If you don’t mind the sun

This is a neat little plot of land to base some fishing from. It’s run by Middleton’s Fish Camp Park, so really this location on the map needs a name change.

When you get here, you pay $10 per person to the bait shop for the night. They’ve stopped people from driving out to the camping area, so you have to lug your gear to your spot. There’s no shade in the camping area, but there are two fire pits and two picnic tables, so bring a pop up or shelter tent for the midday sun. The bathhouse has male and female sides with two toilets and a shower. It’s not up kept terribly well, but they work just fine!

If no one is in the bait shop it says to help yourself to ice and bait until someone comes. Inside the shop are drinks and snacks available. There’s also a phone number you can call. The owner also does guided lake trips if you’re interested.

Bring your boat or kayak to explore the lake. It’s really big. Last time we camped here (10 or so years ago) we rented a John boat for the day. The lake is a birders paradise if you’re into that. All along are big osprey nests in the trees.

There is a Blue Cypress community next to the camping. Primarily “fish camp” getaways.
