What it’s like
The place. Fish Camp is a small community in Mariposa County, California, in the Sierra Nevada, close to the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park. It is a very small community, the kind where people tend to know one another. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month, while summers are warm, with July the warmest, and a good deal of rain and melted snow falls over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Others work in government or the building trades.
Things to do. Yosemite National Park, a national park, is a longer drive away and is one of the best known parks in the country. Chilnualna Fall, a waterfall, is a short drive away, and the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, a museum, is in or beside town.
