The Legacy of Camp Big Daddy
Camp Big Daddy has been in our family for more than 65 years. It has weathered Hurricane Betsy and Hurricane Camille, been rebuilt after a fire in 1967, only to rebuilt again after Hurricane Katrina. Through it all, it has remained the place our family returns to — to fish and crab, to boil seafood, to swim, and to gather — right on the edge of beautiful Lake Catherine.
More than "just a camp," our camp is where our family reconnects — where generations have gone to make fond memories. It stands as a testament to resilience, tradition, and the simple joy of being together by the water. We hope you’ll come experience it for yourself and allow Camp Big Daddy to become a meaningful part of your own family’s story.
Amenities
Camp Big Daddy has three charming bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a fully stocked kitchen — including two electric fryers and a Margaritaville mixer. Inside, you’ll also find high-speed internet, two smart TVs, a cozy living room with plenty of seating, a Bluetooth speaker, and a queen-size air mattress.
Outside, the camp has an enormous 300-foot pier, a covered back porch, fish-cleaning stations, a barbecue grill, bright fishing lights for better catches, ten crab traps, and two boat docks — everything you need to enjoy life on the water.
