We call it Moon River Fish Camp. It's located at the end of a dead end street with woods on both sides, very private, at the top of Lake Oconee on the Appalachee River in fisherman's paradise. We have 300+ feet in a shallow water cove on a wide bend in the river where the fishing & the view are awesome. Kayaking & canoeing are favorites in our area of the river plus the Oconee River is minutes away. Easy river access & great wildlife in the back yard.. John Boat fishing is the boat of choice. Check with us for rates & availability.
Our camp has a large great room, kitchen and deck combination. The master has a queen, 2nd bedroom a queen, 3rd bedroom a full & a sleeper sofa in the great room.
You will have a paid boat launch for one boat with your stay. The boat launch is at the top of the street at the Appalachee River bait shop. And a real bonus the Oconee River is less than 15 minutes away & you can put in there at Dyars Pasture. It is a State Park & you pay $3 as you launch. Right now the catfish are biting like crazy 06/22/10. The Crappie & White Bass fishing are outstanding during the spring, especially up river on the Appalachee when the White Bass are running. Talk about a great time & fish stories. Summer is good for everything including some great cat fishing and in the fall & winter hybrid & striper bass likes to get busy. You can go down the river to the lake for some Crappie fishing or just enjoying the lake. We like to go up river as far as we can & then float down with the trolling motor & hunt the honey holes. John-boats,kayaks or canoes ONLY up river. It's too shallow for any other type boat but down river can accommodate a larger boat or pontoon boat.
We have completed the dock! It can only dock certain boats, john boats, kayaks & canoes due to 2 to 3 foot depth. It's a great place for them though. Goose, deer, turkey and other wildlife are in the area. If you are hunting for a place to stay while you go to your leased property or maybe duck or goose hunting this could be the place for you.
If you are with the fisherman but would like something else to do Madison is minutes away. It has great shopping, antique stores, restaurants, theater and beautiful historic houses. There are several small towns close by, each with it's on special personality and local treasures. Or just kick back at the camp on the deck with a good book ... enjoy the peace and get that needed R & R.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
We love to fish***river, lake, brackish or ocean. Everywhere we go we seem to make time to fish. One of our favorite kinds of fishing is river fishing. We love to motor up & float down. Here at the fish camp we have two rivers we can fish plus the lake. We love the outdoors & nature. We also love to recycle old wood & discarded items. We make cabin & barn wood furniture out of old barns we take down or lumber that we mill or salvage. We have taken our loves and combined them in the fish camp by getting a great place on the river & remodeling the inside to look like a cabin & making most of the furniture. We love making special pieces & places & our personalities are all over this place. We hope you will enjoy it too.
Why the Owner Chose Buckhead
It's all about the great fishing at Lake Oconee & the rivers that feed it. We had our eye on this property & were delighted when it became available. We just love the area. We have been renting it out by the year but have just lost our renter. We decided we wanted to use it so we could stay & fish so we converted it to a daily rental. We are so excited to finally be using it, it's so private & quite & we enjoying fixing it up. Hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing its all here plus having Madison & I-20 so close at hand makes everything convenient. And the boat launch & bait shop are at the top of the street. We love to shop antiques & Madison is full of great shopping & antique stores, and it has a great deal of historic beauty. Good local golf courses too.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The outstanding view is the first thing you notice. The biggest thing is the unexpected privacy & quite. The fish camp is at the end of the cul-de-sac so the little part of the yard is on the road & the big, 300+ ft back yard is on the lake/river & the new dock with patio. It has woods on both sides of the property. It is located in a very wide bend in the river so the water & view just go on & on. There is very little boat traffic so the wildlife is much more abundant. Kayakers, canoes & John boaters enjoy constantly seeing white cranes, blue hereon, osprey, hummingbirds, deer, raccoons, beaver, running chad, jumping fish (on the end of you line hopefully) & so much more.
