Good enough for an overnight stay

A very basic roadside RV camp. 20 and 30amp hookups at the site but no water or sewer. The camp does have a dump station and outhouses.

It should also be noted that the camp does have a nice gold mining museum.

As for the rest please see attached video and photos.

Home away from home

We spent the whole summer here working for the camp. The amenities are great for being way out of town. Showers are available, but for a fee. Lots to do like hiking, touring the historic dredge, and mining your own gold. Plan ahead and bring food, there’s no grocery nearby. Expect limited internet connectivity, and no cell service.
