Although we do not carry or use a boat, we love to fish, and most of the campgrounds we visit have lakes or river, many of which have docks and fishing piers. The problem is that most of the states think that their fish are the most valuable in the world, and require you to have a expensive fishing license just for their state. Traveling over a number of states, this can become very expensive in a hurry, just for a couple of days fishing from the bank near our campsite. Much cheaper just to sit and skip flat rocks. We have stayed at a number of private campgrounds that have their own lakes or ponds, and that encourage the use with no extra charge. Many are cared for and well stocked with fish.
