Roaring Camp stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history as a former camp for the Forty Niners, where much of the gold remains untouched due to its remote location. Visitors have the exciting opportunity to explore our active gold mine and try their hand at mining for gold through panning, sluicing, metal detecting, and dry washing.
Nestled in the stunning Mokelumne Canyon, the convergence of the three forks of the Mokelumne River creates a breathtaking landscape.

The area is adorned with impressive waterfalls and natural rock formations that rise up to forty feet high, offering a picturesque backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts.
For those seeking a tranquil escape, a secluded swimming hole awaits, featuring rocks of various sizes that provide perfect diving spots for the adventurous.
