Patoka has always had a hype about it for years; big lake, tons of boats, and fishing. This was our first trip here. We stayed in the Fishermans Primitive Campground. Our spot had full shade, a picnic table, a fire pit, and enough room to park two vehicles. (We backed in our boat with the suv). We stayed Thursday through Saturday night. Thursday we were the only campers in the entire campground! Creepy but nice. MAKE SURE TO PUT AWAY ALL OF YOUR FOOD!!! Even scraps and Yes even DOG FOOD. We had raccoon visitors both nights. Bathrooms are nice. Clean but without sinks. Water stations are throughout. Boat ramp is within the campsite. Fish cleaning stations is right off the parking lot for the boat ramp so very convenient. Overall we had a nice trip; but the fishing is very difficult here. Restaurants are very limited as well. Highly recommend Bennys!
