It was called Grand Bayou Pass. It's all closed up now. I guess it was about 6 or 7 years ago, it just closed up on its own. Shell Island is still there, but it's all washed out on the East end. We had the last camp on the left as you exited Bayou Cook into Bay Bastian. I'm not familiar with the term, "Party Town", but I wonder if our camp was part of that. My great grandfather Peter Rozich was an oysterman there and he had a camp on Bayou Cook until his death in 1955. My dad spent a lot of time out there visiting "The Old Man". Got a lot of great stories from dad there. My great grandmother, Pavli was born in a camp on Bayou LaChute. Our camp is now nothing but pilings in open water. The marsh is going, going, almost gone.
