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.

Welcome to Soultribe! A new community-in-the-making in the heart of the sweet south of Mchenry, MS - only 24 miles from the white sandy beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (the world’s longest man-made beach)! We bought this property in April 2025 after working hard and long on a decade-long dream come true! It’s a fully wooded, 4 acre L-shaped property, currently home to two residents - myself and my daughter. Every day we are working hard to cut pathways and new campsites for visitors, travelers, and potential community members. Eventually we will host events, classes, workshops, retreats, and festivals. We are still in the earliest stages of building, so it’s a very rustic, off-grid experience, and with more visitors, we plan to build cabins and install solar and water collection systems, so we can have outdoor showers, natural pools, outhouses, community areas, a retreat center, and shops for community members to run their businesses from. We are following food forest and permaculture methods instead of traditional gardening, and our long-term vision for this land is a new garden of Eden! We need all the help we can get, so we also offer volunteer trade opportunities to anyone interested. Or, if you just need a place to step back from the busy hub of society, ground and reconnect with nature, Soultribe is the sanctuary for you! You may utilize the little spaces we currently have available for camping, or get in touch with your primal nature, explore our woods and cut down your own trail and campsite. We will be present to assist in any way, open to sharing and communal activities - or we can offer you solitude and privacy during your trip… it’s entirely up to you! Come create heaven with us… send your booking inquiry today!

Welcome to Soultribe! A new community-in-the-making in the heart of the sweet south of Mchenry, MS - only 24 miles from the white sandy beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (the world’s longest man-made beach)! We bought this property in April 2025 after working hard and long on a decade-long dream come true! It’s a fully wooded, 4 acre L-shaped property, currently home to two residents - myself and my daughter. Every day we are working hard to cut pathways and new campsites for visitors, travelers, and potential community members. Eventually we will host events, classes, workshops, retreats, and festivals. We are still in the earliest stages of building, so it’s a very rustic, off-grid experience, and with more visitors, we plan to build cabins and install solar and water collection systems, so we can have outdoor showers, natural pools, outhouses, community areas, a retreat center, and shops for community members to run their businesses from. We are following food forest and permaculture methods instead of traditional gardening, and our long-term vision for this land is a new garden of Eden! We need all the help we can get, so we also offer volunteer trade opportunities to anyone interested. Or, if you just need a place to step back from the busy hub of society, ground and reconnect with nature, Soultribe is the sanctuary for you! You may utilize the little spaces we currently have available for camping, or get in touch with your primal nature, explore our woods and cut down your own trail and campsite. We will be present to assist in any way, open to sharing and communal activities - or we can offer you solitude and privacy during your trip… it’s entirely up to you! Come create heaven with us… send your booking inquiry today!
