Great History Lesson But - Hot and Dusty

There is a great history lesson in this park about the mining industry in California and what it has done to our environment. You will see up close and personal the destruction of mountains by water jets in an effort to find gold.

But as a campground my experience was it was hot and dusty. I am thinking I need to retry this but not in the summer. There are sparse trees - pines - and the usual state park sites.
