In 1864, Mark Twain wrote his first successful short story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and Angels Camp became linked with frogs for all time.

The Jumping Frog Jubilee is held the third weekend of May every year.

Angels Camp is also home to championship golf, community parks, museums, New Melones Lake, festivals and great downtown shopping.

Angels Camp is host to a variety of excellent lodging accommodations and restaurants.
