fish camp
Waterside processing settlement
A fish camp is a rustic settlement or seasonal facility used as a base for fishing, typically located on a lake, river, or coastal area.
In Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, fish camps are traditional sites where Indigenous families gather seasonally to harvest and process salmon.
Elsewhere, the term may refer to commercial fishing lodges or simple cabins where anglers stay during fishing trips: We spent a week at a fish camp on the Kenai River.
