Hello there,
Welcome to Camp Big Daddy
From our family to yours,
a family-friendly fishing camp on beautiful Lake Catherine
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, fishing-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.
