Welcome to Clements, California

As the fertile San Joaquin Valley gives way to the Sierra-Nevada Mountains, you will find a dozen or more of California’s original gold mining towns. One of the last towns between civilization and the rich gold deposits of the mountains was that of Clements. Nestled amongst vast orchards of fruits and nuts and surrounded by majestic oak trees of centuries past,. Clements and its rolling hills have maintained their rural character despite the world-wide flood of people seeking their fortunes in the hills. To this day, Clements is still without a stoplight or gas station or bank. There are no apartment buildings or movie houses or malls. There are however 3 antique stores, a world famous saddle shop, the local “Feedlot” restaurant and the best hamburger joint in the valley. From Clements, it’s only 75 miles to ski at Lake Tahoe or Kirkwood and mere minutes to Sutter Creek, Jackson, Angels Camp, Columbia or Murphys . . . all preserved Gold Rush towns. Within 45 minutes you will be in Old Town Sacrament or within 1.5 hours you can be shopping in downtown San Francisco, both towns catering to international flight arrivals and departures. So whether you enjoy skiing, quiet bed and breakfasts or just leisurely drives through some of America’s most beautiful countryside, Clements is able to accommodate you.
