Went out for a birthday trip on the 19 ' bass boat which was supposed to be from 8-5 pm. When you…read morebook an email gets sent that says to arrive 15 minutes early for convenience, when we arrived at 7:45 we were told that our boat wasn't here yet but we still had to go in and pay. After 45 minutes we were told that it would be another 30 minutes and if the boat wasn't here we would get "A way cooler boat with better equipment." That boat turned out to be the cheaper, worse option but nevertheless we got the boat we paid for and got it to the ramp. The dude was nice and spent another 30 minutes trying to get the motor to start but as we were about to get on the water he made some unprofessional comments about us which were no where near to true just because we wanted to fish different spots and use a bigger glide bait that he didn't directly recommend however the whole business isn't professional so that isn't surprising. Finally we made it out on the water just to learn that he took one of the two screen off just because and also took the transducer which is what makes live scope work for anyone who doesn't know so we were met with that challenge which wasn't to bad but just the fact we didn't get what we paid for. Around 2 hours into our trip and a bad bite so far we were going to move to a new spot and we found that our main motor would only go backward due to some bracket disconnect which was not our fault. after spending an hour trolling to the nearest ramp and another 30 minute repair we were ready to go out and try to find some bite. That ended quickly when we moved just to the second spot after the repair(15 minutes after) and we were going to go just across a cove when our motor completely broke not letting us go forward or backwards for the same reason as before which he apparently "Fixed to a tee." we gave him multiple calls with no answer then the office, nothing either so we attempted to troll to the nearest ramp which ended with a dead trolling motor battery halfway there and us drifting to a random bank basically stranded for 1.5 hours till we tried to call with a different number and were picked up immediately and the owner was " on the way soon." After another hour wait we called off the original phone to no response however we were thinking he was ghosting us so 10 seconds later we grabbed a friends phone and he answered immediately thinking it was a new client. He said he had forgotten which is absolutely crazy to me that someone could say that but nonetheless he was there 30 minutes later even though it is a 5 minute drive. in that 30 minutes though we looked to see what else was missing from the boat so the picture below are the "Best condition storage and highly maintained live well." Anyway after we got picked up and 6 out of our 9 hour trip waisted and no fish caught which is the only thing which isn't fully there fault we got dropped off at our truck and when we asked for a 50% discount because we didn't get half of what we paid for he said "yeah yeah sure whatever" after 5 minutes of arguing and now we have basically been completely ghosted on all three numbers. Overall this place seems to have some good reviews but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a guide instead or literally anything that isn't this crappy business the literal only thing they have is that the guys are at least nice and they are somehow the only retal place around.

I had my boat at another place that is about 15 minutes from these guys, but that shop was unable (unwilling?) to work on my motor. They recommended J&J due to the age of my motor. Just got my boat back from them and the work was done fairly quickly - it took a couple of weeks, but that is WAY better than the 4-6+ weeks some of the places closer to me quoted. Pricing was fair all around (parts & accessories inside as well as the work performed). I will be back.

I rented a cabin for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. Booking the cabin online was easy and…read moreconvenient. A week before we arrived, I called to let them know that we were bringing a 10lb chihuahua mix. The girl on the phone went over the pet policy, which was pretty standard and understandable. About three days before we were supposed to arrive, my boyfriend wanted us to get there a day early so I called Pope's Landing to see if we could get the cabin a day earlier than planned. The girl told me that they were booked and completely busy, etc. No big deal since I knew it was relatively last minute so I wasn't expecting a "yes". We arrived on Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty empty. I saw one couple walking their dog and a family fishing nearby. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had been busy and she said no. Kind of odd since I got the exact opposite information two days before, so this kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Whatever, no big deal. The woman helped me with finding a restaurant for dinner and the nearest grocery store to pick up some snacks and I was able to rent a boat slip for $10 a night. The cabins look exactly like the pictures. This is a good thing, in my opinion. You get what you see. The floors and sheets were clean, I'm pretty low maintenance so it doesn't take much to please me. The cabin had a full kitchen: microwave, oven, fridge, a grill and fire pit out front, and even dishes and silverware if you're planning on cooking. The WiFi was a little spotty, but the woman at the front desk warned me about that, so at least I got a warning? Besides, we spent most of the weekend boating and fishing. The cabin had Dish/Satellite TV. The TV channels in white were the ones that worked/have access to. I was told that housekeeping would come in the next day to replace our sheets, but they didn't come in until late afternoon. My dog liked the lake and I had to give her a bath. I used a towel to get the dirt off the dog. Housekeeping assumed the dirty towel was because my dog had an accident. I told them that I had to clean the dog. They charged me $250 for the cleaning fee. I'd think that the housekeeping wouldn't know the difference between dog accidents because of the smell of dog waste, but I'm sure they'll believe the opinion of their cleaning crew over my truth. I'd probably lodge here again, if we were to visit Lake Fork again, but mostly because there aren't that many options for lodging. As nice as the place was, I kind of expected more. I guess I wished I had a more pleasant or more welcoming experience..?

It was only five dollars a person to get in for the day. The main office was very clean and organized and the bathrooms were clean and we also purchased a few keepsakes. I am not an RVer but they have lots of nice shady spots. Some that are pull through and some you have to back into. It looked like all of the spots had a gazebo type cover. They also have cabins you can rent out; some thing my wife and I discussed for the future. It was very quiet and covered in a lot of trees and seemed like a very nice place to camp. As we drove out, we had the unexpected surprise of seeing 3 deer in one spot and two more in another.

Some moments in nature are too precious to recount - too difficult to write into a review. If you live in the city like I do, these moments are a much-needed fuel - so rich and refreshing!! Based on this second experience at Cooper Lake State Park - South Sulfur Unit, I HIGHLY recommend an overnight cabin stay! **Cabins can be booked a maximum of three months in advance.** Equipped with full restrooms including powerful, hot showers, two full beds (must bring own linens for all needs), a futon, 4-top table and chairs, 3/4 fridge/freezer combo, drip coffee maker, stove top with two heating elements, AC and heat, a back balcony with grill and picnic table, and a lakeside fire pit, we wanted for NOTHING and ENJOYED IT ALL!

Maybe I'm not carved from the same metal as Texans from East Texas. Despite being an avid swimmer, I haven't yet warmed up to the idea of swimming in a lake where alligators have been sighted. But hey, to each their own! I've swam in the ocean many times. Sharks have been spotted there so maybe this is similar!? Just know that you can potentially knock "swimming with alligators" off of your bucket list by swimming at this lovely beach;). This beach park also includes gravel parking and four, nicely spaced shelters with picnic tables and grills, not a bad place to spend an afternoon or evening;)
