If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a few close friends or your family, this option is for you. Tucked in along the South Fork of the American River, this beautiful campsite features picnic benches, a propane fire pit with propane included (fire pits help prevent wildfires), and a prep table for fixing up those tasty fireside meals. Guests also have access to shared bathroom facilities (and yes, there are showers!), volleyball, ping pong, communal benches, a sink and dishwashing station, and a common swimming area along the river. Most sites are within a very short walking distance to the banks of the South Fork of the American River, this place is ideal for anyone interested in experiencing the beauty of the foothills and the rush of the river. We offer both tent and RV sites. Each RV site includes its own picnic table, water and (30Amp) power hookups. Guests will also have access to our volleyball court, ping pong, communal benches, and a common area with a sink and dishwashing station. Additionally, you can access the swim area and go for a dip to cool off on a hot day. If you're looking to steal some time away to reconnect and camp, this is the place for you. People of all ages can camp out, swim, and play. We offer toilets, showers, trash disposal, potable water and more depending on the site you chose. Pets are allowed as well. Enjoy biking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, paddling, climbing, swimming, whitewater rafting, and wildlife watching all nearby, or on site.

Moe RV Site

Beuatiful property, great amenities

This property is a gem! Our camping site was very comfortable and I specially appreciated the shade. The amenities made everything very east and comfortable. Nice bathrooms and showers. Our kids loved going to the river, only a 5 min walk from our camping spot. Highly recommended. We'll be back

Hilltop Tent Site

This was a wonderful campsite, with many nice shaded places for tents, covered picnic benches, propane fire pit and wash basin. There was ample parking right next to the site and easy access to the river, bathrooms and showers. Really loved our stay here!

Riverside Tent Site

The river site is absolutely wonderful. Quite private but the open to all river spot is right in the other side of some bushes. You will hear noise and you will have to share river beach with people, but I didn’t have any issues other than just a lot of noise. I loved meeting Kris and being able to share how much I love hipcamping. I loved being able to walk from my site to the river to get in over and over again. I took morning cold plunges and a late night swim because it stayed light until after 9. The propane firepit was perfect for after the swims. The campground was extremely loud though with campers yelling and making about of noise way past midnight. Quiet hours were not respected. That is my only issue. Lack of consideration for others peace. Besides that, this was an amazing spot and I hope to return
