Resort Profile

Ghost Mountain, in Pollock Pines, California, is a beautiful, natural campground surrounded on three sides by the El Dorado National Forest. If you want to visit a quiet and secluded resort, this is the place. It’s only three miles off U.S. Hwy. 50 but has a true wilderness atmosphere.

Ghost Mountain is a full-service resort with RV spots, tent camping, cabins, and activities. The 325-acre park is perfect for hikers and mountain bikers who would like to explore the natural forest setting. There is also an Old West ghost town that helps set the Western atmosphere of the resort.

The resort features a variety of attractions, activities, and amenities during the summer peak season. There are horseback trails, pony rides, and children’s activities every weekend. The swimming pool, game room, and Gatehouse Theatre are open daily. Kokopelli’s Bar and Grill, in the ghost town, is open each weekend of the year and is host to a variety of annual parties and events such as the 4th of July chili cook-off and Western Days in August.

During the winter months, the resort becomes beautifully calm and serene as we enjoy the weather patterns at 3,700-feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Ghost Mountain gets its share of snow in the winter, but is usually melts quickly and road remains passable at all times.

The Mother Load area surrounding Ghost Mountain is full of interesting sights and destinations. Coloma State Park, only 25 miles away, is the site of James Marshall’s gold discovery that ignited the California Gold Rush. World-famous Lake Tahoe is only an hour away if you’re looking for nightlife or world-class snow skiing. The Apple Hill area in nearby Camino is bustling every fall, selling a large variety of locally produced agricultural products.
