Exploring the Area
Nestled in the foothills of Sierra Nevada mountains, Sonora is a small community established during the gold rush. It is a frequent stop for Stanislaus National Forest campers, as well as the outdoorsy people traveling to Yosemite National Park. Visitors who want to learn more about Sonora’s history and its role in the gold rush could visit the Tuolumne County Museum. The museum is housed in a former jailhouse and has thousands of artifacts, documents, and photographs. The jailhouse was built in the 1800s, and after years of being neglected, it became a museum in 1960. Friendly tour guides provide even more information about the gold rush in this part of California, so make sure you ask for a tour.

Jon’s trailer was great! This was our second time renting it we enjoyed it so much! The trailer it’s like home away from home. The beds are comfortable and it supplied with everything you need including dishes, coffee maker towels, even a bug zapper. We will definitely be renting from Jon again. The process was smooth and we had a fabulous camping trip.
