River Camp Construction - Bogue Chitto
Posted on 3/30/21 at 9:59 am
Posted on 3/30/21 at 9:59 am
I've got a beautiful piece of land with a small camp on it on the Bogue Chitto outside of Summit, MS. Looking to do an expansion to accommodate my growing family/friends. Area is in a flood plain and the river definitely rises - curious if anyone has any experience or advice to offer me in these final decision making days before I go full throttle with this plan. Existing and proposed camp both built 10' up off the ground and in the storms of 2016/2017, the water got about 3' - 4' up on the existing cabin.

I would start by building it off the ground.

20-25 is where you want to be up that way.

Monitor portion size, eat more healthily, and be more active.

Yup I'm lower than my neighbor across the river. I still have about 8' of bank. Doesn't take much for the river to come up out of the bank, though.
