Who we are

Mary’s Fish Camp has been a beloved Gulf Coast landmark since 1946. Tucked along the Mud River in Bayport, Florida, the camp sits where two natural springs—Mud River Spring and Salt Spring—flow toward the Weeki Wachee River and out to the Gulf of Mexico. These spring-fed waters are famous for their abundant fish, especially the mullet that migrate right past the camp.

For decades, time stood still at Mary’s. Little changed since its founding, and that’s exactly what made it special—a true slice of “Old Florida,” shaded by oaks and surrounded by the quiet beauty of the coast.

After closing in 2010, the camp sat vacant until September 2015, when a group of local businessmen and sportsmen came together with a shared goal: to revive Mary’s Fish Camp and preserve this historic treasure for future generations. Thanks to their efforts, Mary’s is once again a place where families can relax, fish, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life on the river.

Come visit, take in the view, and enjoy an RC Cola and a Moon Pie by the water. Experience a piece of Florida’s heritage brought back to life.
