it would have to be a very well protected area with lots of surrounding land to even think about it

look at it this way, anything remotely live in usable condition, even in rough condition, will cost as much, and most likely a lot more than buying a floating camp barge with generator and tow it wherever you want it. you can move it as land around it gets eroded, the fishing gets worse and you move to a better area, or just to get it out of the way of hurricanes.

look at this one selling for $60k

Floating camp set upon a 25'x45'x4' raked bow steel barge. 2BR, 1 bath with step in shower, walk-in storage closet, Central A/C & heat. 12.5kw Onan diesel genset, spud towers, compartmentalize storage within barge, sanitation system, shore power cable, Direct TV capable, 42" flat screen LG TV, microwave, gas stove, icebox. Easy to move around with outboards

I wouldn’t buy anywhere down there with the intensity of storms the last couple years, inability to get insurance, and eroding marsh. If I were looking for a place, I’d Lease some land, put up a bigass RV cover and pull in a travel trailer. Make the cover big enough to include a porch/outdoor kitchen area to hang out, and build out a shed.

Buy in the Levee protection area is all I got…

I grew up in Dulac and even I’m not rebuilding our home that was destroyed.

Find a “camp” inside the levee system.

I have a real “camp” in Grand Isle that was lucky enough to survive Ida with moderate damage, but I am amazed at the people that spend $500k plus for places in Grand Isle and similar places. With insurance costs and the frequency/ferocity of hurricanes the last few years it seems like it’s just a matter of time. I love the coast but it’s getting tougher and tougher to justify the investment.

Those RV pavilions are blowing up in Dularge. Id def own there if I could...

Once the freshwater diversion messes up the fishing in a lot of areas there will be a lot of people wishing they had a place in Cocodrie/Dulac.

True, my buddy finished his camp 2 months before Ida, the walls on his storage room downstairs had a little damage but not even enough to file an insurance claim.
