our river camp is full of secluded nooks for sleeping out under the stars.
Campers and RV's are welcome at our Lotus campground. (Sorry, no hookups)
Do your thing in comfort with our individual showers and flush toilets!
THE BEST way to camp on the South Fork American River! We offer 4 person canvas tent rentals for a more “glamping” experience. These are all situated on a wood platform with a private deck. Cots, sleeping pads & chairs are provided.
Bring your own tent for closest camping to the river. Our parking areas are large with some shaded areas for RV's. There are no hook-ups, but you have use of our restroom and shower facilities during your stay.
For large groups we have a private riverside area located within the 40 acre Private Campground. This is the ideal camp area for groups who would like a secluded area. Great for family reunions, scout groups, healing adventures, corporate team building events and more!
Raft California’s large riverside campground is great for seasonal camping (April-September). Amenities include:
NO DOGS (OR ANY PETS) ALLOWED AT CAMP
We love animals, but please leave your pets at home. If you are in need of a place to leave your dog while you raft or camp with us at the South Fork American River Dogwoods Resort in Garden Valley is a great option, just be sure to book well in advance!

Open Fires – We usually have a ban on open flames (campfires, charcoal BBQ’s etc) in the peak summer months when California is especially susceptible to fires. We do not usually allow any campfires, charcoal BBQ’s or any open flame at camp. Propane cook stoves & BBQ’s are allowed, so we suggest you plan on bringing those if you are cooking at camp.
Pets – We love animals & pets, but there are no animals or pets allowed. This rule pertains to all rafting guests and overnight campers. Please make alternative plans for your pets while you are rafting or joining us for more than a day. This ensures the most pleasant experience for all our guests.
We launch trips on many different rivers in California, Oregon and Idaho. For questions give our main office a call – we would love to talk with you about our trips and rivers.
Our vision is to create a sustainable and equitable reality where our rivers are enjoyed and protected, a place where families and friends can be inspired and challenged.
