Roaring Camp Mining Co.
in the California Mother Lode
Roaring Camp is something
special in the way of family recreation. It is an old goldmining
camp on the Mokulmne River. In the past, it was accessibly only
by horseback. Roaring Camp was once a camp for Forty Niners, but
since it was so inaccessible, most of the gold still remains. Visitors
can see our operating gold mine an can mine their own gold by panning,
sluicing, dredging, and dry washing.

In the Mokulumne Canyon, the three forks of the Mokelumne River
come together. It is a river unsurpassed in natural beauty. The
water is so clear that one can watch the tadpoles and fish swim.
There are waterfalls and natural rock formations forty feet high.
There is also a quiet,
secluded "swimming hole" with rocks of varying sizes,
ideal for diving by those who dare! Be sure to bring your fishing
gear. The fishing here is excellent!
