We arrived after our long drive from Memphis, TN to enter into this Fish Camp and it was extremely clean and inviting. There is everything you need for your stay. We brought a lot of things with us that we ended up taking back because we didn't need it. The only drawback is sitting on the top deck in the afternoons. There are no ceiling fans on the deck area and each afternoon when the breeze is blowing it was blocked by the house, so sitting on the deck was unbearably hot. The sunset will be in your face for a little while but once the sun goes down, it's actually pleasant sitting outdoors. We didn't know how to turn on the deck lights and the sound on the TV just went out and we couldn't get it back. Another suggestion would be to have a book of instructions on how to operate electronics and lighting. Other than that, we enjoyed the house totally. Having our boat there in our private slip was well worth the price. While we did enjoy the accommodations and location, the marina is what killed it for us. We wanted to do some fishing and one day the marina was closed without warning.
For two days the marina had no live bait. For another two days they had no gas. We just kind of wandered around and had to rely on artificial lures for fishing and keep track of how much gas we used each day. The boat ramp is in an awkward location and if you're not careful you will get run over by other boaters. Being our first time fishing on Lake Calcasieu will also be our last. To avid fishermen, this place would be perfect for you. Location and house set up is perfect. Good luck to all on your future fishing trips. Thanks to the owner for allowing us to share his home.
