Campo’s Marina is the oldest family-owned business in St. Bernard Parish and one of the top ten oldest family-owned businesses still operating in Louisiana today, founded in 1903 by the late Celestino Campo. Located at the end of Bayou Yscloskey in Shell Beach, the marina is currently owned and operated by 4th-generation commercial fisherman Robert Campo, alongside his father and brother — more than 120 years serving both recreational and commercial fishermen.

The marina is strategically positioned to put boats on the best action in Lake Borgne, the MRGO, the ICW, and especially the famed Biloxi Marsh, holding a vast array of holes and ponds for speckled trout and redfish. With plenty of parking and fewer crowds than other area marinas, Campo’s offers a quick, low-hassle launch and recovery experience, plus a rare added perk for early risers: an on-site bathroom. Campo’s is also the only marina on that side of St. Bernard offering gas, oil, ice, and bait delivery right to the boat at the dock, and is genuinely known among local guides for having the freshest, healthiest, most generously counted live shrimp in the area.

Beyond fuel, bait, and tackle, the marina offers a food trailer serving meals Thursday through Sunday and on-site camper availability for overnight stays. Robert Campo also operates his own oyster business alongside the marina, with two oyster boats and nearly 1,500 acres of oyster grounds, and has been featured in national media, including an NBC Nightly News segment on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill’s impact on Louisiana fishing families.

Guest reviews consistently describe a welcoming, family-run atmosphere, with the Campo family treating every visitor like a friend, alongside competitive live bait and fuel pricing.

For anglers near Shell Beach/St. Bernard Parish looking for a historic, deeply trusted marina for fuel, bait, tackle, and launch access into the Biloxi Marsh, Campo’s Marina offers a genuinely legendary, more than century-old operation with the Campo family.
