About this property
Lakefront - Real Fish Camp - Reel Fishermen
Welcome to "The Spotted Tail".
We're opening our family's camp to your family! Relax waterside. Experience why Louisiana is known as Sportman’s Paradise. Built with 1940’s craftsmanship & charm, The Spotted Tail is the oldest camp on Calcasieu Lake (Big Lake) and recently updated with today’s comforts. It's located within sight of the boat launch at Hebert's Landing and is true Waterfront! The main lake is only steps from the back door. Come enjoy your catch of the day and a camp fire right next to the water or just relax in the hammock under the patio cover.
Need more room for your group? Bring your camper! Ask about the space before booking.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by David
Hello! My name is David and my wife is Crystal. She has lived in Lake Charles her entire life and has been heavily involved in the community so she is your “go to” with questions about places, events, people, etc… I am a transplant from Texas since 2004. I definitely call Louisiana home as well. Do you have any questions about why we’re called “Sportsman’s Paradise?” Come at me bro! Heck, if I’m free I’ll take you fishing with me during your stay.
We have a large blended family and our world revolves around family life. We absolutely love traveling with VRBO ourselves because it allows the flexibility to travel affordably as a family in the comfortability of a home.
Feel free to book with us instantly or reach out if you have any questions or want to chat about anything in the Lake Charles area.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood has a "retirement" like feel to it. You will see the occasional golf cart cruising the quiet streets. Fisherman launch only a few hundred yards away from the camp at the nearby marina.
What makes this property unique
The camp itself is a bit of a legend in the area. 1940's craftsmanship. There are even newspaper articles of a married couple breaking into the camp to ride out hurricane Audrey when they got trapped in the area as it made landfall in the '50s! Such a cool camp! Story has it that the camp has withstood so many major hurricanes because it was built by a mason who laid bricks and rebar for Angola prison. This original structure was built with the same fortress like craftsmanship.
