Brief Overview: 
In a deep water cove just west of the dam of Richland Chambers Reservoir is Fisherman's Point Marina & Resort. Fisherman's point has campsites and fishing cabins on the water, pontoon and waverunner rentals, a fishing lodge, a marina with gas, a good restaurant, and a small country store.

This is a great place to camp and explore, ski/board, or fish Richland Chambers. If you don't want to camp, the small fishing cabins are good for sleeping 4 people. Fisherman's point is well maintained and the staff is attentive.

Richland Chamber is one of the largest and best fishing lakes in Texas. There are some beautiful homes along the shoreline, some good coves for skiing/tubing/boarding, and plenty of big fish just waiting for you. Read the review of Richland Chambers to learn more about this lake.

Amenities and Fun Things To Do:
If you like to camp on the water, Fisherman's point has some good RV sites which are about 30 to 100 yards from the water. A few of the sites have a concrete pad, others are a gravel driveway and it may be a little difficult to get your rig level. Some trees have been planted, but in general the sites that are on the water are open. The shoreline is hard mud and conducive to swimming and overnight boat parking. There are a total of 38 sites with water and electricity (a mixture of 30 and 50 AMP) and 19 have septic hookups. The 19 sites that have sewer hookups are a short walk up a hill and they are in an area with trees. There is also a peninsula for primitive camping.

Fisherman's Point has 9 cabins that sleep 4 in queens, full, or twins beds. The cabins have a loft, microwave, mini-refrig, TV, and bathroom. All linens are provided. Outside you'll find a deck, grill, and picnic table. Four of the cabins are 40 yards from the water. Each of the rooms clean and have a different decor and themes including a Coca Cola, sports, western, and safari theme.

Fisherman's Point also has a four bedroom lodge with a living area, fully equipped kitchen, 2 full baths, 3 half baths, and sleeping accommodations for up to 12 people. The lodge has a nice deck, outdoor hot tube, grill, and picnic table.

The combination of cabins, camping, and lodge is perfect for a family and friends gathering, a reunion, corporate retreat, or fishing excursion with some good buds.

Some of the other amenities at Fisherman's Point include:

• marina with gas and dual lane boat ramp
• ships store with snacks, fishing tackle and bait, ice, and more
• pontoon, waverunner, canoe, and paddle-boat rentals
• restroom and showers
• playground and sand volleyball
• protected swimming area

Fisherman's Point has a very good restaurant, with good food at very reasonable rates, and dining with a view of the lake. They also sponsor some fishing tournaments and fun annual events with food vendors, games, and music. There are plans to add covered boat storage with a valet service - call ahead and the boat will be in the water waiting for your arrival - how good is that!

A Typical Texas Outsider Day:

We come to Fisherman's Point to enjoy Richland Chambers Reservoir. We enjoy cruising by the beautiful houses on the south side of the lake and finding a cove for skiing/boarding/tubing or swimming. At South Port Marina there was a fun restaurant and bar with live music on the weekends that we have enjoyed - on our last visit it was closed and changing hands. So call South Port Marina before you head over there.

Cool Nearby Activities:
Richland Chambers is about 90 miles south of Dallas, about 10 miles from Corsicana, and 30 miles from Athens. We have not found a whole lot to do in Corsicana or Athens. Here is what we can tell you about what there is to see and do within 50 miles:

• Corsicana has the famous Collin Street Bakery, some historic homes, the Navarro Pecan Company, an opera house, and some ok restaurants
• Gander Mountain is near the lake if you need any sports, fishing, or outdoor gear
• Athens has the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center with a 300,000 gallon aquarium
• check here for a list of nearby golf courses - the one we like best is The Brickyard - you can move the map any direction to find a nearby course
• if you have an ATV, try the nearby Rural Shade ATV Ranch

If you like to fish, Richland Chambers is one of the best. If you don't have a boat, there are a number of fishing guides that work out of Fisherman's Point, check here for a list of fishing guides.
