Listing #3185 : Georgia Boys Fish Camp & Cottage Resort

United States of America > Florida > Atlantic Coast North > Palatka

Description

Cozy and comfortable cottage with boat dockage right on Dunns Creek,
with easy access to St. Johns River, Crescent Lake, Murphy Creek,
Seven Sisters Islands and the Barge Canal by Rodman Dam, as well as
Lake George. Welatka and Georgetown on Lake George are about 45
minutes away by boat, and 15 minutes by road. Completely furnished,
including linens, dishes, pots and pans. Dock, boat ramp, gas dock,
picnic tables, BB grills, bait and tackle shop with live and
artificial bait, and fish cleaning station are right here. Join us
on the patio and talk fishing or solve all the world's problems with
our other guests and neighbors! All one and two bedroom cottages
have full kitchens with gas stove, fridge, microwave, coffee pot,
and anything else needed. Cable TV and HBO are included. Quiet and
friendly cottage in the middle of nature, and just a few miles from
all the shopping centers, restaurants and tourist attractions in the
area. Fish Camps are quickly disappearing in Florida, as the land we
are sitting on is becoming too valuable and is being bought up for
new townhouse and condo developments. We are here because we think
that the fish camp experience is not to be missed! Come and stay and
keep the tradition alive; you will not be sorry you found our little
piece of paradise!

Amenities

Fishing guides and eco tours are available, and nature is out your
front door. Bring your boat or kayak to traverse Dunns Creek and
check out Dunns Creek State Park, a 6,222 acre wilderness,
located across the creek from our fish camp, as well as the 1,000
acres Murphy Island, and 2200 acre Dunns Creek Conservation areas.
Ravine Gardens is in the center of Palatka, 7 miles from the
cottage. Fish cleaning station located by bait shop. Antique shops
and historical sites abound in this area, and you can picnic or
birdwatch on Murphy Island, or boat or kayak thru Murphy Creek to
gator and manatee watch in season. Visit and play at the "Redneck
Riviera", a sand bar in the middle of the St. Johns River that the
locals use to play volleyball, BBQ, and relax at low tide. Bike or
hike the Florida trail, or just sit back and watch the boats and the
wildlife on the creek front from our benches and picnic area, or use
the fire pit by the creek at night to star watch. Turtles, otters,
Eagles, Great Blue Herons, Egrets, Hawks, Osprey and many other
types of birds will keep your interest. This is the real Florida,
but Disney World is a short ride away (1 1/2 hours, 90 miles), as
well as Jacksonville (50 miles),St. Augustine (30 miles),
Destination Daytona (40 miles for Bike Week), Daytona Beach (50
miles), Ocala, Silver Springs, Mount Dora, Ocala National Forest,
Welatka State Forest, Crescent Beach and Flagler Beach,(30 miles),
Gainesville (45 miles) etc. We are so close to civilization, but far
away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This is the place to
relax and see the friendly faces of small town life, with big city
conveniences just a short ride away. Day trips are easy because we
are in the middle of so much, but you will feel like you are far
away from the hubbub once you arrive! This is what vacations are all
about, a change from the usual!

Activities

Fishing is the best in the area; the St. Johns River, Dunns Creek,
Lake George and Crescent Lake are some of the top areas to fish.
You can catch Bream, Speckled Perch (Black Crappie), Catfish of all
kinds, and trophy size Bass here, (just had a 11 1/2 pounder pulled
out of Dunns Creek a few days ago) as well as Mullet, Redfish, and
other salt water fish and shrimp in season. You can also just enjoy
Nature at its finest; birdwatch, kayak, or just cruise the creeks
and lakes. Manatees (in season) and many other species inhabit the
area. Hike or bike, golf, or just relax and enjoy a real laid-back
vacation hanging out on the bait shop patio with the locals. There
are many flea markets and garage sales all winter long in this area,
and the living is easy! Come and see civil war re-enactments in the
fall, and Blue Grass festivals in the winter,and enjoy Palatka's 150
year old historic city where there are events just about every
weekend in town, or drive to St Augustine to sight see or shop at
