For the camping part of this question go to "camping, where and where not to go" then as far as fishing, blue creek or do a forum search in the river fishing section for the cow.

You can camp at blue creek in the parking lot if i'm not mistaken, but no fires. If you really want a good shot at catching these fish i suggest sending PMs to a couple of the people in the know down there. OFFDAAHOOK seems to be pulling fish out of there on a regular basis he could probably help you out.

Blue creek is a really nice place to camp and hang out, glow ball all night then fish during the day while half asleep. I think I have seen people with fires before but I think they have to be contained. Just don't forget your cannonballs and corkies.
