Scotts Flat Reservoir is 5 miles above Nevada City (actually, that's where
the turn-off is and it's about another 5 miles or so downhill from there)
and owned by P.G.&E.  My daughter and I camped there last year (when our van
broke down on way to Lake Tahoe in September and we were stuck there a
number of days waiting for repairs!).  They charge (or did then) $22 a night
for absolutely NOTHING as far as amenities - pay shower, no hook-ups, just a
plain ol campsite with a table.  Area is pretty, but, personally, I don't
think it's worth $22 a night.  Beautiful lake, though and surrounding area.
There aren't a lot of campgrounds around there, but there are a lot of
campgrounds further up Highway 20 towards Reno (forest service type, no
amenities).
