"You hook 'em, we cook 'em" is this fishing-themed campground's slogan and it means exactly what it says--catch fish at the campsite's lake and for a nominal fee, guests can bring their fish to the cafe where the cook will fry them up. Or, campers can clean and cook the fish around their campsite's fire ring. No fishing license is needed and there is no limit to the number of fish campers can catch. The campground offers 60 campsites, some with full RV hookups, showers, restrooms and a swimming pool. Cabins are also available to rent. In addition to fishing, campers can choose from a variety of activities near the campsite, including gold panning, visiting a kangaroo ranch and biking on the George S. Mickelson trail. Reservations can be booked via the campground's website.
