About Mother Lode River Center
Your adventure base camp
for over 30 years!
Our Mission is to share our love of rivers and other wild places with you, and in the process to further their appreciation and preservation.
The Location
If your desire is outdoor recreation in nature's playground, the beautiful Sierra Nevada, the Mother Lode River Center is the ideal place to establish your base camp. Located on the South Fork of the American River our camp is just a convenient 50-minute drive east from Sacramento on scenic Highway 49. From here it is easy to access the entire watershed of the Mother Lode Country for adventure sports such as rafting, kayaking, hiking or rock-climbing.
The Setting
Our large riverside camp is intended to provide ambience and charm that will make a lasting impression. The landscaping of the camp harmonizes with Nature. Indigenous river stone pathways and wooden bridges allow convenient access. Camping areas vary in size from the small and intimate, to larger more open areas to accommodate the varying sizes and desires of groups. Everywhere the lush green of a cool, comforting carpet of grass pleases the eyes and complements the shade provided by towering heritage oaks. Modern restroom and shower facilities and sophisticated outdoor kitchens provide creature comforts. A relaxing, natural atmosphere is made easier by the fact that this is a private camp not available to the general public.
