As a large family, we had a great experience for our first time camping. Our tent camping…read moreexperience was affordable, the bathrooms and kitchen were extremely clean, the shower we had access to looked very clean and modern, and the staff were all nice and helpful. Shout out to Vince, one of the night managers! He was so warm and friendly to us and especially to our baby! It was great getting to know him and learned more about how the camp aims to welcome families and kids.

Having now stayed at Inn Town for 3 nights, I highly recommend this fantastic glamping/camping…read moreexperience. I have stayed in a few glamping tents before in CA and UT and MT. The glamping tents here are special. I mean heated mattress pads, lights, plugs, and fans? Fantastic. There is even warm, welcoming area specific decor. Our bed has a charming headboard made from a door where the recessed panels are hand painted. We came with two adults and three children and had two glamping tents, which were a fantastic value compared to the fancy KOAs which have become very expensive. Bathroom, shower (including a lockable outdoor shower), kitchen, and pool facilities are immaculate. If you are looking for a super clean, super fun, well located place with all the amenities you could want, and you are able to be a respectful camper, this is your place. So nice to be able to sleep without the smell of cigarettes, loud music, cussing when you have kids trying to sleep. Thank you Inn Town for providing that place. Most peaceful camping experience I have had in years. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends! Also, there is a gorgeous meadow to hang out in and you can walk downtown easily, and there is a camp store with necessities and luxuries.

At my site #39 i had to crib up the front end up quite a bit to get level. As im hooking up there was absolutly NO water pressure, neighbor said they were working on a busted line, it all came on a hour later, i use a surge protector on my rig which kept shutting off due to low voltage 94volts, i spoke with the office, they wrote a note, then it spiked over 136 volts i spoke with the office, they wrote a note, i removed my surge protector an connected directly to my dog bone, same thing 94 volts, i went to the office an purchased one of there dogbones for sale, same thing very low voltage. As im packing up to leave i take there dog bone back for refund an explaned why, the person behind the desk said "i wonder why they didnt call the electrican" So you know we went there to meet a large group, we dont have kids it was supposed to be a fun get away, i was to use my smoker to make a meal which i ended up using a seperate extension cord to another unit so i could use my smoker, This started on a thursday an we left sunday, plenty of time to get "there guy" but no one! There was no cost adjustment, just a "sorry"... Even the guy next to me said his electric fireplace kept turning off.The place appears nice other than that, guess my complaint revolves around for what was paid for the site $$$ they should be a little more attentive to issues when advised... several times.

Salmon Creek Campground - Sand Pond

My boyfriend and I camped at Salmon Creek, and I was very pleased with the site. We stayed in early…read moreOctober, so there were very few other campers. It gets very chilly in the evening! Our site, number 33, was far away from other camp sites. We had a great stretch of woods to enjoy, although poor Salmon Creek was totally dry. All of the sites come with a fire pit, a second pit with a grill top, a picnic table, and a bear box. We could hear a little bit of car noise from Gold Lake Hwy, but not too much. The location is very close to the Sardine Lakes, Sand Pond, and the trailhead for the hike to the Sierra Buttes fire lookout tower. It was a lovely 1.5 hr drive from Reno: not too far, but far enough so that it felt like we were in a new and different environment! I booked the campsite on recreation.gov for $33. In the morning the campsite manager stopped by to have me sign in. Check out is 2 pm. I highly recommend this site.

We stayed at Salmon Creek Campground in late August 2020. There were fires all over that had…read morefinally been contained enough for us to feel comfortable going. We live in Sacramento and had been dealing with all the ash and smoke for weeks. Coming up to the campground was so nice, as the air was clear and mostly crisp. It was a much needed break. We stayed at campsites #27 & #29. According to the reservation site (recreation.gov), both of these sites are on the creek side, rather than the highway side. But when we arrived, we found they were on the highway side (along with #26, so not all of them are listed improperly). It wasn't so bad, though, as the highway is a ways up above the site and it wasn't too busy. At night, I honestly didn't even notice the sound. #26 is really close to #27, but no one was there when we went, so it was fine. #29 is on the creek side and is actually downhill a bit. It's definitely the most secluded site on the entire campground. The restrooms are almost directly across from #26 and the door has slams literally every time someone uses it (unless they hold it to stop it from slamming, but why would anyone do that?), so it was a bit of a nuisance at night or in the early morning. The campground was clean overall. We saw the Forest Service truck come through a couple times each day just to check up on things. There was no camp host when we went. We had no issues with bears or anything rummaging through our site at night (though we did put everything in the bear box). There also wasn't much of an issue with noise, but that really just depends on how considerate the neighbors are that happen to be there when you are. And since there is no camp host on site, there would be nothing done about noise anyway. We hopped in our cars to drive just a few feet up the highway to access the Sand Pond & Lower Sardine Lake. They were nice, but the issue here is that while Salmon Creek Campground allows dogs, neither of these allow them. And since we didn't have anywhere we could keep our dogs, our visit to these spots was very brief. If you want to bring your dogs with you, you have to head up to Upper Sardine Lake. This is an OHV trail, so you need 4WD to drive up there. Your other option is hiking it, but it is a bit of a hike uphill...not a simple walk. With that said, my 7 year old made the hike both ways without issue, but it is rocky, so be careful. My hubby has a truck that could handle it, so we took that, but it was terrifying for me, as the width of the trail is only a few feet wider than the width of the truck and you're literally on the edge of this mountain cliff with no guard or anything. And if another vehicle comes, one of you have to back up till there's a wide enough space for passing. It was very nerve-wracking. So while we loved the campground, we have opted not to return mainly because we enjoy bringing our dogs with us camping & it just wasn't an ideal situation.
