Stockton State Park offers easy access to the lake and everything needed for a day on the water. Fishing boats, pontoon boats, and personal watercrafts can be rented at the campground and marina store which also supplies gas, fishing tackle, bait, beer, clothing, souvenirs, groceries, and camping supplies. The park has two boat ramps where there is no charge to launch, and over 350 boat slips, including more than 100 designed just for sailboats.

We are open daily from 8am - 5:30pm (April through October) with extended hours of 7am - 8pm Memorial Day through Labor Day. We offer a great atmosphere and a friendly staff to make your visit memorable. Come visit us soon!

DINING

Come visit us by land or water and grab a bite to eat at the Snak Shack, our new dining facility located right on the water. At this time, we are offering a limited menu,  but you are welcome to sit down and eat with us! 

FISHING

Fishermen casting their lines can anticipate catching largemouth, smallmouth, spotted or white bass. They may also catch crappie, walleye, or bluegill along with channel, bullhead, and flathead catfish. We have wonderful walkable shorelines for bank casters. Our coves and points are a fisherman's dream, and we have year 'round fishing. Those needing a fishing license may purchase one at the marina store.

If you are looking for a fishing guide, we recommend Gary Stanton. You'll enjoy your day of fishing for sure!

Sarah Knetzke, age 9 of Ozark, MO caught this 6.1lb (15-1/2" girth) largemouth in one of the coves near Stockton State Park Marina on July 2, 2011. She caught it using her Scooby Doo fishing pole, 10lb test, and a nightcrawler/bobber combo. What an awesome catch!
