About Gold Country Campground Resort
A Tradition in the Heart of Gold Country
Located in the heart of California’s Gold Country, Gold Country Campground Resort has been welcoming guests to the Sierra Nevada foothills for generations. What began as a simple basecamp for exploration has grown into a full-service campground where families, groups, and travelers continue to return year after year.
This is a place shaped by history, nature, and the people who come back again and again.
Our History
Long before the campground existed, the Sierra Nevada foothills were home to generations of Northern Sierra Miwok people, who lived, traveled, and traded throughout the region. In the mid-1800s, explorers and settlers began crossing the Sierra Nevada, followed soon after by miners drawn to the promise of gold.
As the Gold Rush spread into the mountains, communities formed throughout the area, including Pine Grove, along rivers, creeks, and mountain passes. Prospectors could be found throughout the region, from the Mokelumne River to now-forgotten mining camps, shaping the history that still defines Gold Country today.
For nearly two centuries, people have been drawn to this area for its mountain lakes, grassy meadows, wildflowers, deep river canyons, and dramatic landscapes. That same pull continues to bring guests here today.
Our Community
Gold Country Campground Resort is more than a place to stay.
It’s a gathering place! Guests come for the scenery, the history, and the outdoor recreation, but many stay for the sense of community. With a wide range of accommodations, planned activities, and shared spaces, the campground is designed to be welcoming, family-friendly, and easy to enjoy.
