New Year, New Adventure: Why 2026 is the Year for Your Golden Retreat

Happy New Year from the banks of the South Fork American River! As we turn the page to 2026, there’s a crispness in the air and a sense of excitement at Coloma Resort. While the river flows quietly during these winter months, our team is already buzzing with preparations for what we expect to be our best season yet.

If you’re looking to make 2026 a year of connection, history, and outdoor adventure, now is the perfect time to start your planning.

The Early Bird Gets the Riverfront

There is a special kind of magic in having a vacation to look forward to. Whether you are a fan of our luxury Country Cottages or prefer the traditional feel of a tent under the stars, booking early is the only way to ensure you get your preferred dates.

Our holiday weekends and prime riverfront RV sites are the first to go. By securing your spot now, you can beat the spring rush and rest easy knowing your “home away from home” is waiting for you.
