Lost Dutchman's Mining Association

This private Gold Mining Camp & Campground opens its gates to the public during scheduled gold & treasure events. All other times are reserved for members of the Lost Dutchman's Mining Association only.

These events are a great way to learn mining skills from seasoned prospectors, meet new friends, and of course... Find Some Gold!
