Our Private Riverside campground is one of the best on the river!
Situated along the banks of the South Fork American River, our campground offers the ideal combination of excitement and comfort for our rafting guests. With over 35 years of focused efforts on five select rivers, we’ve developed some of California’s finest facilities for your enjoyment. Our secluded 20-acre wilderness site, situated near Coloma, provides exclusive access to the riverbank, ensuring a private and serene experience reserved solely for our guests.
Tent Camping
The majority of our campground hosts tent camping sites. These sites are not like a traditional campground, but segmented by the natural landscape of our camp, and each include a fire ring, picnic table, and view of the river. The cost of camping is $15 per person per night.
Our Deluxe Cabin Tents
Prefer not to rough it on a ground mat? No problem! Our campground offers six Deluxe Cabin Tents – spacious canvas tents perched on raised platforms, overlooking the river while accommodating up to five guests. Each tent features one queen bed with a mattress and three single wooden beds with sleeping pads, ensuring a comfortable night’s rest. Complete with a picnic table and fire ring, these tents offer both convenience and charm. These tents rent for $80 per night, plus a $15 camping fee per person for those without a multi-day trip already booked.
