PHILOSOPHY

A golden stone glittered in the sun, and the history of the West, the lives of millions and the economy of the world was changed forever. Coloma began with the discovery of gold in 1848, which started the greatest tidal wave of human migration ever known-the California gold rush!

Coloma’s greatest natural resource was once gold. Now it is the natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities that make Coloma and Coloma Resort a rich and rewarding stay for visitors.

Coloma Resort, located in the heart of Gold Country on the banks of the American River, combines the best of scenic, historic and sporting resources. Adjacent to the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, Coloma Resort provides nearly one mile of river frontage camping along the south fork of the American River, with over 100 hook-up sites!

We strive to preserve the natural and primitive beauty of the area while providing a resort atmosphere and amenities that will please tent, trailer, and motor home campers alike. We also offer on-site RV rentals, bunkhouses, cabins and tent cabins. Catering is available for group events such as school outings, business retreats, church workshops or family reunions.
