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. We have chickens, turkeys, goats, pigs and a mini horse. 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 You won’t get bored, unless that’s your goal, here at Hilltop Acres!

Sacred Goddess Getaway hilltop acre
WOW! This land is incredible! I hosted a small women’s gathering for the weekend here at Hilltop acres and I am blown away by how amazing everything was during or stay. The tipi was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The cozy fire pit area with the lovely lights around really set a beautiful ambience for relaxation. The kitchenette area was lovely! (Could possibly use a light above sink though!) the bathroom was great! Wonderful to have a flushing toilet and hot shower at our convenience. The privacy was perfect, I was able to set up a massage area in nature which was absolutely wonderful to work in a beautiful area. And what a way to receive a massage surrounded by beautiful nature! I set up and facilitated a sound bath in a perfect area for the guest to lay out and embrace the healing of sound. Everything about this place was so magical and perfect for the Sacred Goddess Getaway hosted by MoonBodySpirit. We will for sure be gathering here again in the future. And I will definitely be coming back for a personal trip as well. This place holds a special place in my heart. History was made on this land. The first ever women’s gathering I created from a vision. Thank you thank you THANK YOU Valerie & Josh. The most incredible hosts!!!!!!

The tipi was so cozy for my kids and me. They especially had a great time playing the drums and making music with the rain stick. The land was spacious, along with the indoor shower and toilet. The outdoor kitchen was lovely, except the yellow jackets were quite annoying. Valerie and Josh were extremely speedy responders. We got cold the first night and they brought us comforters and extra blankets. We also toured their farm and their lovely kids showed us all the animals. It was an extra treat for my kids. I’d definitely come back.

Super cute spot
We enjoyed the space, Josh brought our eggs over and introduced himself (really friendly guy). We did the farm tour the following morning and the kids loved it! Sunday morning a couple deers came through. Although it's rural, you are in a neighborhood so something to mindful of. The tipi was great for our Saturday night drumming, it brought all the ambiance we needed. We enjoyed the propane fire for smores in the twinkle light lit outdoor space, making it the grand finale before heading out the next day.

We loved Josh & Valerie's spot, especially the tipi! We'll definitely be back to cook up some more delicious feasts "in" the glamping kitchen :)

Great!
Great! This was my first time using hipcamp (and I’m not a big camper in general) but I had a great time! Valerie and Josh were wonderful hosts- very friendly and accommodating. My kids loved the teepee and farm tour.

The host is really nice and the teepee is a cute idea but we definitely did not feel like it was private. You're surrounded by houses on three sides and you're on a slope. The farm is also not on site, you have to drive down to the farm which is not far but just not what we were expecting. The farm is super super cute though and she has all the animals. Would definitely recommend this part if you decide to camp here. The teepee itself is nice, clean, decorated nicely, and comfortable.
