Between the big city spread of Sacramento and the massive mountainous forestlands of Eldorado National Forest is the small Northern California town of Diamond Springs. Originally settled in 1848, Diamond Springs is named for the sparkling springs found just outside of the town. The area thrived in the mid to late 1800s during the gold rush due to the high volumes of shiny metals found beneath its surface. In 1851, one of the largest nuggets of gold ever mined in the country was found here, measuring in at a bulky (and valuable) 25 pounds.

Today, Diamond Springs still remains an exciting and interesting tourist destination and is a wonderful place to rent an RV. The area is surrounded by forested mountains and hiking trails, in addition to many other outdoor recreational activities.

The Great Outdoors

When you book an RV in Diamond Springs, you'll find an expansive array of places to explore in this unique region. Eldorado National Forest is just a 30-minute drive from the city and offers up plenty of potential outdoor adventures. From fishing and floating in the waters of the Ice House Reservoir to hiking the trails of the picturesque Desolation Wilderness region, at Eldorado National Forest, you can easily spend a day or a few with the Diamond Springs camper rental.

A short drive to the west can land you on the shores of the 11,000-acre Folsom Lake. Folsom Lake State Recreation Area wraps around the lake's southeastern shores and has boat launches, a bicycle path, and trails for hiking and horseback riding. Visitors can take part in water recreation activities including kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, and swimming. There are campsites found throughout the park so if you find solace in this small but scenic park and want to stay awhile, you can plant the Diamond Springs travel trailer rental and relax.

Diamond Springs is also within reasonable driving distance of Tahoe National Forest to the northeast and Stanislaus National Forest to the southeast. At Tahoe, you can scope out the towering mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevada while trekking through lush forests and deep river canyons. Visitors can enjoy activities like hiking, biking, and kayaking during the summer months. As the seasons change and temperatures drop, focus turns to skiing, both downhill and cross-country, along with snowmobiling and winter-scene photography sessions. To the south in Stanislaus National Forest, explorers can experience the Emigrant Wilderness' crystal clear lakes and rock formations created by layers of volcanic lava. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are some of the ways to become immersed in this nearly one million acre wonderland.
