The thought of going camping brings a lot of fun memories, especially if it is camping on the Mokelumne River because this camp is a gold mining camp. It is here that you will experience a lot of outdoor adventures and fun activities.

The gold mining camp is none other than the Roaring Camp Mining Co. This place is an old mining camp which was once mined by the Forty-Niners. It was then only accessible by horseback but because of this, most of the gold can still be found in the place today. Visitors are welcome to see the gold mining operations and they are allowed to mine for their own gold through panning, dredging and sluicing. This place has not only been blessed with gold, but also with natural beauty of the river where the water is clear, waterfalls and natural rock formations that are as high as forty feet. Tadpoles and fish may be seen swimming in the clear water. Camping on the Mokelumne River means you and I can enjoy the place with a lot of outdoor adventures and fun activities such as going on a picnic by the river, exploring miles of river by rafting, swimming in a secluded and quiet place called “swimming hole” and diving from varied sizes of rocks around the place. The river is also blessed with a lot of fish that a camper may go fishing for German Browns and Rainbow Trout. Then guests may also go hiking in the trails used by the Forty-Niners. As these visitors go hiking, they may collect rocks such as quartz crystals, jade, jasper, river rubies and arrowheads. Then comes the Saturday Night cook out where the camping guests get a treat of New York steak barbeque. Non- campers may also join the Saturday night cook out dinner for a fee of $50 per person. The whole family may enjoy outdoor adventures and fun activities like playing golf in the miniature golf course and children may have fun in the playground where they may avail of the swing, the slide and a climbing fort. Then the best of these outdoor adventures and fun activities has yet to be done and it is none other than the gold mining adventures. Gold may be obtained through any of the following processes- dredging, panning, or sluicing. Each cabin is provided with dredging equipment.
