Listings use the city recorded for each campground in the official Recreation Information Database (RIDB) — a campground listed here is in or near Nevada City, which is why this page says "in or near."
Pick a campground above and set a free watch on it. We scan the official Recreation.gov calendar around the clock; the second a site matching your dates and equipment opens, you get a text with a direct link to that exact site. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the normal price. We never book, hold, or resell anything — monitoring is all we do, and it's what your fee pays for.
