Buying a Camp??? Yes or No

I've been throwing around the idea of buying a camp in the next couple of years. I will retire soon from the military and will move back to south La. I want to get opinions from the OB on if its worth owning, leasing, or just not a good idea all together. My ideal location would be around the Theriot/Cocodrie area. I'll hang up and listen.

Dont know that area in particular, but think it is well worth it if its an area you want to spend time. Not sure I would buy before I moved though, because of up keep.

Where would you live?
In reality, how much do you think you would actually use the camp?
Are you retiring from work or do you plan on having a job?
Kids?

Make sure you figure all of your costs before you go through with it. Check with someone who has a camp in that area. There are always hidden costs.
Insurance will be high as hell in that area.
If you'll be retired and can afford it, go for it. Nothing like owning your own. You can up and go whenever you want and do whatever you want to make it exactly how you want it. It can be your own little paradise.
On the flip side you have to worry about theft, vandalism, upkeep, hurricanes, and a bunch of other shite.

I would say go for it. BUT, Slickback is right. There are always hidden costs that can add up real fast.

Get something nice and just live in it. No reason to just camp there.

great prices on camps in the cocodrie area right now, I'd love to buy a camp but it's hard to justify it when I have 5 I can use when I want(parents and inlaws).

I can't imagine the insurance property rates and flood rates being too friendly with these camps.

Best thing I've ever done. I've had more enjoyment out of my camp than I ever imagined. Cocodrie is a good spot with lots of water to fish. It rarely gets crowded.
We lease land from Conoco Phillips but have a camp built on the land. Insurance is impossible to get, so nothing is nice, but the camp is everything I need and want at this stage in my life. It's nice enough for the ole lady to want to come periodically but not nice enough where she wants to come all the time.
