re: What are your "must haves" for a hunting camp?

First off, to the OP, this is a great thread and I hope it continues like the AR thread.
Second, as to metal buildings, I’ve seen some cool configurations and finished out living quarters. They seem to build them faster than regular stick builds.
What is the cost per square foot relative to tradition stick built cabins?

We're in the process of enclosing the existing porch to make a mud room and boot/wader storage. Adding a larger porch on the side of the cabin and a covered and lighted cleaning area.

not break the bank

National Realty link - cabin + land in MS
Take a look at this land in Mississippi. A dentist in Jackson owns this spot and built the cabin and outdoor kitchen area.
I really like this set-up. I believe the cabin has a metal core.

Looks like you're getting a lot of responses about sheds and barns, but you're asking about inside the camp... I've hunted at the best, most comfortable camps in the south, (Oak Grove, Eagles Nest, Camp Alibi) and they all have several things in common.
For "comfortable and inviting" I'll offer the following:
First, everything that touches should be high quality, clean, and white. It's the same principle in play when you go to a 5-star hotel. The sheets? All white. Towels? All white. Soap and shampoo? Aveda or other high-end stuff that doesn't come from Wal-mart.
Nothing says your camp host didn't try more than getting in a bed to find a pile of sand in there between the camouflage sheets and then washing the sand off in the shower with dial soap and head and shoulders shampoo. White sheets with brown or olive colored comforters or duvet covers is the norm at high-end camps. You never have to wonder if the sheets are clean.
Opposite of this for the living areas. Plush, comfy, leather seating that our wives would never let us have at home is the goal with coffee tables that invite feet to be put on them. Leather can be easily cleaned and is universally appreciated by camp guests.
Have a medicine drawer with every OTC medication you can think of so that everyone's covered while they're there.
Two full beds per bedroom, with one full bath per bedroom. No one actually takes a bath at a hunting camp, so just showers is perfect.

I can't imagine what a MS Delta stripper would look like. I'm guessing you import yours?

I'm hearing metal buildings cost about 60-70% of the cost of a standard wood frame building. I am working on a design now and will see if that works out. From what I understand, a metal builder will supply all of the beams, windows and supplies from inner wall out and you have to hire someone to put in a foundation, erect it, then finish it out. Some say it's cheaper on insurance due to no wood. I've seen some nice pictures of some metal buildings on the internet.

Need a liquor cabinet with a lock and key.
Have a place outside in the covered porch to put adult beverages like beer, etc when it’s cold so you don’t waste room in your refrigerator.

Where you are going to clean your bikes or UTV have hot water. It makes the mud melt off. Also put the ice maker in the mud room.

Install a urinal and a toilet in the bathrooms. Drunk hunters will piss all over a toilet but can't miss a urinal. You can thank me later.
If you plan on having any couples weekends, a separate bathroom for the ladies will make you lots of brownie points.
Go industrial in the kitchen. Get a big deep stainless steel sink with one of those restaurant style spray wands. When your cooking for that many people you need some place to wash big pots and pans and a normal residential sink won't do. A small water heater just for the sink isn't a bad idea either.

Yes! I agree with you on this.
Get the kitchen to look like one in a fraternity house, especially the dishwasher and stove/cooktop

My camp is by no means anything fancy but is comfortable to bring the wife and kids to. I have added a little to it each year. The most important things to me especially with kids were the washer and dryer followed by the separate shed built to keep the atv's, boots and all the gear to not clutter the camp and get mud everywhere and for me direct tv was a must for football season and for the younger kids to watch cartoons on. You can do all of these things on a budget and not spend a fortune. Adding a big load of limestone where we park and where the fire pit is last year was also really beneficial to keep the dirt and mud down in and around the camp. I grew up camping in tents, school buses converted into campers, a old Uhaul truck we would haul our atv's in then sleep in hunting WMA's and all sorts of uncomfortable camps. Now I like to sit around the camp as much as I like hunting so being comfortable is a must.

Delta Doc, that is a really cool set up. Love the outdoor kitchen/bar area, but where I'm at, I'd need to screen that in for bugs. Also like the interior of that cabin and all the outer buildings. I may try to go see that just to get some ideas. Do you live in the Delta now?

The upkeep of the buildings would be more than the wildlife management. Not worth it.
Love the property that you posted. Would just have to rise up everything 4-5 feet above ground due to being on the bank of the Black Warrior River.
