Carson's Camp

Carson's Camp, first private resort in the June Lake Loop, was established by Roy Carson in 1916. The initial camp was in a tent near "where fishing is always good". In 1919 his wife Nancy became camp cook and housekeeper. The first building on this site, adjoining Alger Creek, was completed in 1920. The main building was finished in 1921. This same building now serves as the Silver Creek Store.
