Camp Coloma
6019 New River Rd, Coloma, CA
American River Resort sits on nearly 40 acres of oak forest along the South Fork of the American River in Coloma, in California's Gold Rush country. The resort has tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins along the riverfront, with group sites that can hold anywhere from 24 to 500 campers, plus a swimming pool, a catch-and-release fishing pond, hot showers, and a small camp store.
The property is also home to American Whitewater Expeditions and American River Recreation, two established outfitters running rapids trips on the South Fork, and several campsites sit close enough to the river to watch paddlers run the Trouble Maker rapid. It's an easy stop off Highway 49 near the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, with hiking and biking trails nearby for a break between rides.
