There is a motel in town, some cabins, lodges, and various campgrounds in the area. Quiet Oaks is the closest campground, but there are others - use an online search to locate.

I went yesterday mainly to check out the area and the snake hunt. Maybe a dozen table with rifles and shotguns. Really no ammo or handguns. The only money I spent was on food and raffle tickets. I'll try to make it back next year but mainly just for the snake hunt and other vendors. The chance to check out some guns is just an added bonus.
