Coot Camp Lodge & Charters
Hidden deep in Bay Dogris, just south of Lafitte, Louisiana, the Coot Camp Lodge is a true diamond in the rough—where Louisiana’s marsh heritage meets modern comfort. Family-owned and operated since 1946, the Shell family has turned this off-grid retreat into one of the state’s most unique destinations for anglers, hunters, and travelers seeking the authentic Sportsman’s Paradise experience.
Accessible only by boat, the lodge sits 40 minutes into the marsh yet remains just 45 minutes from New Orleans. What began as a modest fishing shack three generations ago has grown into a fully modernized marsh lodge with solar power, Starlink Wi-Fi, hot showers, and sleeping space for up to six guests. From the elevated deck, panoramic views stretch for miles across Louisiana’s wetlands, offering the perfect backdrop for fishing, hunting, or simply escaping the noise of the outside world.
The charter side of Coot Camp is led by Captains Jason and Harrison Shell, who bring decades of guiding experience and a lifetime of local knowledge. Guests enjoy world-class inshore fishing for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, drum, and more. Every trip is built around catching, not just fishing, with professional guides who know how to put clients on the action.
Whether you’re booking an all-inclusive fishing package with lodging and meals, or simply staying at the lodge to enjoy the solitude of Bay Dogris, Coot Camp delivers an experience found nowhere else. It’s the rare balance of Louisiana history, family tradition, and modern comfort—all set against one of the most beautiful marsh landscapes in the world.
