Camp Nauvoo

24 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents86 acres · Placerville, CA
Camp Nauvoo was originally bought by the LDS church in the 1960's for a girl's camp. The camp was owned by the Boy Scouts from 2011-2015. The Rose family bought the property in 2016 with the intent to continue the tradition of tent camping as well as creating opportunities for exclusive events i.e., group/family reunions, weddings and corporate events. We are a small privately owned small campground (20 sites only) located on the outskirts of Placerville. The property features 86.5 secluded Tahoe like acres with beautiful year-round Weber Creek. The camp sites are placed along the creek or the bluff overlooking the creek. We have traditional dirt camping, canvas tents on platforms, teepees and glamping tents for those that want the comforts of home. We are tent camping only with only one site that allows a small travel trailer or van. (#14) . We are dog friendly and allow dogs in all but 5 glamping sites. We do enforce camp rules especially our quiet time between 10 PM and 7 AM (please review). We’ve been told that we have a “family camp” vibe. We are a great place for families wanting a safe environment for their kids but also several group sites for those that want to hang out together with multiple families. We are also a great base site for those wilderness enthusiasts with access to all the El Dorado National Forest including Desolation but want a hot shower at the end of the day. We have a lodge that is stocked with games and a ping pong table. The lodge has a microwave, Keurig machine and a hot water kettle for those hot drinks (BYO Cups).We have several tables set up for those that want to eat inside as well as multiple picnic tables along the side of the lodge with overhead protection. We have electricity at the at the lodge for small appliances and charging phones. We have a compressor on site to blow up your air mattresses or float toys.

We have hiking trails throughout the property. Our highlight is a camp fire bowl with bench seating with a stage to display camper talent which is perfect for the evening fire and roasting s’mores (bring the fixings). The creek starts out in spring looking like a rushing river featuring many fishing and swimming holes. As the summer progresses the water level falls but is still great for water play and fishing. We have propane BBQs (we provide the propane for BBQs) located throughout the property. We also have a propane grill and charcoal BBQ located in the common area for all to use. There is a dutch oven pit also in the fire bowl area. We do not allow wood fires at the individual sites but each site has a propane firepit for ambiance (not cooking) that requires you to purchase a 20 lb. propane cannister on site (add in extras) or pay cash on site.

Sierra Mountain Tranquility

11 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Placerville, CA
Come experience our majestic pine and oak wilderness, all with beautiful vista of Cosumnes River Valley and mountains for miles & miles. Lounge in the peace and quiet. Hang out with our goats, sheep, dogs, chickens, guineas, and ducks during the day! Our mission here at Fjellgard Ranch is to create a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. We started with 10 sites in May of 2021, but have reduced the number of bookable sites to 5. We would rather have less people here and have each site have it's own personal space. Most campgrounds shove you in shoulder-to-shoulder, and you find yourself trying to sleep 5 feet from someone's hammering RV generator! We are more interested in creating a tranquil and calm getaway for you, where you can enjoy all that nature has to offer in the Sierra Foothills. Our site is close to many attractions in the area. The area abounds with famous California gold country sites, museums, and historic Downtown Placerville. We are positioned about 20-30 minutes from some of the state's most beautiful swimming, kayaking, and hiking locations. Shenandoah Valley Wineries are a wonderful stop just 30 minutes South of us, and Apple Hill orchards are 30-40 minutes North-East of us. And of course, the ever-popular Lake Tahoe is 1 hour North-East on Hwy 50. We aim to create a peaceful, welcoming, and safe environment. We believe in diversity, inclusion, and equity for all people! PLEASE NOTE before you book: - We do not typically accept reservations Monday-Wednesday (unless holiday weekend) and are closed for those days. If you are wanting to book a longer stay, please contact us and we can evaluate your situation and open the dates for you. - Please book all extras through the Hipcamp App. If you decide later to add on anything after arrival, you can change your reservation to reflect. - All sites come with a fire pit during wetter months (typically Nov-May). Please check site to see if fires are currently permitted. All sites except Site #9 come with a picnic table. If this is during our dry season with high fire danger, we do not allow open wood or charcoal fires. If you have any questions about fires, please feel free to reach out to us. During dry season, propane fires & stoves are permitted and we rent them out in the extras section. - We cannot accommodate camping vehicles larger than 20 feet. We cannot accommodate trailers. We have a very small turnaround and it is difficult to maneuver larger vehicles and trailers in these areas. Site #1 is the only site that you can park at with a vehicle within the site. - Refunds are honored if you cancel before 72 hours prior to your check-in time. If your reservation starts at 2pm on Friday, you will need to cancel by 2pm on Tuesday. We do not refund for late cancellations due to unfavorable weather. Please do your diligence by checking weather reports early and cancel early if you believe you will not want to camp in those conditions. - Because we are in a natural mountain environment, we do have to deal with pests from time to time. During warmer months mosquitos, bees, ants, and wasps will often frequent our campsites, attracted by food. We do what we can to keep them away, but mid-Summer months especially are more difficult. If you feel like this will bother you, please consider booking with us Fall through Spring.

Luxury camping near Jackson guide

Overview

Burrowed in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Jackson, California is a hidden gem that captivates campers. Campers can set up in town at a campsite with full hookups and wifi. Then, take a 2-hour drive to stunning Yosemite National Park, renowned for its waterfalls, hiking trails, and rock formations. Move on to discover the wonders of Eldorado National Forest, where shimmering alpine lakes, majestic forests, and picturesque meadows invite adventure seekers. For more remote beauty, venture to Lake Tahoe, home to an extensive network of hiking and biking trails and skiing opportunities. On-site campgrounds also make it easy to spend the night at nearby natural attractions.

Where to go

Eldorado National Forest

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Eldorado National Forest is a favored stop for anglers. Its pristine lakes and rivers teem with trout, bass, and catfish. Campers can also boat, kayak, or canoe to enjoy the serene waters of Union Valley Reservoir or Jenkinson Lake. Or take an off-road adventure through the forest's extensive network of trails, including the challenging terrain of Rubicon Trail. Campgrounds such as Stumpy Meadows, Ice House, and the waterfront Loon Lake site offer a range of amenities for tent and RV campers including picnic tables and firepits.

Yosemite National Park

Two hours from Jackson is Yosemite National Park—full of rich landscapes and abundant outdoor activities. Marvel at the iconic granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome, hike along Mist Trail and Yosemite Falls, or embark on scenic drives to Glacier Point and Tioga Road. After a day exploring, set up at one of the on-site campgrounds that provide tent and RV options, picnic areas, and amenities such as restrooms and water. For a more secluded experience, consider pitching a tent around a campfire at Bridalveil Creek or parking the RV at Hodgdon Meadow.

Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit

Encompassing the stunning Lake Tahoe region, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit surrounds the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Known for cold-water swimming, boating, and fishing in the summer and snowboarding and skiing in the winter, campers can visit year-round for outdoor California fun. Explore the extensive network of hiking and biking trails, such as the famous Tahoe Rim Trail. RVers can set up at campgrounds like Camp Richardson and Nevada Beach Campground. For a winter chalet, try Fallen Leaf Campground to secure a cabin rental.

When to go

Spring and fall in Jackson showcase vibrant foliage among mild temperatures, which is great for long hikes in nearby parks. Summers are warm and dry with average temperatures in the high 80s to mid 90s, perfect for swimming and boating.
