Camp Durrwood

Forest oasis

We had such a lovely time at Camp Durrwood. First, Walid was the most responsive host and answered all of my questions and even blocked 4th of July week for us while I got my crew together. He was there to meet us when we arrived and showed us around making sure we were comfortable. The site is secluded with National Forest land surrounding it. We had some great hikes, visited Jenks lake and the nearby streams. The best part is we were free to relax, recharge and enjoy the forest. This spot is truly a gem. Can’t wait to visit again.

Peaceful Retreat

Great site for any size group, really. Nice central spot to hangout after dark, under the lights or the stars, and heading deeper into the property moves you out of earshot from the road. Very peaceful, very quiet.

Walid is awesome, very helpful and responsive. Love the site and is well kept. Has 3 table benches for use, fire ring, and RV you can sleep in if you want to. The site is huge and can do a lot of exploring. Definitely recommended

Camp Durrwood

Best camping trip so far.

Our group had a wonderful camping experience at Durwood. We had a whole 20 acres of land to ourselves, we cooked, we laughed, we went for a hike and most of all, we relaxed and got to spend some fun time with our doggies in this private campground. Walid is such a wonderful host and prompt to answer all our questions and provided us with everything that we need for a comfortable and peaceful camping. I highly recommend staying at the campground and would definitely come back here again in the near future.

Men’s Retreat!

My men’s church group recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend at Camp Durrwood, and it was an experience that deeply touched each of us. The rustic charm and untouched natural beauty of this campground provided the perfect environment for reflection, bonding, and personal growth. The dispersed camping sites were not designated so you got to choose your own site, which was a cool aspect of Camp Durrwood. The simplicity of the setup, with just the basics, encouraged us to focus on the essentials and truly appreciate the natural surroundings. The lack of modern amenities like electricity and running water was a welcome change that fostered a deeper connection with nature and each other. Most of our group have never camped before so this was a perfect first time experience that we will never forget. Camp Durrwood was well maintained, 3 picnic tables, a clean porta potty and some string lights for some beauty night ambiance. And having the RV was a nice place to store some stuff and a couple people called it home for the night. Jenks Lake ($5 cash parking) was another great time that is only 10 minutes away. There is fishing, kayaking, no swimming, and tons of picnic tables for a nice bbq lunch. Camp Durrwood is private, secluded, and just awesome, I highly recommend.
