The Original Yellow Creek Falls Fish Camp! Established in 1960, Yellow Creek Falls Fish Camp has been family owned for almost 60 years and we aren't changing that anytime soon.
Yellow Creek Falls Fish Camp offers you a chance to experience the great outdoors in our Primitive Camping area. There are a number of sights with a direct view of Yellow Creek Falls and several are located directly on Weiss Lake.
There is no better way to rest than to relax to the sound of a waterfall. All of our campsites allow you to hear the flowing water from our 85 foot tall falls.
We are so much more than just a "Fish Camp". We offer the following for your enjoyment:
Full Service General Store
Camping
Extensive Tackle, Bait, and Fishing Supplies
Kayak, Canoe, and Paddleboat Rentals
Fine Selection of Musical Instruments and Related Gear
Hot Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Free Boat Ramp and Launch
So much more

Friendly folks in the store, great place to launch a kayak and paddle up to see Yellow Creek Falls where you can hike up a trail through the rocks.
This is a beautiful place! Great staff and the kayak rentals are reasonable. It's a good location to go out to the main part of the lake. It's just a short paddle directly across the water to Yellow Creek Falls. There are several hiking trails leading up to a nice little swimming hole at the base of the Falls. It's also a good area for rock climbing and rappelling. Follow us out on IG @southernwayfaring for some shots from the latest trip!
I spent the weekend camping, kayaking, and exploring this beautiful area! The staff was so friendly, so welcoming, and completely genuine in wanting to make sure we had the best experience. Their little shop was great! It had lots of supplies, great pizza and breakfast items, and they even had karaoke at night! The campsite was considered primitive but it did have several fire rings, picnic tables, a spigot with clean water, and a porta potty. It was a wonderful experience and I will absolutely return!!
Another trip to
Yellow Creek Falls. 4 days here so far, temps in the 20s at night. Good weather until today. We have a chilly rain right now. At least it’s not pouring !!!!
This is one of our favorite places to camp, any season. Quiet campground, on the lake. Good place to put in kayaks, there’s a boat ramp very close. Same road.
Kayaking is flat water but a beautiful destination awaits. Yellow creek falls is right around the corner. A short hike will take you right to the fall pool. Big rocks for jumping at the bottom of the falls creek.
Be sure and stop in to see Jane at the market there. Snacks, food, bait... and believe it or not they have a thriving guitar store inside the market.
Interesting little place off the beaten track. Seemed to be a relic from the past where people actually came to camp and fish. Now it seems to be mainly a sparsely stocked convenience store, guitar shop (yes, you read that correctly), and kayak rental outlet. There were hints that they serve food but it was hard to tell. The boat launch and a modest fleet of well-used kayaks is a short walk across the parking lot and across the street. It's a short paddle to the actual falls and you can see them from the dock. (We didn't try it - the weather was pretty bad and they won't rent in bad weather.) We didn't see any fishing, or anything else, going on. Just one guy minding the store who seemed slightly out of place but was friendly enough and willing to answer questions. I had just spotted this place on Google maps and wanted to see what a real fish camp looked like. It was very quiet when we found it and, probably because of the foul weather, there just wasn't anything going on. Still, it was an interesting sight to see.
