I really enjoyed tent camping at Cottaquilla Creek Campground ! The land and pond/lake was beautiful. When I got there, Clif was at work but, he text me and told me to call him as soon as I got to the property, so he could make sure every thing was to my satisfaction, and it was! He was extremely reachable and accommodating. He even came by after work as we agreed to when I called him upon my arrival. The lake is stocked with bass, bream and catfish, for catch and release ! I caught about 10 or so huge bream within 2 hours of fishing ! Although Clif said catch and release...about 4 of the fish just swallowed the hook, to the point that Clif said it was ok to go ahead and keep them to cook, rather than throwing them back and taking the risk of them not making it. I cooked and cleaned them right there at the camp site and they where delicious !! The lake is spring fed some the water was very clean. I would highly recommend camping here ! Be advised...You can hear some road noise in the distance but it was not bad at all to me. Thanks Clif !

Fab secluded family camping spot!
A M A Z I N G place. It's so beautiful. Clif is a great host, and his pups are sweet as pie. This campground features even land for camping, a gorgeous stocked lake (my 11 year old caught catfish, bream, and bass!!!), a well-maintained walking trail along the property, and the cleanest porta-potty I've ever seen. Would stay here a million times over. Already looking forward to our next adventure here!

We really enjoyed camping and fishing on Clif’s property. My son and I ended up catching close to 20 Bluegill, so it was a great day of fishing. The options for exploration were great, and though Clif wasn’t present when we were there, he was very responsive and helpful. We’ll definitely be coming back (hopefully when it’s not 97 degrees outside 😅)
