We found the staff to be very pleasant. The facilities were well kept. The full hookup sites were a little cramped, but the river front sites were better (partial hookups). The river is the main attraction, with tubing and whitewater rafting available. We'll be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has something for everyone. Owner, staff go out of their way to accommodate and make you feel welcome and important. Lots and lots of improvements, renovations going on with very little disruption. Very family oriented with spectacular views. We will return a lot! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. The best sites are along the river, but are only water and electric hook up, no sewer. We camped here in the off-season and understand it gets very full in the summer, but it was beautiful when we stayed here. The park is very kid-friendly with lots of things to keep them occupied. Staff is very friendly. Sites are open with not much privacy, but there weren't many campers when we were there, so no big deal. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Fall is the best time to be in Coloma. We have been here a lot over the years and we love it. It is a little pricey but well worth it once you are settled in. Keep in mind, they charge 6-10 dollars for parties over 2 people. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The staff is always friendly and there is plenty for the kids to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wonderful park for everyone. The staff is excellent and helpful. Resort is very clean. We found this resort last year and have been back six times already. We camped here in a Tent.

Nice spots most back up to river. Sites are dirt but mostly level, some are tight to get into around trees. Power and water are close to the road so, I needed an extension cord to reach. None of the spots on the river have sewer hookups, they do have a dump station. Staff was friendly, but they close the gate when you come in and they charge for everything (pets, guests, extra cars, ect.). Would stay there again for the views of the river. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fantastic setting, but we were a family of 6 and were charged $4 a night for children 1 & 2 and $10 a night for children 3 & 4 which doubled the cost, which is a real shame as the staff were friendly, the site was great if a little dusty, and the place is definitely worth a visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here over 4th of July - A little rustic, but you can't go wrong with the river front sites. Lots of amenities too. Nicely maintained, even over a busy weekend. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park definitely has its' pluses and minuses. First the pluses. Beautiful setting. Most sites are right on the shore of the American River. We fished, panned for gold, shot the pellet gun, fed the fowl, built a campfire, checked out Sutters Mill (which is just a short walk away). Everyone had a great time. Now for minuses. They charged me $4 a nite per child, running the one nite total to $42 during the off season. I despise it when parks charge for children, pets, visitors, toads, and long rigs. Second minus is that the road and sites are pretty crude. There is a nice grassy area down by the river, but there was a lot of goose droppings in it. I'd give it a 9 or 10 if it weren't for the "greedy" extra fees and the roads and grounds being so crude. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a fabulous campground. We camped here in April 2004. We recommend you do what we did. Choose a riverfront site even though the hook-ups are only water and electric there. It's worth it! (You can get full hook-ups up and away from the river.) The view was fantastic. We stayed in site #57 and all I can say is WOW! It was twice as long and twice as wide as any campsite we've ever stayed in. We were able to park our tow vehicle side by side next to our trailer with plenty of room to spare. But we did notice that none of the other sites were as wide as ours, though many were as long. Be aware that the campground is basically all dirt with some lawn areas here and there and many many trees - very rural. There's a pool, but it hadn't opened yet for the season when we were there. There's also a small playground which our seven year old enjoyed. Tenters and RVers camp right next to each other. There were also a number of tent cabins there. They were unoccupied when we were there, but I peeked in one and saw that it was just a bunch of bunk beds, so I expect that they are for camping groups, which could mean major crowds. I know they do host many school groups, as Coloma is home to Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park and LOTS of children come there. In fact, half of the campground was closed off while we were there due to school science camps. The bathrooms were disappointing. Not what I'd call clean, but they were serviceable. But in my opinion, the park was wonderful enough that I was willing to put up with the bathroooms. We could get everywhere by walking. By walking out the front entrance of the campground and crossing over the one-lane bridge, you're smack in the middle of the state park - a quarter mile walk at most. By walking down along the river bank and going underneath that one-lane bridge, you can come to a gravel beach where you can pan for gold. I don't think we've enjoyed ourselves more at any place we've camped, due to the sheer beauty of the location. But if you're looking for concrete pads and absolute cleanliness, this is not the place. We would definitely come back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great location on the American river- only 8 miles off of US 50. On the plus side- The facilities were clean and well managed. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a large grassy area away from the campsites to run your dog. On the negative side- the park was a little dusty- a bit more grass would have been nice. Some sites had low-hanging trees that were in need of trimming. All things considered- we will be back! We camped here in a camper.

On the American River, South Fork, off Hwy 49 in Coloma CA (40 miles east of Sacramento). Old mining town from the gold rush days. Lots to see and do. River rafting is a big draw. Large clean, shaded sites, with an adequate store in town (walking distance). Very friendly staff. Old one-way bridge crosses the river to get to the resort. 35 ft. RV may be the limit. I highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a camper.
