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.

The rapids are great for river tubing if you start at the grassy area near the top of the system, and there's a small trail that runs alongside the river if you love taking a run or walk sometime during the day. The campsites are a little close together, but they're nice! I've been there a few times and for sure, there's a few things I'd recommend: bring a canopy for the wasps and a small fan because it can get a bit warm at night! I thing one of the more interesting things to do is panning for gold and looking for deer. We've seen quite a few deer which is always so cool. On the campsite itself there's a pool and even ice cream socials on Thursdays. We always have a really good time at this park. I'd highly recommend it! - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
