  • Group Camping Spot

    We have a beautiful campground nestled along the South Fork of the American River. This site is ideal for families, Scouts, church groups, or just a group of friends looking to steal some time away to reconnect and camp. People of all ages can camp out, swim, and play at our group camping location.  Renting out the entire campground means your group get's the whole place! Each site also includes its own picnic benches, a propane fire pit with propane included (fire pits are used to prevent wildfires), a prep table with a sink, and access to our shared bathroom facilities. Not a huge fan of being dirty? We’ve got you. (Showers included!) In addition, guests have access to volleyball, ping pong, benches, a communal sink, and the communal swimming area on the South Fork of the American River.

Statement of Belief

We believe we should, "Love the Lord (our) God with all (our) heart, and with all (our) soul, and with all (our) mind," and "The entire law is summed up in one command: Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37, Galatians 5:14. We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal and only Son of God. That He died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice, paying the penalty for all our sins, and then rose from the grave. It is through faith alone in Jesus Christ that we have received the free gift of salvation and eternal life. We are saved by grace, not works, “that no one should boast”. We believe the Bible is accurate, reliable, and the Word of God. (Luke 5:20-24; John 1:1-18; John 3:15-21; John 14:1-15; Ephesians 2; 1 John)

Who we are

Rock-N-Water is a group of Christians who want to impact young people with the joy of God's Living Word, so they might come to know Jesus and pass on God's love with excitement. We focus our program on biblical principals, and we use the help of nature, friendship, and challenge to develop character.
