About Us
A place built for
those who come to
leave everything else behind.
Fisherman's Wharf Campgrounds & Marina sits on the quiet eastern shore of Lake Cherokee in Malakoff, Texas. We've spent years refining what it means to offer a genuinely unhurried lakeside experience — from the moment you pull into a full-hookup site to the morning you cast off from your private slip.
Whether you're here for a weekend of fishing, a week-long family reunion, or a season-long retreat, our property is designed around one principle: the water should feel like yours.

On the Water & Beyond
What you'll do
when you arrive.
Fishing
Lake Cherokee is known for largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish. Our marina staff can point you to the best spots for the season.
Hiking & Trails
Miles of wooded trails wind through the property and connect to nearby state lands. Wildflowers in spring, brilliant colors in fall.
Family Gatherings
Spacious sites and cabins make this a natural spot for reunions, birthday parties, and multi-generational trips.
Stargazing
No streetlights, no highway noise. Just clear Texas skies and the kind of darkness that makes the Milky Way visible to the naked eye.
We don't run a resort. We run a place where the water is calm, the sites are clean, and nobody rushes you to check out. Come as you are — and stay as long as you need.
