This 85 acre parcel sits just west of Nevada City, CA with the Deer Creek on our southern border and the Tribute Trail with the Newtown Canal on our northern border. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, It is a 10 minute drive to the quaint, historical gold rush town of Nevada City, and about 20-30 minutes by bicycle along the the Tribute Trail into town, or walk to the bridge that crosses the Deer Creek to a loop trail with lovely views and wooded scenery, about 1.5 hours there and back to the campground. The gorgeous South Fork of the Yuba River is a 15 minute drive away. Great hiking, biking and swimming opportunities abound in the surrounding Sierra Nevada Foothills. The Bowman Road is about 1 + hour's drive East on Hwy 20 to Lake Spaulding, the smaller Fuller and Rucker lakes and Bowman Lake, as well as the Grouse Ridge hiking area. Nevada City has great restaurants, bars, music and theater, as well as shopping and art galleries. We offer 4 tent platforms, as well as 4 RV parking sites. There are no hookups at this point, but there is a bathhouse with potable water, flush toilets and shower with warm water.

Loren and Scott have quite the sweet lil getaway! Just outside Nevada City (~10 min drive) and short distance to easy access points to the river (~25min) this was a perfect secluded place to set up camp for the weekend. My partner and I needed a retreat from the city, and since local camping for Yuba was out of season, but had such nice weather, we greatly enjoyed this middle ground to private & natural. Scott greeted us upon check-in, told us the digs on accommodations (very well kept!) and informed us we pretty much had the place to ourselves (truly felt like it too!). Easy drive in with a low height car and easy to find via maps and hosts instructions. Grounds were large and very spacious, so could work well for groups or couples retreat :) Highly recommend this property and host for your next trip out to Yuba!

Great for kids to explore !!

This was our second visit to Sierra Waters Homestead and it’s just a great place for little kids to get out and explore, safe for the family, and access to beautiful hiking trails. This trip the deer were around and bird watching was great !!

peaceful camping retreat

This was one of my favorite hipcamp sites in the area. The campsite is overlooking a beautiful valley and I felt that the platform had enough distance from other sites. I was impressed with the construction and cleanliness of the bathhouse. There is also a dishwashing area and picnic tables, it had everything we needed. The path along the creek made for a lovely morning walk. Would definitely stay again!

Sweet little campground

Had a great long weekend on Loren’s land! Campsites were tidy, bathroom/shower facilities were excellent, property was easy to find and navigate, and hosts were super friendly. We saw lots of deer and enjoyed being in close proximity to the Yuba, Nevada City and Grass Valley. I’ll definitely be back!
