Campgrounds near Foresthill overview
Foresthill sits on a ridge above the American River canyon in Placer County, putting RV travelers within a short drive of both river-canyon camping and Sierra foothill reservoirs. The area combines state, federal, and privately operated campgrounds, so reservation systems and amenities vary site to site. Auburn State Recreation Area stretches along the North and Middle Forks of the American River from Auburn to Colfax, with main access from Auburn on Highway 49 or the Auburn-Foresthill Road. Mineral Bar - Auburn State Recreational Area provides developed canyon-floor sites with river access. Closer to Colfax, Rollins Lake anchors a cluster of full-service RV resorts including Long Ravine Resort, Orchard Springs Resort, and Peninsula Camping and Boating Resort, all sharing a 13-mile shoreline where the two large fingers of the lake suit water skiing and the calm coves suit fishing. Long Ravine Resort sits less than 10 minutes off Interstate 80 at an elevation of 2,300 feet, just below the snow line. Dutch Flat RV Resort offers another full-hookup option further up the I-80 corridor near Gold Run.
Things to do near Foresthill
The American River is the centerpiece. Auburn State Recreation Area supports hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, mountain biking, gold panning, equestrian trails, and off-highway motorcycle riding, with Class II, III, and IV runs on both forks and over 30 licensed outfitters running guided whitewater trips. Rollins Lake adds flatwater options: water skiing along its two long fingers, paddling and fishing in the calm coves, and regularly stocked rainbow trout alongside bass, German brown, catfish, crappie, perch, and bluegill. Resort campgrounds on the lake, including Long Ravine Resort and Orchard Springs Resort, operate launch ramps for boat access. From Foresthill, drivers can continue up the Foresthill Divide for higher-elevation hiking and reservoir fishing in Tahoe National Forest.

The Foresthill area runs a clear seasonal cycle. Peninsula Camping and Boating Resort is open during the spring and summer seasons, with reservations beginning in January. Long Ravine Resort and Orchard Springs Resort operate year-round but see most of their traffic from late spring through early fall, when the marina, store, and lake services run at full capacity. Higher elevations along the Foresthill Divide follow a Memorial Day to Labor Day primary season, depending on snowpack.
Fire restrictions are a real planning factor. Burn bans can be put in place at any time due to hot, dry weather, PSPS events, power outages, or poor air quality, and during these bans campfires and charcoal fires are not allowed; in extreme conditions even propane use may be restricted. Seasonal burn bans can begin as early as May and often last through November or beyond. Within Auburn State Recreation Area, river-trail camping permits are available for those rafting the American River only from October 16 to June, and river permit camping is prohibited July 1 through October 15 due to high fire danger.

We booked the dude for an annual trip to a festival for our family (wife + 3 yr old daughter). The RV was absolutely perfect for the trip. My daughter was very excited about the bunk beds! We didn't use the TVs but there were several, including one outside, and a great library of family friendly DVDs. Everything was in working order which is generally not the case with most RVs and it drove perfectly. The host was amazing as well - super nice and very well prepared. It made the whole experience super easy. Overall, I'd highly recommend and plan on booking again next year!
Bradley H. - Jul 2026
This was our first experience renting an RV and I have to say the process was smooth and the hosts provided all the information needed including helpful videos for setup and take down. Highly recommend.
