Camp Strongwood offers a peaceful retreat with a mix of rustic charm and cozy amenities. Most campers appreciate the seclusion and natural beauty, with Chris, the groundskeeper, often praised for his hospitality and attentiveness. While there are some concerns about cleanliness and the state of disarray due to ongoing construction, the overall experience is positive, with highlights like kayaking on the lake and relaxing by the campfire. However, visitors should be mindful of potential encounters with local wildlife and the lack of marked trails for hiking.

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.

What a great place to spend some time and get back to nature. The land was beautiful and well maintained. The Lake side camping spot we stayed at was just awesome, great view and no artificial lighting at all. The sites caretaker had the area ready for us with firewood we ordered delivered and stacked by the fire ring. We enjoyed the hiking trail and fishing.

While maps may not take you exactly there it gets you close enough and the red gate is clearly marked. Plenty of room to roam nice and peaceful place to kick back and relax.
