National forest 43mi from Buckatunna · 79 sites
Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.

Trip was awesome. River was very high when we went. Still enjoyed and had a great time. Land is spotless no trash from previous guests. Ran into some people who live nearby that were extremely nice and even offered to help us out if we get stuck. The drive onto the sand is a little steep but with an4x4 you should be fine. If you can’t get right on the sand there is a place you can stay not far that almost any car can get to. 10/10 would recommend

Great backwoods camping/overnight spot woth accesd to beautiful sandbar on the Escatawpa River. We visited with B+ camper, 8ft wide, 10 ft tall, 24 ft long and this is probably the size limit to prevent overhead and side limbs from scratching your camper on the access path. Very quiet site, and host provided good directions to access the site in the dark.

We cannot say enough about how beautiful Vikrum’s land was. It was so peaceful and quiet and the river view and beaches were amazing. We had a little difficulty finding the initial turn off from the dirt road but the GPS directions lead us right to it. We just didn’t listen to them 🙄. The trail to the campsite was totally passable for a Tacoma and a grand Highlander. We loved it and so did our pups! We will totally be back. Thank you for a wonderful little break from reality!

My fiance and I had a fantastic time on the river. It was secluded just like we wanted, quiet, the water was perfect!the drive down to the river was hard to navigate at some areas but we made it! Beautiful sandbar, didn't see a single person for 3 days. Perfect place if your looking to unplug for a few days!!

We’ve camped at this spot several times now, and every visit just reinforces why we keep coming back. The property is absolutely beautiful — serene, quiet, and nestled right on the banks of the Escatawpa River. Whether you’re relaxing by the water or waking up to the sounds of nature, it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel grounded and at peace.
The primitive camping setup is exactly what we love — no frills, just raw nature. It’s the perfect environment to unplug, reconnect, and even brush up on some survival skills. My two boys especially enjoy the experience; they’re always excited to explore the woods, learn new outdoor skills, and just be outside without the distractions of screens.
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape where you can truly disconnect and appreciate the natural world, this spot is a must. We’re already looking forward to our next trip.

Great place to spend with the family. Very quiet and peaceful. I love that you can pitch a tent just about anywhere from the beach to the woods whatever you prefer and still be right on the river. Will definitely be back and highly recommend to all my outdoor people.

Great campsite! We were able to tent camp in the shade of the woods and enjoy the sandbar on the river each day. Safe and clean. Isolated away from others which is what we prefer. Our dog loved it, too!

Loved the sand and the sound of the river. This spot is very unique and beautiful. Word of warning for those who have *full size pickup trucks* …. It takes some very skilled driving to get down to the water! Very sharp turn near the end of the road just before you get to the beach and not much room for error. And if it rains and the road gets muddy u better have 4WD I barely made it out on the morning I left the ground was fairly soggy. Just saying! Other than that there’s no spot like this one!

We arrived earlier than the scheduled check in and host allowed us to head to the site anyways which was great considering we had our young, tired kids with us. The off road wheeling (nothing crazy, but not just a dirt road either) to the site was fun and as others mentioned, you want a good 4wd vehicle to tackle it. The site itself is incredible; quiet, remote and beautiful. Do note there is virtually no cell service but we expected as much
Very pleased and excited to go back

Had a great weekend with a good friend and our two boys. Lots of area for kids to explore and play. The beach is always clean and also very secluded which is preferred fo me and my group. Only thing I could say would be maybe some better signage hard to find at night. But over all 9.5/10
