Camping & Accommodations
on the American River
Exclusive for our Mother Lode Guests
Riverside Camping Starting at $20 a night!
Canvas Cabin Tents & Cots
Built on raised deck platforms, our sturdy canvas cabin tents are spacious enough to walk around in and can comfortably sleep up to 8 people on bunk style cots.
The facility was great – casual enough so everyone could run around and play freely, yet comfortable too. Flush toilets, hot-water showers, tent cabins with wooden floors off the dirt, cots all set up: the most luxurious ‘camping’ I’ve ever done!
Dome Tents
Relax under the stars and let the sound of the river lull you to sleep.
Enjoy every night you stay here at Mother Lode River Center. No tent?? Not a problem! Rent one from our handy camp store!
Bring your own tent or rent dome tents of various sizes that accommodate up to 6 people each.
Upon request, we’ll set them up for you prior to your arrival.
I can’t say enough about this rafting company…
They have a beautiful location right on the American River with large grassy areas to camp on.
It’s luxury, we had the privilege to stay in the largest tent cabin for a night and it was the most comfortable “camping” night I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back next year.”
Whether you prefer our canvas cabin platform tent accommodations, our yurt, or enjoying the great outdoors from the cozy confines of your own tent, you will always remember your visit to Mother Lode River Center.
Our 20-acre riverside camp is intended to provide an ambiance and charm that will make a lasting impression. We are located 60 mins east of Sacramento along the American River.
Explore gold country at camp and in the Coloma valley!
