The Nelson City Campground offers visitors access to a forested, natural environment in an urban setting. Located on High Street, just east of downtown Nelson, the campground is centrally located and within walking distance to shopping, parks, and the beach.

The campground now offers bags of cubed ice for sale. Anyone can purchase ice; you do not need to be a guest in the campground.

The campground offers 7 full-service sites; 20 sites with electrical hookup; 20 tent sites; and 4 sites for RV units up to 40 feet in length. 

We offer a convenient on-site sani dump station—locals and guests are welcome to use it during office hours.
