Cocodrie vs. Grand Isle--where would you rather a camp? best fishing?

Both are great.

GI if you have family. Cocodrie if it's just a "fishing" camp

Your $$ will go further in Cocodrie and the inshore fishing us better. Much longer run to get to to reef fish from Cocodrie. Toss up.

If money isn't an issue and you like offshore fishing more, GI.

If money is an issue or your prefer inshore.... Cocodrie.

Cocodrie has a Pizza Express. I choose Cocodrie

I love my place on Grand Isle! Fishing is great but I love that when its windy or wet there's plenty friends on the island and we just boil crabs or fry fish/shrimp and chillax! But having plenty activity & people can be a bummer, fishing on Saturdays in the summer in Grand Isle is treacherous!!!

GI for sure. You can go to great fishing without even having a boat. must have a boat in Cocodrie.

Never fished out of Cocodrie but always had camp on Grand Isle. Nice for the family and easy access to offshore. it seems like 3/4 of the camps are for sale but the prices are unbelievable

I like marsh fishing, and grew up closer to Cocodrie, so I love it there. Have friends with camps in Grand Isle. If you fish offshore more, Grand Isle. If you fish inshore more with a few trips offshore here and there, Cocodrie.

Uncle just built in the Coco Marina's new section and to be honest, he did a bit of the work himself and it came out to be reasonable. In the summer, you can walk to the Marina and get drinks and pretty good food. That's the life to me. Cousin has a camp further up the bayou that was great until they built the levee. It's still fine, but it would definitely be nicer if they had a lock closer to his boat slip. If I were buying there, that would be a priority. You have to leave 15 minutes earlier just to idle the bayou now.

Grand isle for me. Much better for a family spot as everyone has said. You have the beach, a snowball stand, golf carts riding everywhere, various restaurants and bars and just a cool vibe to me. Plus great fishing. They both have great fishing but cocodrie doesn't have as much extra things to do like grand isle. And a lot of good road side, surf, and bridge fishing as well, so even if you don't have a boat you can catch fish/crabs. Much closer to offshore fishing and still not far at all to good marsh fishing. That may be biggest drawback is not as much accessible marsh close by but it's not all that far away either.

But if you don't have a family that would ever want to go, and you need to be fishing in the marsh in less than a 5 minute boat ride than maybe cocodrie is a better option.
