And unlike traditional camping, you don’t need to bring anything for your stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of the campsite itself is a main draw, with towering redwood forests, ocean views and an expansive meadow where you can play volleyball, bocce ball or do other camping activities.

Four of these tents are large enough for a big family, and even the smaller tents are “super family friendly,” Thiem said and can be outfitted with cots for additional kids if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044410\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044410\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown.jpg 1800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interior of a glamping tent that sleeps 4 people at Inn Town Campground in Nevada City. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Inn Town Campground)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The campground is also dog-friendly and features a swimming pool, outdoor movie screening area and communal kitchen and living room area, plus a camp store to pick up any extra food.

The campsite features around 60 tents, but it doesn’t feel crowded, Raffo said, as everyone has their own space and quiet hours help guests “relax into the experience,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their goal is to toe the line between the peace and quiet of a camping experience and the amenities of a resort — like a dry sauna, heated mattress pads, complimentary breakfast and high-touch customer service: “If you need hot cocoa at 11 o’clock at night, we’re going to go get you hot cocoa,” Raffo said. And unlike traditional camping, you don’t need to bring anything for your stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of the campsite itself is a main draw, with towering redwood forests, ocean views and an expansive meadow where you can play volleyball, bocce ball or do other camping activities.

Four of these tents are large enough for a big family, and even the smaller tents are “super family friendly,” Thiem said and can be outfitted with cots for additional kids if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044410\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044410\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown.jpg 1800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/Inntown-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interior of a glamping tent that sleeps 4 people at Inn Town Campground in Nevada City. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Inn Town Campground)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The campground is also dog-friendly and features a swimming pool, outdoor movie screening area and communal kitchen and living room area, plus a camp store to pick up any extra food.

Walbrun said the lowest confirmed snow was in Lake County at 1,300 feet, while hills around Livermore also had reports of the white stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Walbrun said he wouldn’t be surprised if they got reports of snow at lower elevations, though San Francisco itself shouldn’t be as hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s even harder to get it in the city just because it’s surrounded by water on all three sides,” Walbrun said. The only places in San Francisco with even the smallest potential for snow sightings would be Twin Peaks or Mount Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The places with a much higher likelihood of accumulation are going to be the peaks in other parts of the Bay Area. Mount Tam, Mount Saint Helena, Mount Diablo and even Skyline Boulevard in the Santa Cruz mountains could see some snow. The best times for the combination of cold and wet weather to bring snow would be between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be smart in the morning if there’s ice or snow,” Walbrun warned. “Delay your time because it won’t take much to cause accidents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a handy map from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> that highlights their Winter Weather Advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11723388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People took to social media to share photos and videos of the unusual Bay Area weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MarinSheriff/status/1092510391836467201\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chuckclifford/status/1092490797545472000\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/codeuncommenter/status/1092532867001798657\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we eagerly await snowy photos in our newsfeeds tonight, let’s take a wintery stroll through the history of notable Bay Area snowfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1962\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723418\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 573px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723418\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962.jpg 573w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/1962-160x112.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Children playing in the snow at Westmore High School. \u003ccite>(SAN FRANCISCO HISTORY CENTER, SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC LIBRARY)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1939\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11723427\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 449px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11723427\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"449\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572.jpg 449w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/AAB-8572-160x143.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fisherman’s Wharf after a snow fall.

Walbrun said the lowest confirmed snow was in Lake County at 1,300 feet, while hills around Livermore also had reports of the white stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Walbrun said he wouldn’t be surprised if they got reports of snow at lower elevations, though San Francisco itself shouldn’t be as hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s even harder to get it in the city just because it’s surrounded by water on all three sides,” Walbrun said. The only places in San Francisco with even the smallest potential for snow sightings would be Twin Peaks or Mount Davidson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The places with a much higher likelihood of accumulation are going to be the peaks in other parts of the Bay Area. Mount Tam, Mount Saint Helena, Mount Diablo and even Skyline Boulevard in the Santa Cruz mountains could see some snow. The best times for the combination of cold and wet weather to bring snow would be between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be smart in the morning if there’s ice or snow,” Walbrun warned. “Delay your time because it won’t take much to cause accidents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a handy map from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> that highlights their Winter Weather Advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11723388\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-800x600.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People took to social media to share photos and videos of the unusual Bay Area weather.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
