Welcome to The Spotted Tail
Were opening our familys camp to your family! Relax waterside. Experience why Louisiana is known as Sportman’s Paradise. Built with 1940’s craftsmanship & charm, The Spotted Tail is the oldest camp on Calcasieu Lake (Big Lake)and recently updated with today’s comforts. True Waterfront! The main lake is only steps from the back door. Come enjoy your catch of the day and a camp fire right next to the water or just relax in the hammock under the patio cover.
Not your Basic Bougie Bunkhouse
The Spotted Tail has real Charm & Character!
This camp has:
- 2 Stories
- 3 Bedrooms
- 2 Bathrooms
- 6 Double Beds
- Need more space? Bring your camper! Ask about the space, hook up, and pricing before booking for additional RV.
And LOTS of beautiful natural light overlooking the lake through old world windows.
WHERE YOUR CREW WILL SLEEP
① The Captains Quarters downstairs has one full size bed and is adjacent to the 1st bathroom.
② The Crows Nest upstairs is an open loft area with 3 full size beds and a stunning 270° view of the beautiful salt life that you are about to enjoy when you book The Spotted Tail.
③ The Crews Quarters upstairs has two full size beds and is adjacent to the 2nd bathroom.
WHERE YOUR CREW WILL COOK
The Galley is a fully stocked kitchen with whatever cookware youll need to prepare your crews meals during your stay. All new stainless fridge, stove, and microwave. Pots, Pans, Baking Pans, Dishes, Cast Iron Skillet & Large Dutch Oven, Cutting Board, Knives, Flatware... you name it. Its stocked.
There is a coffee bar with Kureg and provided Kcups to get you started for the day. We also have a traditional coffee pot if you prefer to bring some freshly ground coffee. Instant Fisherman... Just add coffee!
WHERE YOUR CREW WILL RELAX
The living room area is set up for whatever you are in the mood for. If youre just looking to lounge, it has a lot of seating. Furnished with a couch & loveseat, padded chairs, and swivel mounted TV to service the room from any angle. If you know when to holdem and know when to foldem while enjoying a cold libation then this room is for you too because, in addition to the plush seating, it is also furnished with a card table & chairs(10), an antique dry bar, and a unique bistro pub table with stools. Youll find several board games in the coffee table storage. (Video games upstairs in The Crows Nest)
WHERE YOUR CREW WILL EXPERIENCE SPORTSMANS PARADISE
Outdoor just steps from the water, youll find a picnic table and benches, covered patio area, hammock, fire ring, large unique charcoal grill, and sink area. Please excuse the unfinished siding on the patio addition as we are still bouncing back from the hurricanes. Louisiana Strong! Also we keep a fish cleaning table out by the water which is protected from the sun by a patio umbrella while you clean your daily catch.

As a blended family of 9 we truly cherish the time we can spend at the camp with our whole family. We want the same for you and yours but please be aware that The Spotted Tail is directly on the water with a concrete bulkhead. There is no fence separating the back yard area and the lake. Adult supervision is required.

No events allowed
No smoking allowed
Absolutely no smoking indoors! That includes any tobacco products, vaping, and 420. There is plenty of room in the great outdoors for that but please leave the outdoor area as you found it. With no cigarette butts.
No Parking
We recently put in a large rock parking area. Plenty of room for a couple of boats and a few vehicles. The area just to the south of the camp is public parking as well & right at the front door and back fence gate for easy loading and unloading of your groceries & gear. Feel free to park any additional vehicles there but be mindful of others using that area.
