Building a camp in the marsh

Gimme an idea where your looking, Cameron, Vermilion, St Mary, Lafourche, at least a parish would help

Are you talking about a permanent camp? Like, something you can only boat to, but built to stand hurricanes?

Lots of people have had that idea. But you don't see many/any camps like that. The cost of building to that standard in the marsh is prohibitive. Would probably cost you $500 per square foot.

A much better solution would be to find an old barge. Build your camp on that. Then put a generator and a motor on it. Much cheaper, and you can move it around when a storm comes. Or when you want to change seasons.

I see all kinds of camps for sale or lease when I'm fishing. Why don't you go boat riding and look for some and get the contact info?

I have a marsh camp. Most leases are from oil companies. It's a huge pain in the arse to build or repair anything unless you live close by and have access to a large boat to haul lumber, etc. unless you can afford to pay someone to do it all.

Other than that, marsh camps are the shite.

...did I sell you a tracker earlier this year?

That's a damn nice looking camp Motorboat!

A barge might be the best idea, however was I on the right track about the state leasing marsh for camps?

as motorboat says, almost all marshland is owned by oil and gas companies and has typically been leased to the same folks for decades. I would say that your best bet would be to buy some piece of shite camp with the intention of tearing it down and rebuilding while taking over the existing lease.

expect to pay a premium to make this happen, though...
