CEDAR GROVE CAMPING

Traveling to the camp site:

Cedar Grove Camping is 60 kilometers east of Sacramento, California. If you are
coming from Sacramento, you can get on a train that goes to the town of Placerville.
The train stops in the center of Placerville, and from there you can take a bus to the
campsite.

The campsite is near Rancho County Park, 45 kilometers outside of Placerville on

Highway 193. You can get on a bus on Main Street that goes north towards Kelsey.
When the bus arrives at the county park, get off the bus at the park entrance. There is
a sign near the park entrance that tells you how to walk to the campsite. It takes about
five minutes to walk there.

Hope to see you soon!
