Experience the Holidays in Gold Country

From Thanksgiving through New Year's, Grass Valley RV Resort is ready for you in the Sierra Nevada foothills. You'll find 148 paved full-hookup sites, a heated pool and spa, heated showers, and a lodge to welcome you in from the cold.

Staying home is easy. It's also familiar, and sometimes familiar is the problem. A holiday trip gives you a change of scenery, more time with the people you came with, and a quiet corner of Gold Country to enjoy it all. No hosting. No cleaning up before company arrives.

Highlights

  • 148 paved full-hookup sites
  • Heated pool, spa, and showers
  • Fireside lounges and a 4,500 sq ft lodge with The Market
  • About 3 miles to downtown Grass Valley

Winter comfort, built in

Cold weather doesn't have to keep you inside. Here's what makes a winter stay easier at the resort.

  • Heated pool and spa for a warm soak, even when it's chilly out
  • Heated showers so cold mornings feel a lot less cold
  • Fireside lounges for slow evenings and good company
  • Free WiFi to stream a holiday movie or video call the family
  • The Market in our 4,500 sq ft lodge for snacks, essentials, and local favorites

Fresh air between meals

There's still plenty to do once the turkey is gone. Pickleball and bocce courts are on site, and the dog parks keep four-legged travelers happy.

Pets are welcome.

Close to historic Gold Country towns

Grass Valley is about 3 miles away and Nevada City is about 7. Both have beautifully preserved Victorian downtowns that are worth a wander.

Holiday traditions in downtown Grass Valley

Grass Valley knows how to do the holidays. Two annual favorites are a short drive from the resort.

Community Tree Lighting. The official kickoff to the season. Expect live music from the Cornish Carol Choir, festive treats, and a visit from Santa just before the tree lights up.

Cornish Christmas. On Friday nights from late November through mid-December, downtown turns into a Victorian-era winter marketplace. Strollers and vendors dress in period costume. There are roasted chestnuts, hot cider, street musicians, and Santa too. A free shuttle helps with parking.

The season also tends to bring holiday tours at historic sites, indoor art nights, and winter outdoor events around the area. Dates and details change every year, so check Downtown Grass Valley before you go, or see our events page.
