Angels Camp is a storied place in Calaveras County
Angels Camp is a historic town rooted in the Gold Rush era and literary legend. The town drew in prospectors seeking their fortune through gold in the 19th century, one being Mark Twain, still a relative unknown. Twain struck gold in his way after overhearing a story at a local tavern that led to one of his most famous early works, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." Today, a statue of the author stands in Utica Park, within walking distance of Angels Camp's preserved downtown area, where buildings date back to its founding. His story is still brought to life at the annual county festival in Angels Camp, where participants compete for the highest jumping frog. Angels Camp is still a place where homebuyers can find ranches on vast acres and own a horse, or maybe even start a vineyard. Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near several lakes, life is touched by outdoorsy fun from boating to fishing to hiking and golfing at the local municipal course.
The City of Angels Camp is a major artery for travelers driving through the gold country.

Communities meeting different lifestyles
Angels Camp has everything from a golf course community to homes in the countryside or fronting the lake, and properties closer to its downtown core. Custom-builds, ranch styles, estates and some manufactured homes have a foothold here. "There are a lot of historical homes. People live in them, have restored them and keep them up," says Melanie Adair, a local Realtor who works for Friends Real Estate Services. The oldest are from the 1800s. Given the town's layout, lots range widely, from less than 10,000 square feet to vast acres. The median sale price in Angels Camp is $520,000. However, a coveted location on the water or fairway, or land amassing over 200 acres, can fetch from around $1 million to $2.5 million. The lack of light pollution here is striking. "When people call me at night after moving in, while they are putting their bed together, and have to go out to their car and it's pitch black, I say, just look up because you can see all the stars," Adair says.
Angels Camp Golf Course is where the locals go to enjoy a round of golf.
