Camping at PK

[hittman]

I'm heading to Possum Kingdom with my wife and BIL/SIL for some fishing/camping/hiking for the first time. Do any of you have any recommendations on where to camp? We will be in tents and will have my boat, so electricity will be needed.

Hopefully we'll be able to get on some striper and LMB.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

i would go to north d&d, close to fishing and shaded camping spots, right down the road from sandy beach for a good swimming area. If you decide to go more towards the dam you can hop across the road to south d&d boat ramp and cut a bunch of time off a boat ride.


Avoid bug beach because of sticker burrs

The state park has a fishing dock, walking trails and a good swimming area.

I'll check both of those out and see who has electricity hookups left. Might have to resort to bringing the generator. Thanks!

the state park is a considerable drive farther. Its on the west side and there is no bridges

Used to love to camp at the state park. Lots of big rocks , in deep water along the banks. Used to be good bass fishing along there and boat houses directly across the lake. Striper were good close by too! This info is a minimum of 15 years old though.

Lakeside rv might let you put a tent on a concrete pad if that appeals to you. They have a lakeside pool for the kids

Havnt been in years but we used to camp at the Dam/Spillway for free. Excellent fishing as well.

Like I said havnt been in years. It may not be free anymore.

We stayed at the state park and had a great time! We barely dodged some storms, but the fishing was good on Sunday morning. Caught some good keeper sandies. We all got some nice friendly chiggers to take home with us too....

Hoping to go back and find some striper soon.

I bet! We saw several deer in the morning from the lake. Two of the does looked like they were ready to pop any day now.

If I remember right North D&D has electricity.
