Just in time for the festive season, Tuolumne County is preparing to open the doors this December to a brand new, purpose-built, family fun centre at Black Oak Casino. Offering families over 15 different sports in a purpose-built indoor sports park. So if you make a trip to the cabin, I recommend making a day or weekend out of it and visiting many of the other cool stuff nearby.A new family fun centre opens at Black Oak Casino in Tuolumne County

The Calaveras County Fair is also nearby, where they host the annual Jumping Frog Jubilee. There’s a lot of Twain-themed street art in the area, including murals and statues of Twain and “jumping frogs.” It’s an old mining town that still feels like an old mining town, though more colorful and fun now. Still, no facilities is a factor that should be considered when giving an honest review of a place, valid excuses or not.Īll that being said, there is a charming town nearby called Angel’s Camp.

Residents probably don’t want a bathroom so close to their yard, especially a porto-potty, unless it’s absolutely necessary-and even then, it would be the lesser of 2 evils. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to NOT have any facilities at such a low-traffic place, especially since the site is surrounded by residences. It’s just an old nearly-empty cabin.Ģ) There are no facilities at the location whatsoever. If you don’t care about Mark Twain, you probably won’t care much about this place. While I was very interested in this site, I have to give it 3 stars for two reasons:ġ) I have to recognize that it’s almost exclusively an interesting place to Mark Twain fans. As a writer-and one who admires Mark Twain-this was a very cool stop for me.Įven though it’s not the original cabin, I had fun imagining Mark Twain spending a winter there with a couple kooky miners writing “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.”
