Camp Augusta is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada foothills near the historic gold mining town of Nevada City. Our 80 wooded acres rest on the west shore of beautiful Lake Vera, about an hour and a half Northeast of Sacramento.

All activities take place on our site or on the adjoining South Yuba River Recreation Area. Our elevation of 2500 feet and tall pine forest provides the ideal climate for outdoor fun. Summer day-time temperatures average in the mid 80s and night-time temperatures in the pleasant 60s.

Camp Augusta provides staffed, round-trip transportation from the Bay Area. A charter bus picks up and delivers campers at the Piedmont Community Center on the first and last day of each session.
