JUST A REMINDER CATFISH ACRES IS OPEN WEEKENDS ONLY
THIS YEAR FOR THE 2026 SEASON- Daily Fishing, Camping - Cabins

However- There is one way that you can fish during the week.. Private Cabin'/ Fishing Trips. You must book for at least 2 days. The two day package is only $175 plus fishing passes and additional nights are only $75 each plus fishing. Since we have went to weekends only the fish get an opportunity to rest and the fishing has been even better.

All 4 Cabins now have electric. They also all sleep 4 people. 2 Cabins have a double bed and one set of bunks and the other 2 cabins have 2 sets of bunks, with 4 individual beds. They have outlets for charging and plugging in fans and other appliances and devices. These are basically sleeper/Fishing cabins but nice. The bathrooms are portable outside the cabin and the water is primitive pump well water. They have nice mattresses with covers so just bring your own linens or sleeping bag.

Your cabin is only 20-30 feet from your front porch. You can keep lines out the entire time from your lot if you choose too. That is how some of the big ones are caught. Your cabins also come with firepit, grill, picnic table, bench, porch, and outside lights.

Our 4 cabins are on a private 50 acre farm and when you book during the week for 2 days you will either be there by yourself or just one or two other cabin groups. It is very private. Nobody else is allowed in but the cabin groups during the week so you will open and shut the gate when you come and go. All regular fishing rules are to be followed during your stay.

On Weekends Cabins can be rented for one or two days. They are only $100 for the 1st night plus fishing and additional nights are only $75 plus fishing.

In addition to Fishing we have a kids play area, dirt hills to play for the kids, Swimming wading area in the river, Camp Store, Pavilions, and walking or bike road around the property. The town of Litchfield is only 4 miles away and has most things you would need. Coldwater and Hillsdale are larger towns within 20-25 minutes

Cabins will fill up fast so we are now taking reservations for all dates. During the week and weekends. Please call 517-542-3663 Tues-Fri 9am-6pm and Sat 9am-3pm to make reservations. We require a $25 deposit per day to hold a date for you.
