Camping near Camino, California
Camino sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of El Dorado County, just east of Placerville along Highway 50. At roughly 3,200 feet of elevation, the town anchors the Apple Hill agricultural district, a cluster of more than fifty family farms, orchards, wineries, bakeshops, and Christmas tree groves spread along country roads between Placerville, Camino, and Pollock Pines. RV travelers use Camino as a base for two distinct experiences: orchard and farm visits in the Apple Hill belt, and South Fork American River recreation a short drive west in the Coloma and Lotus valleys.
Private RV options closest to town include Ghost Mountain RV Campground and Ponderosa RV Resort. A short drive down Highway 49 toward the river puts visitors at American River Resort, Coloma Resort, and Coloma Resort and RV Park, all within walking distance of Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. Public-land camping is available farther east in the Eldorado National Forest along the Highway 50 corridor.
Things to do near Camino
The Apple Hill loop is the headline activity in fall: a cluster of farms, bakeshops, wineries, berry farms, weekend craft fairs, hay-bale and corn mazes, pony rides, and Christmas tree groves spread along country roads between Placerville and Camino. Most apple farms run from Labor Day weekend through December, while wineries stay open year-round and berry and lavender farms operate in spring and summer. From spring through early fall, the South Fork of the American River draws rafters and tubers, with Class II and III water that suits first-time rafters, families, and group trips launched daily from Coloma and Lotus. Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park preserves the site where James Marshall found gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848 and offers a museum, riverside trails, and gold-panning demonstrations. Highway 50 and Highway 88 climb to Sierra hiking, swimming, and scenic drives within an hour.

Camino has a Mediterranean foothill climate with a clear wet-and-dry split. Winters are cool and wet, with most of the year's precipitation falling between November and March. Camino's elevation produces a wetter, cooler profile than Placerville just downhill, with light snow possible from late fall into early spring; heavier snow shows up east of town along Highway 50 toward Echo Summit.
Spring brings warming days, wildflowers, and the highest river flows. Rafting season on the South Fork generally runs from spring snowmelt into early fall, with dam releases keeping flows reliable through summer. July is the warmest month at Camino, with daily highs averaging in the mid-80s and cool nights, and afternoons can feel hot in the orchards. Fall is the peak window for visitors: cooler air, harvest activity at Apple Hill ranches, and the busiest weekends run from early September through late October. Wildfire smoke is an occasional summer and early-fall concern across the Sierra foothills.

Another great experience! This time for 16 days 😳. This was the second time we have rented this RV from Margo. She quickly responded to questions or concerns we had. We will rent from her again! 😊
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 a campsite near Camino
Private RV parks in the area take direct reservations through their own websites or by phone. American River Resort books through its own site and phone line, with roughly 15 full-hookup RV sites plus additional power-and-water sites, six cabins, and tent and glamping spaces, so rafting-season and fall weekends fill early. Coloma Resort and Coloma Resort and RV Park book online for cabins, full-hookup RV sites, and riverside tent spots, where riverside sites typically carry water and electric and off-river sites add sewer. Ghost Mountain RV Campground and Ponderosa RV Resort take direct bookings as well. For national-forest sites in the Eldorado National Forest east of town, reservations go through Recreation.gov, with some first-come-first-served loops. Apple Hill harvest weekends in October are the hardest dates to secure; book several months out.
What to expect on site
Sites in this corridor split into two styles. River-adjacent properties along the South Fork sit under oaks and pines with shaded pads and walking access to the water. RV sites at American River Resort are tucked between groves of oak trees on a rise above the river, with a mix of pull-forward, back-in, and drive-through layouts and a 35-foot maximum length. Foothill properties closer to Camino itself sit in mixed pine and oak at higher elevation, with cooler nights than the river canyon. Expect full hookups at most private parks, with 30-amp service common and 50-amp limited; verify the amperage and length your rig needs at booking. Cell coverage is generally usable along Highway 50 but spotty in canyons and on side roads. Bring leveling blocks for sloped foothill pads, mosquito protection near the river in spring, and bear-aware food storage anywhere east of Placerville.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Camino, CA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Camino, CA?
RV rental in Camino is more affordable than you might expect, especially compared to renting in big coastal cities. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Camino and Placerville area typically start around $125 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes run roughly $200 to $300 per night, and larger Class A rigs sit higher. Because hosts set their own pricing, you'll find weekly and multi-night discounts (often 10 to 20 percent) on many listings, which is great for a longer Apple Hill RV trip. To find a cheap RV rental in Camino, book midweek, travel in the shoulder seasons (April or early November), and use the price filter to compare side-by-side. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to lock in your dates fast during the September to October apple harvest rush.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Camino%2C%20CaliforniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Camino, California?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Camino. California does not require a special RV license or commercial driver's license (CDL) for non-commercial motorhomes and trailers under 40 feet, which covers the vast majority of rigs on RVezy. You'll need to be at least 25 years old to book on RVezy, and you'll confirm your ID right inside the platform during checkout, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association, usually under $20. Then it's just point your wheels toward Highway 50 and go.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and roadside help included for trips from Camino?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Camino includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can drive into the Sierra foothills with real peace of mind. You choose your protection level at checkout (Basic, Standard, or Premium), so you pick the deductible and coverage that feel right for your family, and roadside assistance is included with every plan. The protection plan covers eligible physical damage to the RV during your trip, giving you meaningful financial backup if something unexpected happens on Highway 50 or up at Sly Park. Pro tip: review the three coverage tiers before booking so you know your deductible, then relax, your RV camping in Camino is well looked after.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Camino RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the individual host) sets one cancellation policy for every rental in Camino, and there's a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in dates without second-guessing. After that window, refund eligibility depends on how far out you are from your trip start date. Because the policy is handled at the platform level, you won't see different cancellation rules from listing to listing. And if a host ever needs to cancel on you, RVezy will help you find a replacement rig or refund you in full (cash or RVezy credits), with no penalty to you. Pro tip: book early for Apple Hill harvest weekends and Tahoe summer trips, then keep an eye on Cal Fire and Caltrans alerts as your dates approach.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Camino?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Camino is easy to find on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings whose hosts welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Once you're here, your pup has plenty of room to roam: the Eldorado National Forest has miles of dog-friendly trails, the Pony Express Trail near Pollock Pines is a local favorite, and most Apple Hill orchards welcome leashed dogs in their outdoor areas. Sly Park Recreation Area at Jenkinson Lake also allows leashed pets in the campground, but note that pets are not allowed in the lake itself (it's a drinking water reservoir). Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any cleaning fee or pet rules, then pack a tie-out and an extra water bowl for warm afternoons.
eid.org/recreation/sly-park-recreation-area-spra-at-jenkinson-lakeCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Camino?
Yes, RV delivery in Camino is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you've never towed a trailer before. Many RVezy hosts in the Camino, Placerville, and Pollock Pines area will drive the RV directly to Sly Park Recreation Area, an Apple Hill rental site, or even a private cabin driveway, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts offering this service and their delivery radius, and check each listing for the per-mile fee or flat rate (most cover roughly 30 miles). Pro tip: ask for delivery to your campsite the morning of check-in so you maximize vacation time and skip the driving learning curve.
rvezy.com/rv-rentals/destination/united-states/californiaHow far can I drive on a typical Camino RV rental?
You've got plenty of range for a great Camino RV trip. Each host on RVezy sets their own mileage policy, and many include a generous daily allowance (often 100 to 150 free miles per day), with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage on longer bookings. From Camino, that's more than enough to reach South Lake Tahoe (about 60 miles east on US-50), Yosemite Valley (about 165 miles south), Sacramento (about 50 miles west), or even Lassen Volcanic National Park (about 200 miles north). RVezy's protection plan covers travel throughout the continental US and Canada, so cross-state trips are no problem (Mexico is excluded). Pro tip: estimate your full route before booking and compare two or three listings, you may find that paying a slightly higher nightly rate with unlimited miles is cheaper overall.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhere are the best campgrounds near Camino, CA?
You're spoiled for choice, the best campgrounds near Camino sit within a 45-minute drive and cover everything from lakeside to alpine. Sly Park Recreation Area at Jenkinson Lake (about 10 miles south) is the local favorite, with eight campgrounds totaling around 191 sites, vault and flush toilets, potable water, and swim beaches. Placerville KOA Holiday is just down Highway 50 with full hookups and pull-throughs. Silver Lake West Campground, run by EID along Highway 88, sits at high elevation for cool summer nights. China Flat and Sand Flat campgrounds along Highway 50 toward Tahoe are budget-friendly Forest Service options on Recreation.gov. Pro tip: Sly Park books up fast for summer weekends, reserve through the El Dorado Irrigation District site as soon as your dates are firm.
eid.org/recreation/sly-park-recreation-area-spra-at-jenkinson-lakeWhen is the best time to visit Camino in an RV?
Camino is genuinely a year-round destination, but the sweet spot is mid-April through early November. Spring brings wildflowers and 60s to low 70s, summer (June to August) is warm and dry with highs in the mid-80s to low 90s and cool 50-degree nights at 3,200 feet of elevation, and fall is the showstopper: September and October are Apple Hill season, with crisp air, harvest festivals, and dozens of ranches pouring fresh cider. Winter brings snow above 3,000 feet and is beautiful but requires chains on Highway 50 during R-2 controls. Pro tip: book your Apple Hill RV trip for a midweek visit in early October, you'll skip the weekend crowds and still hit peak harvest.
weather.gov/sto/I've never driven an RV before, will I be okay in Camino?
Yes, Camino is a friendly place for first time renting an RV. Highway 50 from Sacramento up to Camino is a wide, well-maintained four-lane corridor, and the local roads around Apple Hill are gentle two-lane country routes used by orchard traffic every day. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, propane, water, slide-outs, and dumping, and they're a text away during your trip. Nervous about driving? Pick a smaller Class B campervan or travel trailer, or book a host who offers RV delivery in Camino so you don't drive at all. Pro tip: do your first practice drive on Carson Road through Apple Hill before heading toward Tahoe, you'll get comfortable with the rig in low-stakes country traffic.
dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-3What happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking in Camino includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat on Pony Express Trail, a dead battery at Jenkinson Lake, or a lockout at the KOA, help is one phone call away. Your host is also your first call for anything quirky about their specific rig, and most are nearby in El Dorado County and respond within minutes. RVezy's customer support team is also available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number, your host's number, and the RVezy support line in your phone before you leave the driveway, and you'll never have to scramble.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Camino?
An RV road trip from Camino puts some of California's greatest hits within easy reach. Drive 60 miles east on US-50 to South Lake Tahoe for alpine beaches and emerald coves. Head about 165 miles south to Yosemite National Park via Highway 49 and 120, with classic Gold Country towns like Sutter Creek along the way. Loop north 175 miles to Lassen Volcanic National Park's bubbling mud pots, or roll west 165 miles to Point Reyes National Seashore for Pacific coast camping. Cross-border travel into Nevada (Reno is just 110 miles via I-80) is allowed on most rentals; Mexico travel is not permitted under RVezy's protection plan. Pro tip: a 7-day Tahoe to Yosemite loop from Camino is the perfect first-timer itinerary.
nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/index.htmWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas prices should I budget for in Camino?
Budgeting is straightforward once you know the numbers. Class B campervans get roughly 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes around 8 to 12 mpg, Class A rigs about 6 to 10 mpg, and trucks pulling travel trailers about 10 to 14 mpg. California gas prices run higher than the national average, expect roughly $4.50 to $5.25 per gallon at Camino-area stations on Carson Road and along Highway 50 in Placerville. Diesel is similar. For a 4-night Tahoe loop in a Class C covering about 300 miles, plan around $130 to $170 in fuel. Pro tip: fuel up in Placerville or Shingle Springs before climbing toward Tahoe, prices jump noticeably above 6,000 feet.
energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/transportation-energy/california-retail-fuel-outlet-annual-reportingHow far in advance should I book a campground near Camino?
Book early and you'll never lose sleep over it. Sly Park Recreation Area at Jenkinson Lake takes reservations up to 14 months in advance through the El Dorado Irrigation District, and summer weekends and Apple Hill weekends in October sell out fast. Eldorado National Forest campgrounds (China Flat, Silver Fork, Sand Flat, Pipi) are bookable up to 6 months ahead through Recreation.gov. State parks like Folsom Lake use ReserveCalifornia with a 6-month window. For private parks like Placerville KOA, 2 to 3 months ahead is usually plenty. Pro tip: if you strike out on a Friday or Saturday, grab Sunday through Thursday instead, midweek availability around Camino is excellent and rates drop too.
eid.org/recreation/spra-campsite-photos-and-reservationsWhat are the local driving conditions like around Camino?
Driving around Camino is mellow most of the year. Highway 50 is the main artery, four lanes, well-paved, and used to RV traffic. Local roads through Apple Hill (Carson Road, North Canyon, Larsen Drive) are narrow two-lane country lanes; take them slowly, especially on October weekends when orchard traffic is heavy. Above 4,000 feet toward Echo Summit and Tahoe, expect curves, 6 to 7 percent grades, and required tire chains from roughly November through April when Caltrans posts R-2 conditions. Summer thunderstorms can drop quick rain. Pro tip: check QuickMap from Caltrans the morning you drive, and never tow over Echo Summit in a winter storm without checking chain controls first.
quickmap.dot.ca.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds around Camino?
Local campgrounds cover the full spectrum, so you can match your rig to your comfort level. Sly Park has a mix of partial-hookup and dry sites plus a dump station, potable water fills, flush and vault toilets, and showers. Placerville KOA offers full hookups (30/50 amp), Wi-Fi, and laundry. Forest Service campgrounds in Eldorado National Forest (Silver Fork, China Flat, Capps Crossing) typically provide vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and potable water but no hookups, perfect if your rental has a generator and full freshwater tank. Pro tip: dump and refill freshwater at Sly Park or in Placerville before heading home, the timing makes the trip back smooth and your rig host-ready at return.
eid.org/recreation/sly-park-recreation-area-spra-at-jenkinson-lakeWhat features and amenities come standard in a Camino RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how complete these rigs are. A typical motorhome rental in Camino comes with a queen or king bed, sometimes bunks, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet, roof air conditioning, propane furnace, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a generator (great for dry camping in Eldorado National Forest), an outdoor awning, a TV, and Bluetooth stereo. Each RVezy listing shows exactly what is included plus optional add-ons. Cell signal in Camino is solid on Verizon and AT&T but spotty in canyons. Pro tip: ask the host about a starter kit (linens, kitchen basics, camp chairs) so you arrive at Sly Park with everything but the groceries.
rvezy.com/rv-rentals/motorhome/destination/united-states/californiaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
This is where you customize your trip. Most Camino-area RVezy hosts offer popular add-ons like generators, bike racks, kayak racks, propane fire pits, outdoor mats, BBQs, linen and kitchen kits, and pet packages, typically $10 to $50 each per trip. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Camino, Placerville, or Pollock Pines, with clear directions and a 60 to 90 minute walkthrough. Many offer RV delivery in Camino directly to Sly Park or Apple Hill rentals for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, some include 100 free miles per day, others offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for an upcharge. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen kit and you'll arrive to a fully made-up RV ready to enjoy.
rvezy.com/rv-rentals/destination/united-states/californiaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and entirely online. When you book your RV rental in Camino, RVezy charges your card for the rental total in scheduled installments (an initial payment at booking and the remainder before your trip starts), covering the nightly rate, fees, protection plan, and any add-ons. The host also places a refundable security deposit hold (typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the rig) close to your trip date, which is released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid any deposit issues, do a quick walk-around at pickup and again at return, take photos, and follow your agreement on dumping and refueling. Pro tip: keep gas and dump receipts on your phone, fast proof if any question comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Camino during winter for a snow trip?
Yes, and a winter rental in Camino is a genuine adventure. Camino sits at about 3,200 feet, so it gets light snow a few times each winter, while Sierra-at-Tahoe (about 30 miles east) and Echo Summit get serious powder. Filter for four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, and a propane furnace, then look for hosts who include snow chains and a generator. Many private parks like Placerville KOA stay open year-round with shore power so you don't risk frozen lines. You'll need chains on US-50 during R-2 controls. Pro tip: book a delivered, pre-set rig at a full-hookup park near Pollock Pines, then day-trip to ski Sierra-at-Tahoe, all the snow fun, none of the icy-driving stress.
