RV Park

Overview

You know that you've struck gold when you discover the Placerville KOA!

The Placerville KOA Campground is located in the foothills between the Sacramento Valley and the gorgeous Sierra Nevada Mountains of Lake Tahoe.  It's a terrific launching pad for trips to California's Gold Country, the American River, Apple Hill, Old Town Sacramento, and Red Hawk Casino.

Join in movie nights, with free popcorn and other goodies, in support of KOA Care Camps (most Fri/Sat's). Enjoy the new arcade, giant tent with free Ping-Pong and foosball and hand-dipped ice cream. Stop by to pamper the adorable miniature goats. Enjoy the new large dog park for your four-legged buddies! Pool: May 1 - September 30. Max pull thru: 121 feet.

Such a great experience! Clean, so many amenities (pool, playground, fishing pond, mini golf, ping pong, foosball, ample showers, laundry room, arcade, activity tent, lots of scheduled family activities like movie night and fun rides, and more!). Location is conveniently right off the highway, but is very quiet. The staff are awesomely hardworking and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

Lovely place! Enjoyed some the amenities. Super cute and fun 18 mini golf, an adorable goat you can pet and feed an apple slice to, which I definitely want to bring on our next trip! The dog park is nicely grassed and shaded, perfect for catching ball or chasing a new dog. We didn’t bring any fishing gear but thinking this might be a quiet place to learn to cast a line. And definitely want to catch the arcade next time. The pool we loved! It was amongst a necessity with the over 100 temps. Well maintained, perfect temperature water, chairs and loungers. Staff was actively maintaining the entire property. We didn’t get to catch the movie, but they setup the pool area with popcorn on Saturday night. It definitely was giving small hometown vibes and definitely something awesome they offer. Sunday morning we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful locally made donuts with coffee! Our time was mostly spent in our camper simply due to the heat. It was just miserable outside. But we spent several hours at the pool and it was great that way! I do wish there was more shade. Our site was mostly sun with the exception of a few hours mid day. They do have more shaded sites farther back. Thanks for a great time for our ‘First-run’ with our brand new camper! We’ll be back for sure.

This resort has all the amenities for a fun family trip. The trailer spots are quite large. Campgrounds are nice, and cabins are great. So many things for the kids to do. Miniature golf, arcade, pool, hot tub, event center fun has free games, lego table, giant connect 4, and movie nights on Friday and Saturday nights. Fun things that the staff put together like make your own colored popcorn, and scavenger hunts with a prize. Highly recommend and don't forget your free chocolate chip cookies when you check in 👍👍 Placerville, Red Hawk Casino, the Gold Bug mine/park area are just down the road.

We absolutely loved this place! Our family had an amazing time, and it was one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had. There’s something for everyone: fishing, feeding the friendly goat, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, family movie nights, board games, and a great playground. Our children especially loved the little train that regularly takes kids around the campground. The location is ideal—close to town while still feeling like a true outdoor getaway. The on-site store is well stocked with nearly everything you might need, and the campground offers clean showers, laundry facilities, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. We stayed both in a tent and in one of the cabins. The cabins are comfortable and include useful amenities such as a refrigerator, air conditioning, a microwave, and a TV. The owner clearly cares about guests’ comfort, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back and would gladly recommend this place to friends and family!
