I think this is my favorite California State Park. It is situated in the Calaveras Big Trees Giant Sequoia Grove.
On the way back we stopped at Sutter Creek (an old mining town) and had locally made ice cream in Pine Grove.
wide variety of items, from keep sakes to any necessity you may have forgotten ( lighter, logs, clothes shoes, etc... ) There also boat rental
General: This is a HUGE RV park (a Sun Resort) with back-in, pull-through sites, and cabins.
You can tent camp (it's covered sites for camping too), rent a cabin or RV camp. Great sites along the river too.
The RV park and cabins are private so can only be accessed via membership or introductory offer.

first come first served overflow about a half mile by trail or road to the lake.Tthe lake has swimming fishing and pleasure boating with rentals
A little pricey for a tent site - 45.00 and 5.00 for the dog but it’s California.
ScoutWe had a great experience at the Placerville KOA. In this place, I can join many activities such as playing geometry dash lite .The staff was very welcoming and the grounds are organized and clean. The only thing I would suggest is to put in a few more bathrooms around the site. The main building are the only bathrooms. I would suggest a visit. They also have a pool area and hot tub Our friends stayed in the cabins. They were clean and comfortable
TravelerI wanted somewhere not too far to go and stay when my 5-6 year-old had 5 days off from school. This was perfect in so many ways.
Positives
- Amenities! I love how everything was themed, from the street names to the signs. Two nice playgrounds, ball courts, pool and hot tub. Watching your kids play red light/green light on the jumping pillow put a smile on every parent's face.
- Seasonal programming (weekends only). For October, we did an outdoor movie, magic pumpkins, costume contest, trick or treating, hay ride, and haunted house. My daughter loved everything except the haunted house, which she said was "too scary!"
- Clean, comfortable facilities. Lots of ways to stay. We car camped and found the hook ups really easy to use. Water, drain, 3 types of electricity, picnic table and firepit at every site. We used their bathrooms and showers and was impressed by how clean they were. Most of the time we had them completely to ourselves and they were even climate controlled.
- Restaurant. I cooked breakfast and lunch most days at the campsite, but for dinner we splashed out at the kid-friendly Waterfront Grille. Friendly staff, good food (lobster and prime rib, yum!), amazing views of the sunset.
Negatives
- Water park was closed. Call ahead to see if it is open when you want to go. I heard that it is never open because of some issue with permits or drought. If so, the promotional video is misleading and I almost deducted a star for this.
- Expensive. For camping, it is expensive, but think of it more as a theme park/resort, than true camping. We saved on the cabin and RV, and spent on the optional activities and the fancy meals.
Bottom line, I would totally go back and stay as long as I could. I hear it is super crowded in the summer, but it would be worth it if the water park is open.
TravelerWe stayed here on an off week. Almost had the place to ourselves except for the full timers. The amenities were not open...off season and/or COVID...but we went and took a look and got a thumbs up by our 7 year old daughter. The place looks great for a summer stay!
We used the spot to not be in the snow but make the trip up to Iron Mountain Sno-Park...a 45 minute drive. The snow looked great for skiing but not so much for snowmen or sledding. Wish we had snow shoes!
The next day it was rainy so we drove an hour to Sacramento to visit the zoo and old town. On the way back we stopped at Sutter Creek (an old mining town) and had locally made ice cream in Pine Grove. If you are looking for hipster coffee — Sutter Creek is the way to go!
On our last day we checked out and drove the trailer over to the Indian Grinding Rock State Park. Very few in the parking lot which allowed us to take up a bunch of spots...otherwise there would t have been parking for us. We did the southern trail nature hike and saw the grinding rocks. It’s a must see in our opinion.
On our way out we stopped at the local taco truck...advice from a local. They serve breakfast burritos all day. Get the chorizo. It is the most legit breakfast burrito you’ll ever get!
Bottom line — it’s a great spot to get around the area. We want to come back in the warmer months. Only issue was the internet was not working...and our T-Mobile phones didn’t have coverage in the area. That’s on us though. If you want cell service and reliable internet I don’t think you can hold the campground liable for that!
RangerCabin had bunk beds. Small refrigerator
GuideThere are 4 cabins that can be rented from the Park Service however, they are not actually in the park. They are across the highway and up in the hills. We drove to the park but it's only short distance.
The cabins are great but expensive, $170 per night, so I deducted a star. They are rustic. No TV, no air conditioning (just ceiling fans), no bedding or towels. You bring your own.
GuideIf you ever want to experience the thrill of gold panning, and California history go here!
You will not strike it rich, but with a couple hours of effort you can get a nice little bottle of gold flakes to take home with you.
Campground “resort” caters to the cabin and RV crowd. Very pleasant, with a cool old bridge to cross the river. If it’s hot outside, you need to be in the river!
Scoutmy husband and i have been going to this little cabin for years. its peaceful and lots of trails to hike.
ScoutFHU and Electric/water sites. Also has cabins, yurts, covered wagons you can rent. Has pool, playground and petting zoo. Well kept and easy to work with
