Trip Sold Out for the 2024 Rafting Season – Check Back for Information on 2025!
Raft and jam with members of Red Dirt Ruckus on the river! Enjoy 2 days of whitewater rafting on the South Fork American River.
Join us at our established and private South Fork American River Campground on the first night, prior to getting on the river. (Our campground is complete with showers and flushing toilets.) The second night is spent at a more primitive camp location on the river that includes a beautiful sandy beach. (Heads up! There are no showers or flushing toilets on night two.)
In addition to the fantastic on-the-river camp location, enjoy a live, yet intimate performance, from Red Dirt Ruckus! Enjoy a memorable night of camping in the wilderness on the shores of river. Hang out with the band members, sleep under the stars, wake to the calming sounds of the water and enjoy the beautiful forested surroundings in the morning.
Meet the Band
With members of Placerville’s ambassadors of funky foothill flavor, The Red Dirt Trio is ready to hit the river with you for exciting days and jammin nights!
Featuring Doug not Josh on guitar, Lisa Bond on fiddle, and Rob Keedy on percussion, the trio plays a bluegrassy reggae sound that’s hard to pin down. From originals to new takes on familiar classics this group is great for the whole family!
Water flows in the South Fork American River result from releases from hydroelectric facilities located upstream. Such water releases are not subject to the control of El Dorado County or rafting companies operating under Permits from the County of El Dorado.
