Only 3.1mi from Okatoma Outdoor Post. Woods with a small pond and small stream. At the end of a dead end road. You can get fresh water from our well at the house. Very quiet and peaceful. An outdoor toilet will be completed soon. Little to no cell service. If you are looking for a place to not be bothered, this is i

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.

Our stay was pretty much what we were looking for - secluded, quiet, and comfortable. The best part was the staff. They were beyond just friendly and professional, but were also very accommodating. They gave us a side-by-side tour of the property, let us borrow a phone charger, and even offered us fishing poles and bait to use in the two beautiful ponds. If you are looking for something secluded and quiet where you can just relax and enjoy nature, we strongly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Camp Strong Wood
Chris was terrific from the moment we arrived. The cabin was adequate for our needs and the outdoor kitchen on the porch was perfect. The land and the lake are beautiful. Fresh from the lake fish fried for dinner! A great getaway and we will be back.

1 night at Camp Strong Wood
I feel my words will prove inadequate to capture the essence of what Camp Strong Wood has to offer anyone who is fortunate enough to follow their sense of wonder into this beautiful land. If you are trying to have a human experience by going back to basics, without sacrificing civility and genuine hospitality - this is the place that needs to top your list.
The staff (Chris and Zoey) are wonderful and caring people who made us Floridians feel welcome from the moment we arrived late at night when they came out to greet us with a smile! The atmosphere of community, communication with the land and its creatures and features, and tangible love of what the do was so refreshing - people who are so grateful and blessed to call their stewardship of this acreage their livelihood.
Everything is sanitary and well-constructed with care. I loved my stay and will be back in the near future.
This place is well worth your time and money, highly recommend.
