Camp Lotus

Amazing spot by the river with tons of trees. Went there for a day picnic. Will definitely go back in summer.

Pros-Friendly staff-1 minute walking distance to the Sacramento RiverCons-There was no soap in the cabin shower - just shampoo-There was nowhere to hang or put one's things in the cabin bathroom - no hooks, shelves, benches, etc.-They sold only one smartphone waterproof protector (so you could take your smartphone river rafting) in the campground store, and it simply didn't work-The water temperature in the separate shower facility wasn't warm (but was in the cabin shower)-Not a secluded feeling near the cabin - you could see cars, roads. I was hoping that you'd just see nature.-Couldn't make a fire in fire pit. This may be a regulation that Camp Lotus has to follow, not an internal policy

Excellent place to camp! Camp is right on river. Lots of trees and grass. Quieter place on river too - so good for children. Like most campgrounds on the River, the camp spots can be close together but they have done a nice job creating privacy with landscape. (Rocks, trees) Restrooms and showers were clean. Little store and cafe has everything you could need if you forget something. I definitely will be bringing the family back here. Great place.

This is our second time renting a cabin at Camp Lotus. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, as the property is right on the river. The grounds were clean and well kept. The owners were so nice and very accommodating. We will definitely be returning next summer!

Had an incredible time at Camp lotus this past weekend! The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and the river, even more so. The staff is lovely, the facilities are clean. River runners has a location on the property and you can go Whitewater rafting just a few minute walk from your campsite. The store on the site it's fantastic, well stocked, has everything you need, including homemade goodies. I wish I could return right now!

I love this camp. The camp sites are beautiful. Bathrooms are super clean and it was awesome to take a shower with hot water and good pressure. I will definitely go back again Shout out to the staff! Everyone was friendly, caring, and helpful. Special shout out to Charlie! We wrapped a raft with oar frame around a tree and it somehow landed at his place. He was kind enough to lend us a pump so we could get it back down the river. I'm really touched and impressed by the river community. Lotus rocks!!!

We stayed at Camp Lotus for one night in advance of our rafting trip down the South Fork of the American River. We enjoyed our experience here, though it's certainly not a place to get away from the crowds, particularly during a holiday weekend.Our campsites were on the periphery of the campground, a short walk to the river. As such, we weren't completely surrounded by other campers, so that was a plus. It helped that we were rafting with All Outdoors, which had a spacious campsite set aside for them, and though we weren't one of the groups with the full outfitting and prepared meals, we were still able to camp in this area.The atmosphere at Camp Lotus is quite friendly and respectful of others. Even though it was stuffed to the gills, almost everyone observed the quiet hours; we didn't hear much commotion past 10:30 or so. Our campsite was clean on arrival and we made sure to leave it that way at departure. We were told that they would be enforcing a no-campfire regulation during our stay so we obediently left our firewood and kindling at home, but noticed several site where campers had roaring blazes going. We'll make note of this loose enforcement when we come back, as we all would have enjoyed sitting around a fire on a cool late spring evening.The bathrooms were clean, though there were no paper towels and the hot air hand dryers were not functional. One of the urinals in the men's room was out of order, and the other one was prone to overflowing. The staff at check-in were super helpful and welcoming, and the camp store had plenty of provisions and other supplies should you need anything.The river right by the campground is relatively calm, and our kids (all teenagers from 13-17) were comfortable tubing down that stretch even though the current takes you to the far side of the river. Coming back to shore requires only a little bit of effort to cross the current; parents of younger children might want to consider their tolerance for this activity since there is no lifeguard on duty and I have no idea what might be farther downstream. One in our group brought a stand-up paddleboard, which was enjoyed by all.So, this was a positive experience for us. It would have been nice to have a little more solitude, but the location was really ideal for our rafting trip the next day.

We had our wedding at Camp Lotus last weekend and it was perfect. LuAnne is great to work with, the grounds are beautiful, cabins are great for getting ready and they had a lot of rental items that helped a ton. Our guests loved the venue and I'm looking forward to staying as a camper in the future.

This was our family's 3rd time for annual camping trip with our kid's school class to Camp Lotus. This is an amazing venue, with clean and well stocked facilities, helpful and friendly teams, and wonderful access to rafting and other activities right from the site. My kids love going every year, and we would highly recommend for your family or group event!

Best accommodations at the river, no doubt! Campground owner is the best! He opened up his home (campground) for us when we were in desperate need and for that we are forever grateful. God Bless you, Campground owner!
