Clean campground and gorgeous views of the night sky possible with not much light interference! The children's fishing pond is huge and the trail there is worth just going and sitting for a bit. Incredibly peaceful and paved the whole way there for easy access! It's located right between the camp store and the fish cleaning house which is clean and screened in for convenience! I can't wait to come back in the fall! To the lawn care people who started mowing Tuesday morning at 7:30am and were less than happy to be dealing with campers who quickly and willingly tried moving their possessions out of the way so you didn't run things over like dog ties or hammocks or chairs or even bikes, if you don't like people camping on days you mow, then maybe block that day off so you don't get angry at the customers. Thanks so much!
We love camping at Fishermans camp ground! Everyone including employees are always friendly. This was our 1st year for Thunder over Patoka and we absolutely loved it that we could watch the fireworks on the water from our bass boat!
We stayed at the primitive campground last weekend and had a great time. For some reason there was hardly anyone there. I think we had spot 14, which provided coverage. The majority of the spots do not provide coverage, so pick carefully. The trails were great for hiking and would recommend.
Patoka Camping 7-25-24 Sunny 85 degrees 250 series’s is wooded. Sites 70-90 and 120’s have shade. Lots of boats. Asphalt pads, many are sloped Site 20 had 1 tree, pretty much full sun next to entry road. Level site. Fire pit area was all grass but not level for chairs. Showers, men’s had 3 stalls, decent, separate area to dress and shower, fair amount of hooks to hang clothing. Cell service for TMOBILE was terrible in the campground. Had to walk around to find 1 bar LTE.
What a great experience!! Hats off to the people behind the scenes keeping this place absolutely beautiful and very clean! Thank you each, y'all are awesome and friendly!!
Beautiful park, clean facilities, friendly people.
Campground was mostly peaceful. Had a site with enough shade to stay cool.
