Jamie was a great host, friendly and accommodating. The site matched the description, and the directions were easy to follow. Jamie provided a handy carpet right by the RV side. Very good option for a straight forward, laid back stay around Nevada City.
Camp Tillicum is great and Jaime was a wonderful host. We'll come back!
Great private camping area for the group. Jaime’s place is definitely eccentric but in a very fun way! Definitely will stay there again!
Our family had a great weekend tent camping at Camp Tillicum. Jaime was a very accommodating and friendly host who really wants her guests to have a great stay.
Camp Tillicum was a very fun and private getaway for us and our 3 dogs. Jaime was very helpful, nice and accommodating. And her dog Kane is very friendly. There are a few improvements needed that are “in the works”, such as a functioning toilet and overall clean up/organization of the camp. There are a total of 3 spots at the camp quite close together. Had we not been the only ones there, I think we would have felt a lack of privacy and not been as happy as we were. All in all, I would recommend Camp Tillicum. The location is great very close to the South Yuba River, fabulous swim holes …
Had a great time staying at the backyard. Read the description so you know what to expect!
