Auburn State Recreation Area
Mineral Bar and Ruck-A-Chucky Campgrounds
501 El Dorado St. • Auburn, CA 95603 • (530) 885-4527
Auburn State Recreation Area is a jewel of a park in the heart of the gold country. Once crowded with hardliving gold miners, Auburn SRA now offers something for everyone. Mineral Bar and Ruck-A-Chucky are
primitive campgrounds located on the American River; both are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
PARK FEES are due upon entry into the park.
Self-registration is required. Fees include one
vehicle and one legally towed vehicle. Extra
vehicles will be charged an additional fee, with
a maximum of three vehicles.
QUIET HOURS are from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Radios
and other sound-producing devices are not allowed
during that time. To ensure an enjoyable experience
for everyone, please do not disturb other campers,
regardless of the time of day or night.

allowed per campsite.
