The Placer County (Calif.) Planning Commission approved a proposal to redevelop the Placer County portion of the Cisco Grove Campground into a resort-style camping and RV destination. The project, proposed by Sun NG Cisco Grove RV Inc., would modernize the campground off Interstate 80 near the unincorporated community of Cisco Grove while maintaining its 144 existing campsites, according to the Sierra Sun.
Planned upgrades include a renovated general store and welcome center, a new swimming pool, a snow tubing hill with a pavilion, a miniature golf course, pickleball courts, a crafts pavilion, a paddle boat dock and additional family-oriented recreation amenities.
However, at Placer County’s Nov. 13 public meeting, neighbor Wesley Hotchkiss raised concerns about wildfire danger, the potential effect on homeowners’ insurance premiums and the possibility of long-term occupancy.
Ezekiel Bossenbroek, property manager for Sun NG Cisco Grove RV Inc., said the project complies with all fire codes and that the company participates in Firewise programs to reduce wildfire risk. He said campground staff will work to ensure no fire is left unattended.
