Sniffing out fresh info…
Just off Highway 49 in Coloma—Gold Country’s historic heart—American River Resort sits on the South Fork of the American River, mere steps from the famed Troublemaker Rapid and a short stroll to Marshall Gold Discovery State Park .
Spread across 30 acres of oak-studded riverfront, ARR offers something for every camping style. Choose from primitive tent sites hidden among the trees or riverside platform cabin tents, full-hookup RV pads, and deluxe air-conditioned cabins with private baths . Each spot includes a picnic table, fire pit, and easy river access.
On-site amenities make ARR a one-stop adventure base: take a dip in the in-ground pool, cast into the catch-and-release fishing pond, rinse off in free hot showers, or let kids loose on the playground . Whitewater rafting and tubing trips launch daily right from the resort, and guided excursions through Gold Rush history are just a phone call away .
Four-legged friends are welcome in campsites, RV sites, and platform tents (up to two pets per site), but not inside riverside cabins or near the pool—so be sure to leash them, clean up, and call ahead about pet fees and designated cabins .
Reservations fill fast—especially on summer weekends—so book online or call (530) 622-6700 to secure riverside bliss for your next family getaway, rafting adventure, or California Gold Country history lesson.
