniHorn. Snuggle with the two lady pigs, Pickles and Pepper. And play around with our people loving livestock guardian dogs Ari and Diesel. Unwind with a day at the river or lake, take a road or mountain bike ride, or a hike on one of the many local trails. You’ll be staying just 25 minutes away from the pristine South Yuba River. Wanna shop or check out a part of the Gold Rush history? The historic downtown Grass Valley and Nevada City are just 15 minutes away as well. There is so much local history and many cultural activities to enjoy in our area, boasting a variety of mom and pop shops, delicious eateries, and eclectic "watering holes" featuring craft brews, local wines and tasty cocktails. Live music in many locations adds an upbeat and lively ambiance. No matter what you choose to do on your stay, we know you’ll enjoy every minute of it here at Hilltop Acres.Our Glamping Tipi / Tepee: No need to “rough it” at Hilltop Acres! This tipi comes fully furnished with a Queen size plush pillowtop bed, complete with luxury bamboo-derived bedding giving you the most soft, breathable, and comfortable nights’s sleep. On request, we can also provide 2 additional twin sized camping mattresses (no linens provided) Sit out and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Sierra Foothills on our Airondeck chairs. Or take a nap under the trees in the hanging hammocks. Erected in a triangular fashion, the shape and design allow tipis to keep warm during winter and cool during summer. But if more comfort is what you require, turn on our provided cooling fan because this tipi also comes with electricity! With the 12 outlet and 6 usb surge tower, you don’t need to disconnect from the world unless you want to. Also available at no extra cost is a coffee bar inside your tipi for those slow mornings when you don’t feel like walking across the way to the outdoor kitchen. Did we say outdoor kitchen?! Yes! Glamping isn’t Glamping unless you can griddle up some French toast or whatever else your fancy heart desires. Our outdoor kitchen comes with an extra large sink, hot plate, griddle, personal sized crockpot, and extra electrical outlets. We even have some dishware and cooking utensils for you. All kitchen amenities are stored outside, so we recommend giving them a quick rinse before each use. Or if you prefer the old fashioned camping way, we provide a briquette BBQ. (Briquettes for purchase) And during fire season we provide a propane fire pit so you don’t have to forgo the nighttime s’mores and ambiance as you star gaze and listen to the wildlife come alive. Also on site is a full indoor bath. Flushing toilet, sink and shower make your stay easy and comfortable. And to top it all off we provide an EV Charging station! Activities Besides the walking and bike trails, the South Yuba River 25 minutes away, wineries in every direction, and the historic Grass Valley and Nevada City Gold Mining towns just minutes away... You can also check out our growing little farm. For just $30 visit with our little lawn mower goats, Flower, Pig (yes, a goat) and UniHorn. Snuggle with the two lady pigs, Pickles and Pepper. Meet our cute little mini horse, Cookie. Feed the chickens, Guinea hens and peacocks. And play around with our people loving livestock guardian dogs Ari and Diesel. Also available on site at no extra cost is a horseshoe pit, a disc golf basket, and outdoor Yahtzee! You won’t get bored, unless that’s your goal, here at Hilltop Acres!

Glamping Tipi w/ Full Indoor Bath
The tipi was sooo cute, and the wood stove kept me warm at night. The power went out in the tipi on my second night. Luckily, I had camp lights and a book to keep me busy. All in all, amazing stay: Firewood and eggs for sale, a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, hammocks, cozy bedding, and a working bathroom. Did not want to leave!

Josh and Valerie are very responsive, respectful, and helpful throughout the entire process. They gave thorough instructions on site usage, management, and direction so everything was seamless. We opted to pay for EV charging, which was such a huge blessing since it charged our car overnight! It allowed us to explore neighboring cities (which by the way have THE nicest people around). My partner and I went during a rainy weekend, so we unfortunately couldn't utilize all the fun activities they laid out onsite. Despite that, it was still fun experience to stay in a tipi and cook outside. We also opted to visit Josh and Valerie's farm and met their family! Such incredibly kind and humble individuals. Definitely worth visiting them and meeting all their animals, which we were able to pet.

Dream place for glamping
It’s perfect escape from the city. We took our son and his girlfriend visiting us from London. We explored Nevada City and Grass Valley - great shops and had an epic time at Yuba river. Sitting by the campfire under the stars… making full breakfast in the morning! And a huge highlight was the farm tour.

Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely coming back here. A big plus was level 2 EV charger at the parking area.
