More about Fish Camp
Yosemite's doorstep
Set in the valley of Big Creek - which flows north into the park to meet the South Fork Merced near Wawona - Fish Camp is prime Yosemite basecamp country, with lodges, cabins, and vacation rentals catering to park visitors.
The Sugar Pine Railroad
The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, a heritage steam line at 56001 Highway 41, runs excursion trains through the forest - a beloved family stop and a nod to the area's logging past.
Living at 5,000 feet
Real estate is limited and commands a premium for its park proximity; expect real winters and snow up here. See the Yosemite gateway guide for visiting.
