We want people to continue to enjoy Lake Joy Campground's excellent fishing and boating, but need everyone to do their part so that our lake does not become contaminated with VHS. Therefore, the following rules apply to all boaters and anglers at Lake Joy Campground:
Anglers may not use leeches, live fish or live fish eggs as bait at Lake Joy Campground.
Anglers may not use dead leeches, dead fish, fish eggs, or fish parts for bait at Lake Joy Campground.
Anglers may not bring boats and fishing equipment and containers into Lake Joy Campground from out of state unless all the water has been drained from them first.
Before Bringing Your Boat to Lake Joy Campground:
Inspect your boat, trailer and equipment and remove visible aquatic plants, animals, and mud.
Drain water from your boat, bilge, live wells, and bait containers.
Wash your boat and equipment with a 1:5 solution of bleach and water, a high pressure rinse of hot water, or let it dry for five days.
We have rental boats and a selection of live worms and artificial lures for your convenience.
