Fantastic property with some unique ecological features, plenty of room to feel private or connected to other campers, and great accommodations. Highly recommend this for your next weekend getaway.

This was my favorite camping experience! My sister and I glamped at site 5, and I have nothing but good things to say. It was peaceful, secluded but not scary, and absolutely beautiful. We’ll be back soon!

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.

Loved my time here. Simple and natural. I felt cut off but more present. You don't need to know the time of day here.

Jordan and his community were very nice and welcoming. The campsite was private and the beds were comfortable. It was a beautiful place to stay and the lake was lovely to swim in.

This was such an interesting, educational glamping experience! We LOVED the trails with the QR codes to educational videos. The AC works great and was much needed yesterday. The space was exactly what we needed for a night! Also, they have the friendliest chickens I’ve ever encountered. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

We had a wonderful experience! We booked the Yurt and the micro cabin for a family trip and both spaces were beautiful and comfortable. At one point the water stopped working and the hosts worked continuously to get it fixed and it was resolved within the day. Great trails. Very kid-friendly as well.

The land is absolutely beautiful, pond was refreshing and peaceful. I stayed in the micro cabin which was great. I would recommend that you do bring all of your own cooking supplies as there wasn't everything there that was needed and the outside space is not covered so when it was raining I didn't have access to the little kitchen.

Amazing experience from the start to the finish. The host were very quick to answer any questions before we even arrived. We had a group of 10, and the cabins slept all of us comfortably and the A/C worked amazing. Any help/questions we needed, were swiftly handled/answered by the host couple. They were amazing. Having close access to the kitchen was definitely a plus, since our group had so much food. Firewood was readily available. Our group’s favorite party was the lake. You can tell the owners of this camp have really put time into making this a fun and comfortable place to relax. We will definitely be back, and there is talk with our friend group to make this an annual trip. Also enjoyed how dog friendly everything was. Highly recommended!

This was exactly what I had hoped for. The Yurt was very spacious. We really appreciated the piano being there. There was power to the Yurt, so we were able to charge our electronics. There were some bad storms our last night there, but we never felt unsafe. The Yurt is obviously well constructed and sturdy. It stayed cool enough during the day, thanks to it being in the shade and there's a wood stove if need be for cooler nights. We never needed it. The driveway to the site was easy enough in my all wheel drive SUV, but may be a bit tougher for smaller cars, especially if it is raining. We unfortunately didn't get to spend much time there during day light, so we didn't get to explore. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a kids group camp out planned, and even when plans fell through they were very accommodating. The kids truly enjoyed the yurt and the instruments. The land is beautiful, the trail very informative, and the pond was refreshing. We even reached out to do an extra-curricular activity for our kids, and Jordan was great!

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.

We had a magical time camping at the all you need institute. Jordan was really friendly, and accommodating. He was around if you needed anything but also we felt like we had privacy when we wanted. The pond is beautiful and we got in to cool off. We will definitely be back, and I would recommend to anyone I know! We clamped under the bell tent and the beds were really comfortable. There is also plenty of space for tent camping too if that’s what you’re looking for.

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.

The micro cabin was super cozy. The land was gorgeous. They are doing a wonderful job caring for the land and it shows. The lichen loop and all the trails were so nice to stroll. We loved sitting by the clear pond as well. The outdoor kitchen attached to the micro cabin was very useful and appreciated.

The micro cabin was terrific! The outdoor kitchen had everything I needed, the bed was comfy, the air conditioner saved me on a very muggy night, and the property was truly wonderful to experience. Really special place, and highly recommended!
