Very hilly but fun when its time for XC
Jackie Hamer
Grassy sites with water, power and sewer. Exceptionally clean large bathrooms with one shower and three stalls for women with electrical outlet. The Camp host, Bill, is very friendly and accommodating. Current location is perfect , 1 mile from town. Extremely quiet. The price is fantastic compared to Angels camp RV right down the road,

Fairly well maintained fairgrounds for venues. However, they charge a ridiculous $8 for parking in a dirt lot. Later, when the event ends, Angels Camp doesn't have the capacity for all the cars leaving. If you host/go to an event here, he prepared for expensive parking and at least a 30 minute wait to drive out of downtown.
