About
Sarge's Pay Lake and Campground is located 300 yards off the Creeper Trail in Green Cove, Virginia. Sarge's offers primitive camping with a stocked trout pay lake. Groups that frequent Sarge's are the Scouts of America, Trail Life, motorcycle groups of the Iron Mountain Trail, church groups, and the Girl scouts of America.
For fishing, Sarge's offers catch and keep at $6.00 for each fish caught. I will clean your catch for a nominal fee or you are welcome to use my cleaning station. I also offer catch and release with artificial lures only. The price is two fish for $5.00. At Sarge's, a fishing license is not required, and I supply the equipment and the baits for catch and release only. All of my trout are over 12 inches long with some well over 20 inches. The campground and pay lake are open by appointment only.
The campground is open in March (weather depending) through November. Due to the size of the campground, reservations are needed especially for the weekends. Free WIFI, firewood, drinking water. Cost is $20.00 per standard two person tent per night. A public bath house is not available, but Port-A-Potties are on site. Eno stands are available.
