Camping in the Gold Mining Camp on the Mokulmne River

Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants who are also known as campers leave urban areas such as their home region or civilization and enjoy nature by spending a night or more nights outdoors which is usually a campsite using tents or cabins or having no shelter at all. Camping is a part of many youth organizations. It is used to teach people self-reliance and teamwork.

The Mokulmne River Canyon was described as an area whose beauty defies description. As written in the Volcano Ledger (Newspaper) in 1855, one traveler wrote, “The most beautiful landscape ever witnessed was there spread out to out enraptured view. Who could look upon that scene and not be reminded of Nature’s God?” It is in this place where Roaring Camp Gold is located. Roaring Camp is a gold mining camp on the Mokulmne River that was once a gold mining camp of the Forty-Niners. It was so difficult to get to this camp that it could only be done by horseback and since it was so inaccessible, most of its gold is still around. In the Mokulmne Canyon, there are three forks that come together making the river look so good. Its water is so clear that guests could literally see tadpoles and frogs swim. In a secluded area of the river there is a quiet swimming hole where guests may swim. Around this area are rocks that go as high as 40 feet. Braver souls may dive from these rocks.

This place is so pretty that one can just sit out there and enjoy everything. Camping on the Mokulmne River can be the best thing that could happen to you because you get to enjoy with Mother Nature, see and feel the beauty of the place. Not only have the owners of Roaring Camp come up with outdoor adventures but also with fun activities that are recreational. Some of their camping activities are: swimming, hiking, diving and fishing. Campers may go swimming in the swimming hole, diving from rocks around the area, hiking on trails once used by the 49ers, and fishing for German Browns and Rainbow Trout along miles of river. Then to highlight Saturday night’s event, there is a cook out of New York Steak Barbeque. For those who are staying in camp, this dinner is free but for those who are not from the camp, they will have to shell out $50.00 for the dinner. Other camping activities that may be enjoyed are rafting, exploring miles of river dredging and gold panning. Come and Have Fun at Roaring Camp Gold! Make your reservations now!
