About

Camp Lotus is a 23-acre riverside campground and lodge located along the South Fork American River in Lotus Valley, California, just an hour from Sacramento and two hours from the Bay Area. The property offers a perfect blend of outdoor immersion and modern comforts, featuring green shaded tent campsites, RV hookups, and climate-controlled cabins alongside amenities like hot showers, an espresso bar, and freshly baked goods. The camp serves as a basecamp for whitewater rafting, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, while also offering relaxation under shade trees and access to nearby wine tasting, Gold Discovery Park, and over 100 miles of equestrian, biking, and hiking trails in the Sierra foothills. Guests can enjoy 500+ feet of riverfront with multiple beaches and coves, recreational activities including ping pong and volleyball, and a full deli and store stocked with camping supplies and local wines and beers.
