Saturday Night Cookout Our Saturday Night Cookout Dinner is a five hour trip into the canyon, leaving at 5:00 P.M. and returning at 10:00 P.M. After the guide shows you the Museum, Camp and our Placer Gold mine operation, he will show you how to pan for gold. (You keep the nuggets!) The dinner is a hearty New York Steak BBQ. Just wait until you taste the awesome fried bread! Cost is $50.00 per person for non-campers, or FREE for those who are staying in camp .

Gold Mining One dredge, 5" maximum, or one equivalent piece of mining equipment per cabin is allowed. This rule does not apply to Gold pans, small sluice boxes, etc. Please visit our Gold Mining page for more details on panning, slucing, gold bearing piles, and dredging.

Youth Activities Children and adults can enjoy a friendly round of minuature golf. The water is crystal clear. Many shallow areas for children, diving rocks for those who dare!

There is an inviting playground with swings, slide and a climbing fort. Enjoy a playful or relaxing afternoon at the "swimming hole". A GREAT way to refresh the entire family.

Fishing: Miles of river to fish for German Browns, Rainbow Trout, or Mountain Pike. Fishing is good all year, but most excellent in May and June when the water is cooler.

Hiking: Enjoy the beautiful trails leading down the Mokulumne River.
