Best Camping Cabin Antioch Near Me

4worldlovers: Although little remains of the coal mining communities, a historic cemetery serves as a monument to the lives of the former residents. Buried here are children who died in epidemics, women who died in childbirth, and men who died in mining disasters and of other things. Although over 10 nationalities resided in the mining area, Rose Hill Cemetery was a Protestant burial ground, and many of the people buried here were Welsh.

Over the years, vandalism has taken its toll on the cemetery, which the Park District is attempting to restore. If you have information concerning people buried here or the location of missing gravestones, please call the Black Diamond office at (510) 544-2750.

4worldlovers: Snug Harbor is one of the few truly waterfront or riverfront privately-owned parks in the amazing Sacramento San Joaquin River Delta area of Northern California

Located near the smaller Delta towns of Rio Vista, Walnut Grove, Isleton, Locke, and of course, the largest city is Sacramento which is 36 miles northeast of us. We are also a 15 minute drive from the Delta wine tasting region in Clarksburg, or 25 minutes from the Lodi wine tasting region or 60 minutes from the Napa Valley region!

One of the unique things about this area of the Delta is that you can still ride a car ferry to and from Ryer Island. How many Californian’s can say they have driven their car on a ferry?! Or for those who have an RV or don’t want to venture onto a ferry, you can use the bridge route to Snug Harbor and Ryer Island.

Snug Harbor’s resort has a history of providing a great family and pet friendly location for people who like to fish, boat, or just enjoy the peaceful waterfront RV sites and rental cottages with docks space right in front of the sites!

“There are no strangers here, only family, old friends and newly-found friends!”

Stay and play at the campground, or spend the day at one of the many
