THE ADVENTURE
Located in the heart of California’s Gold Country in
Calaveras County, just below the snow line and
half-way between Yosemite National Park and Lake
Tahoe, Angels Camp is the ultimate base camp for
adventure sports in the Sierra. You will find outdoor
recreation enthusiasts of all levels leaving their daily
grind for the adrenalin rush of the thrilling outdoors.
Here are just a few things to inspire you: Thousands
of acres of national forest land, low and high-country
lakes, rivers, caverns, wide-open landscapes, starry
skies, the Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway,
gourmet dining, award-winning wineries, thriving arts
and culture, live theatre and music, living history,
fascinating shops, special events and more.
Plan your adventure with the map inside.
ANGELS CAMP
The history of Angels Camp was forged from the
adventurous spirit of pioneers and prospectors. In 1848,
Henry Angel set up a canvas-tent trading post by the creek to
serve miners. Over the years, ‘Angels Camp’ became the base
camp for gold mining, forestry and ranching.
LIGHTNER MINE 1910
Then in 1865 a young Mark Twain happened upon a
captivating barroom tale in the Angels Hotel. The Celebrated
Jumping Frog of Calaveras County became his first
internationally acclaimed work and formed the basis for
the Jumping Frog Jubilee and County Fair in Angels
Camp, held annually on the
third weekend in May.
Today, Angels Camp is
the ultimate base camp
for Sierra sports.
