We have a beautiful 20 acre lake. It's 60 ft deep with crystal clear water and is great for swimming and fishing. Kayaking welcome too. We also have a couple other ponds available for fishing as well. We raise fresh water prawn and bluegill in the summertime, so late september we have fresh shrimp available. Lots of waterfowl and deer here to see.

Awesome spot for fishing, leisurely paddling, and car camping. Clean, water was great, firewood was well seasoned and appropriately priced, outhouse was accessible and not terrifying (I only rate outhouses as terrifying or not). Will be coming back very soon.

Weekend Trip to Fish Farm Camp
We loved tent camping on Drew's property! It is absolutely beautiful here. The sites are spaced perfectly so that any noise made by other campers isn't too loud. We spent our anniversary weekend here and it was the perfect spot for it!! We definitely loved our little visitors that came by occasionally! The toilet was an unexpected plus! The property was really clean. Fishing could've been better but it was also chilly so that may have been why. 1000% recommend staying here!

What a beautiful piece of land! We basically had the place to ourselves. Drew was very accommodating and helpful throughout our trip. The outhouse was a nice bonus! And it didn't stink.

My camping partner wound up falling ill during our trip and Drew was especially helpful and accommodating in the resulting change of plans. Fish Farm Camp's property is a gem--beautiful and private--and while our trip did not pan out as we might have liked, Drew was excellent in making our pivots as smooth as possible.

The lake was just right, we had plenty of room to be alone. It was awesome that we could launch our kayaks right from our spot. We had a blast watching all the different birds and seeing the fish jump out of the water.

Beautiful place. Fishing wasn’t that great, only caught a few small ones, and another guy on a boat said he didn’t catch much either… it IS called Fish camp. I prepaid for eggs and minnows, and they didn’t have them, so he gave us a little extra wood instead. The host is hard to reach if you need anything. But all in all it was a nice place.

Pretty spot & Drew was very generous with the firewood and very respectful of my privacy. Felt safe and peaceful there. Sites do not have coverage or shade but are situated so that they feel private from one another. Thanks for a nice stay!
