With the price of gold at an all-time high, it's no wonder it costs $500 a week to camp in a tent at Roaring Camp Mining Co. in the Mokelumne River Canyon southeast of Sacramento.
One you've got your site and you purchase an inexpensive gold mining pan from the general store, your hard work could pay for the site and then some if you strike it rich in the river. Included in the steep price of camping is an instructional gold mining course for beginners. If you own your own dredging machine, you're alloted a stretch of river in which to harvest some materials for DIY grillz.]]>
