About Sierra Waters Homestead
This 85 acre parcel sits just west of Nevada City, CA with the Deer Creek on our southern border and the Tribute Trail along 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. Nevada City has great restaurants, bars, music and theater, as well as shopping and art galleries. Or take a walk along the trail and down to the bridge that crosses the Deer Creek to a loop trail with lovely creek 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 - 30 minute drive away, depending on which access you choose. 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. 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 hot water shower .

Private, great shower, restroom, and outdoor kitchen area. Hosts are responsive. Our two labs had the best time exploring the river, and we also had a great time on the nearby trails. Close to Nevada City, but secluded so it feels like you’re far away. Will be back!
Really nice bathrooms, shower, and place to cook. Super close to the yuba. A great walk along the Newtown ditch canal and deer Creek trail right from the campground.
What a great way to celebrate my birthday. We took two spots - one tent and one RV and as it turned out we had the place to ourselves! Lauren and Scott both stopped by to check in and we had a wonderful time. A quick walk to town for lunch and shopping and lots of quiet time on their special land.
It was a well maintained site. The owner had excellent communication, we enjoyed our stay.
Amazing and special place! I really enjoyed the site and the surrounding property was so beautiful. I was able to easily jump on the trail on my bike and loved the bathroom, shower, and cooking area. Great spot, I’ll definitely be back.
