Thinking of purchasing a camp on False River.

More information may get you better answers. What are you looking for in a camp? Are you trying to fish, jet ski, general boating, just drinking on the dock?

I have two friends (who don't know each other) who bought camps at False River about a year apart. Both families used the camps a lot during the first summer - the next summer they used their camps less, and every summer thereafter they used them less and less.

Both sold their camps after 5-6 years. Maintenance (including grass cutting) became too much of a chore and insurance was apparently pretty pricey.

I have no idea if either made made a profit on the sale.

False River is only around 10 miles long, so you can get most places quickly.

Fishing is better on the ends. Skiing is done in the middle area.

New Roads side is busier and louder, but also has quick access to groceries, restaurants, banks, etc.

Island side is quieter, cheaper, and has less traffic.

I don't think you can go wrong on location. You might be closer to a grocery store on the land side, but even if your on the island side, its not that long of a trip to downtown or the bigger grocery stores. Camps seem to sell quickly once put up for sale. Camps on the land side seem nicer and more modern. Island side is regentrifying.

See the thread about the brush piles to fish!
