Located just outside of Coloma, in the heart of California's gold rush territory, our campsite at the American River resort combines a rustic outdoor setting with the comfort ammenities of a well kept resort.

The American River resort has full bathroom and shower facilities, a regularly stocked fishing pool, full banquet facilities and swimming pool. And the setting can't get any better, located on the upper South Fork of the American River, minutes from Marshall Gold Discovery Park with a view from camp of the class III rapid Troublemaker, where campers can watch adventurors like themselves brave the thunderous whitewater rapid in boats and kayaks.

Guests in our camp can enjoy a tree-shaded camping area with picnic tables and a fire ring for nightime campfires, as well as fine meals prepared by our guides right in camp. For our guests that would rather sleep in a nice bed...ask us about the several local Bed and Breakfasts. Call our reservation ofice today to book your trip, camping, or event needs. Our staff will help make all the arrangements necessary for you to enjoy your trip.
