What if you don't want to sleep on a bunk bed? The camp does not have accommodations for families. There is a limited amount of room for RV's, and there are several nearby motels and hotels. Use the Internet to look up hotels in "Fish Camp, CA" and in "Oakhurst, CA."
In previous years we have enjoyed tent camping on site, but there have been bear issues lately that took tent camping off the table. Please make other arrangements.
Any questions? Just contact us.
