As the leaves change along the South Fork of the American River, we at Coloma Resort feel immense gratitude for the memories made and the campers we’ve welcomed this year. We want to pause and sincerely thank you for choosing our riverside retreat as your home base for adventure. Your support ensures the rich history and natural beauty of this valley continue to thrive for all to enjoy.
Our Golden Legacy: Stay in a Piece of History
Did you know Coloma Resort is literally surrounded by history, adjacent to the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park? When you stay here, you’re not just camping; you’re sleeping where the California Gold Rush began in 1848. It is a profound, unique connection to the past that few places can offer. Our resort helps keep that important Gold Rush legacy alive for new generations of families.
The Best Fall Foliage Hikes Along the South Fork
The Sierra Nevada foothills offer spectacular autumn color, perfect for late-season fall camping near Sacramento. The historic trails, like the Monroe Ridge Trail or the new Gam Saan Trail, are alive with gold and crimson leaves right now. Enjoy crisp air and stunning views of the American River as you explore the history and natural beauty that surrounds your campsite.
A Sincere Thank You From the Coloma Family
We are a family-run resort dedicated to preserving the tranquil, historic spirit of Coloma for all who visit. Your bookings and participation in our community mean the world to us. It allows us to maintain our amenities and continue offering unique educational programs that connect visitors to the Gold Rush era. Your loyalty makes our golden season truly thankful.
Campfire Cocoa & Fall Fun: Our Famous Holiday Recipe
Nothing completes a cozy fall evening like a crackling campfire and a warm treat. Try our signature ’49er Campfire Cocoa’—just mix hot water with powdered hot chocolate, a dash of cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla. Top with mini marshmallows toasted golden brown over the flames. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the park.
