Winding through giant redwoods while riding these historical 100+ year old trains, you travel back to a simpler time. You emerge into an 1880's logging town of blacksmiths and gold panning, candle making and horseshoes. Roaring Camp re-creates the way life used to be and allows you and your children, to experience it, hands on! We offer group rates and have special events throughout the year. Roaring Camp also homes a gorgeous, unique wedding venue! Take the family back in time at Roaring Camp Railroads, experience the 1800s and unforgettable memories, for any and all ages! Established in 1963. F. Norman Clark founded Roaring Camp in 1958 with $25 in his pocket, a dream to restore two railway lines through the historic trees and preserve a period of California's golden past. Clarks legacy now lives on through his wife and daughter, continuing to preserve a piece of the 1880's and early California.
