Very relaxing ,clean ,visible staff cabins are well kept super clean well stocked. Very friendly folks pretty strict on their policies but that's why it's ran well and maintained. Parking pass setup is rather odd you have to go to the gas station to get your pass not at the gate or office kinda strange but once you visit you know the drill it was my family's first visit to patoka. Cabin prices off season are very reasonable boat rentals seem fair. We will definitely have a pontoon boat or the princess houseboat next trip. I enjoyed my time their with family we will definitely be back.
Our favorite local lake! Its soo much cleaner than the others. The campground is beautiful and hads lots of wildlife
I was a little concerned because of the reviews but overall it was a great experience...we got the number 47 a 16 passenger and took 15. There was plenty of room! The boat wasn't as fast as I had hoped but hey there were 15 people on board. The staff at check in and check out were AMAZING. For the price we paid I was very satisfied!
I love camping at the fisherman's camp inside Patoka Lake. They have nice camp sites and decent outhouses. There's a fish cleaning station, which makes cleaning our catch much easier. I go for the fishing and the mushroom hunting! Make sure you don't eat more fish then the allotted amount for this lake. . . . .
Beautiful lake. Huge! Fishing is tough this time of year!
Our favorite place. Beautiful area..
