Lake Fork info

My cousin is getting married in late september in Austin, sounds like a really good reason to me to leave a week before so I can scratch lake Fork off of my bucket list! It will be a budget trip so I plan on camping and would obviously need a camping pad with power and a shower facility would be nice too... Just looking for advice on what camp ground is closest to the best fishing on the lake and has the best facilities? I plan on fishing at least four days and I know thats not a ton of time for a fishery that size but I want to make the best of it, so any info ahead of time would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!Kip

Kip… I could be wrong.. but most of lake Fork is for RVs and things.. not too many camping facilities around.. there is not state parks on that lake.Some of the cabins are cheap though.. you might want to rent a cabin.. depending on your budgetMo

Burnin Stump Lodge is the place I stay (often). Prices are good and the place is super clean. Covered boat parking, large rooms, and a great owner. It is located just west of the 515 bridge, very close to a good public (free) launch. Fishing in the fall can be a little tough, but schooling fish should be up.

Question is will they let me with just my Tahoe and boat no RV?Burnin Stump lodge, do you recall approx cost per night? If its $100.00 or less a night I could swing it…. Im meeting up with my high school aged cousin who loves fishing but hes not riding with he lives in Texas so I wont have someone to split gas on the way down and back, but Im sure his folks will chip in for a cabin or motel room. I like the sound of covered boat parking and clean rooms. Once we get closer to the trip I will be asking you Texas guys to give a fellow BCB owner some inside tips maybe a waypoint or 20? hahahahaKip

I believe the nightly rate at Burnin Stump is $60-70 per night. Tell him you are staying for several nights and ask for a good rate. I promise you will like the place.,

Not about a place to stay but some advice. Start in the middle fork. It is much less daunting and will help you quickly find a good pattern.Once you find a pattern that works, you can venture into the bigger lake and replicate the types of structure on your middle fork pattern.
