About

STAY

South Shore Lake Camanche offers Tent and Full Hook-Up RV sites available year-round. Cottages, Primitive Camping and Equestrian camp sites are available for those looking for something little different. Many sites offer immediate lake access while others are just a short walk away. Ask you reservation agent or check the online maps for which sites provide shade. Campsite amenities include barbecues, tables, water, hot showers, restrooms, outdoor amphitheater for summer weekend night movies, and laundry facilities.

FISH

Lake Camanche is best known for great bass fishing, though it is also a favorite of trout anglers. Each year, 60,000 – 75,000 pounds of trout are stocked between October and June, each weighing at least a pound up to trophy sized 8 pounders. The large trout pond at South Shore along with our designated kid’s pond is a perfect place to take children fishing. There is also a highly unique Florida-strain largemouth bass plant each year. Other species found in Lake Camanche include the highly popular Lightning Trout (trout pond), rainbow trout, large and small mouth bass, spotted bass, catfish, kokanee, crappie, bluegill and sunfish.
