Camp Durrwood

Gorgeous property. So secluded. Perfect for a group camping trip. Great hiking trial in the back of the property if you look to the right up the hill when you get to the end of the path. We had dogs up there and they got to roam free - such a blast. Host was very responsive and directions were clear. RV and tent are awesome.

Camping bliss

We loved the entire property set up. It was a good mix between dispersed camping and having comfortable amenities. The porta-potty was super clean and having the RV as an option to sleep in or for storage was very convenient. Also the hammocks and solar powered lights made for a super cute camping ambiance. We had a great time (:

Camp Durrwood

Camp Durrwood was incredible, and the host, Walid, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was nothing short of amazing. The campsite is perfect for large groups with its ample space for multiple tents and parking. It felt very private and secluded - deep into the woods with no neighbors or other campers for what felt like miles. There is no running water or flush toilets, but the portable toilet on site was the cleanest one I have ever been in. Walid is very easy to communicate with, and he blew my expectations away with his hospitality and just how well prepared the site was for our visit. This was one of the best camping experiences I ever had. I would definitely book again. Thank you Walid!

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.
