Coloma Resort

Dustin Curley

We’ve made this the annual trip for my wife’s birthday at the end of March. It’s a nice weekend away, when we have nothing to do, no other obligations. There is a bunch of history in the area including the gold rush and a couple short hikes. Weather in Spring can be unpredictable, and the river is moving very fast. Watch your kids. The park is clean, well maintained and staff is friendly.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, almost every year for the gold rush reenactment. They have done lots of work, some is good, and some, not so much. I guess the old store burned down, which is shame because the new store has none of the charm, and about a tenth of items, as the old store. There used to be way more little nicknacks and kitchy camping gifts and things. They also got rid of the chicken coop and the little old west town. All the old facades of blacksmith shop, banks and hotels are gone. Not a single place to take corny old times photos and that's a shame. On the positive side, they have expanded a lot! Where a ropes course used to be they now have all sorts of lodging options. There are little cabins, glamping tents, bunk houses, a full cottage with deck, tent spots, rv spots and even two covered wagons. It is not cheap, but they have really cleaned up the property and we saw the crew cleaning leafs and taking trash constantly. It's right in Coloma on the American River, so you really can't be the location. It will get cold in the winter, but that doesn't stop people from rafting.

First time visiting and will definitely be coming back. We had space 98 and it was nice spot but backing in took several attempts as not a lot of room but once in all good. We have 38’ 5th wheel and that’s the only reason it was a little more difficult with space. Smaller trailers were able to back in first attempt.

It's a family tradition now to go there every year. We book the camping spot each year right after we leave there. It's very family friendly with a lot of camping activities and good facilities. The restrooms and shower rooms are clean and spacious. It's right next to the American River with a good view and convenient to arrange a day trip on the water for rafting. The store is lovely and it carries almost everything you need for camping. Their souvenirs are cute too. You can even buy a small bottle of gold for kids :)

We booked a site for 5 nights, it was a river side spot. It was such a beautiful view and a private trail down to the river. On our first night, when I was returning from the bathroom I saw a cockroach near our tent. We got out our flashlights and found 4 more climbing on our tent and then saw hundreds more (might be overestimate but that's what it looked like) running up and down the hill just outside our tent. We killed a few and then decided to go to bed and try not to think about it. The next morning we mentioned it to a staff member and they didn't seem surprised. So, we decided we would try to deal with it ourselves. When the sunset we got out our roach killer and begin to put a barrier around our site but that didn't stop them, so we started spraying them, but they kept coming out of nowhere. We eventually ran out of roach killer and it didn't seem to do anything so we went to bed. The next morning we asked to move to a bunk house due to concern of the roaches getting into our stuff. The staff were more than helpful with the switch but still were not surprised about the cockroach issues. Then, I went to use the shower down from our bunk and when I left the shower (it was evening) there were roaches outside and in the grass, around the outside of all the bunk houses in our area as well. If it were not for the roach issue I would rate this place 5 stars, it's clean (besides the roaches at night), the staff were all nice and helpful, and the river was great. I would return here if they got ride of the cockroach issue!

Beautiful place on the American River. Close to fun activities in the historical mining town of Lotus. The owners are amazing and accommodate needs like a small business, not like a commercially owned property. They are friendly and welcoming & will definitely be back. Especially for those views!

Fun place for camping that is surrounded by nearby historical history of the gold discovery, nearby hiking trails, river rafting, and even wine & beer tasting. Summer highlight is the river rafting and is very busy. The campground hosts many activities during the summer.

Very nice and quiet resort. Walking distance from California historic Coloma. The staff was very friendly.

This place is great! River sites don't have sewage but do have power and water. So beautiful especially in the morning with the fog.

Nice, friendly and the scene was breath taking along the American River.The park is well kept. We will go back again.
