Shell Island Fish Camp

4 stars because the prices are right, motel clean, great location
We try to book this hidden gem every scallop season. Yeh, the motel isn’t the Hilton but this is a fish camp! Clean, cold air conditioned rooms after a long day on the water is great. They offer a nice bait/​ship store with super friendly people. We enjoy renting their 24′ center consoles. They’re super fast, stable, easy to operate, and reliable. Not only can some of our group find scallops but others fish for trout while we drift along the grassy flats of St. Marks. Other amenities include a covered fillet station with running fresh water, trailer parking, joining rooms, etc…
Tip: Try to book a cottage. Two rooms and a screened porch but they book very early in the season. Also, if you see the cute little otter swimming around while your filleting your fish, toss him a few fish scraps. Adorable!

I love this place. Great people that treat you like family. The place is full service with bait store, hotel, camping, and picnic area. I would send anyone i know or meet to this place if they are looking for a true old style affordable fishing vacation.
