Campgrounds near Cameron Park
Cameron Park sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of El Dorado County, on the Highway 50 corridor between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe. The area gives RV travellers quick access to Folsom Lake, the South Fork of the American River, and the Gold Country towns of Placerville and Coloma. Most camping options are within a thirty-minute drive of town.
The closest developed RV camping is at Placerville RV Resort & Campground and Ponderosa RV Resort, both on the Highway 50 side of the foothills. For lake-based camping, the Peninsula campground inside Folsom Lake State Recreation Area is a short drive west, with shoreline sites between the North and South Forks of the American River. River-trip campers usually base at Camp Lotus in the Coloma-Lotus valley, which sits directly on the South Fork. Ascension Ranch offers a more off-grid, ranch-style stay nearby. Together these properties cover full-hookup RV needs, family lake camping, and rafting basecamps.
Things to do near Cameron Park
Folsom Lake is the main draw for water activity. The reservoir covers roughly 11,500 acres and supports boating, water-skiing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing for trout, bass, catfish, and perch. The recreation area has more than 95 miles of trails open to hikers, cyclists, runners, and horseback riders. Lake Natoma, downstream of Folsom Dam, is limited to low-speed and non-motorized boating, which makes it a calmer option for paddlers. The South Fork of the American River, running through Lotus and Coloma, is one of the busiest whitewater rafting stretches in California, with Class II and III runs suitable for families. Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma covers the site where gold was first found, and downtown Placerville has walkable Gold Rush history.

Summers in the foothills are hot, dry, and mostly clear, with daytime highs commonly in the high 80s to mid 90s Fahrenheit and very little rain from June through August. This is peak season for Folsom Lake and the South Fork American River, and weekends fill quickly. Reservation demand at Folsom Lake state campgrounds is heaviest from April through September.
Spring brings green hillsides, blooming oaks, and wildflowers, along with the strongest river flows for rafting once releases begin. Lake levels are typically highest in late spring. Fall cools off quickly after mid-October, water temperatures drop, and crowds thin, making weekday lake trips easier to book.
Winters are cool and wet, with most of the annual rainfall arriving between November and March. The Peninsula unit at Folsom Lake is closed each year from October 1 through March 31, and access roads through the foothills can be affected by storms. Beals Point inside the same park stays open year-round.

Brandi C. - May 2025
This is our first family trip in an RV. It was a long trip but we all had a great time along the way. The RV was very clean and spacious. It was perfect for our family. Renting through RVezy was very easy and Margo and her husband just made it so much easier for us. They were friendly and very attentive. We've texted along the way with questions we had and they were answered so quickly. Thank you so much for making our first trip extra special.

How to book near Cameron Park
Campgrounds inside Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, including the Peninsula unit, are booked through ReserveCalifornia online or by calling 1-800-444-7275. Sites are released six months in advance on a rolling daily window at 8 a.m. Pacific Time, and summer weekends often clear out within minutes of release. Any sites not reserved are sold first-come, first-served. Camp Lotus takes reservations directly through its own office or website and is best booked well ahead for rafting season weekends. Private parks such as Placerville RV Resort & Campground and Ponderosa RV Resort handle bookings on their own sites or by phone, and tend to have more midweek availability. For Ascension Ranch, reservations are made through the host directly.
What to expect near Cameron Park
Expect a mix of developed RV parks, a large state recreation area, and smaller riverside camps. Hookups vary: Placerville RV Resort & Campground and Ponderosa RV Resort offer full RV services, while Peninsula at Folsom Lake has piped drinking water and a sanitation dump station but no site hookups, and is rated for trailers up to about 18 feet and motorhomes up to 24 feet on narrow, winding access roads. Camp Lotus has RV sites with potable water, electricity, and a dump station, plus grassy tent sites on the South Fork. Cell service is reliable in Cameron Park and along Highway 50, but spotty at Peninsula and along Rattlesnake Bar Road. Summer days are hot and dry, so shade and water storage matter. Standard food storage practices apply at all sites.

Summer brings wildfire smoke or high temps, so check Caltrans road conditions before setting out.
