Sugarberry Ridge

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents16 acres ¡ Munford, TN
Located on a 500 foot ridge above the Mississippi River delta, Sugarberry Ridge is sixteen acres of open lawn, wooded forest, and well-established kudzu. With plans underway to develop a food forest, a pollinator meadow, and community gardens, each guest is sure to see something interesting going on. Goats and chickens will be joining the farm crew shortly. About a fifteen minute drive south will take you to Meeman-Shelby State Forest for some of the best hiking trails in the midsouth. Between Meeman-Shelby and The Old Forest in Overton Park, a state-protected old growth stand in the heart of Memphis, you'll see what the Mississippi River uplands used to look like. If you've had enough nature and want to hit some museums, live shows, galleries, etc., Memphis has it all. The drive-up campsite is located toward the rear of the property for plenty of privacy. A handicap-accessible porta-potty is provided near the site. Coming later this fall: a primitive outdoor shower!

The best camping near Fort Pillow State Park guide

Overview

About

Come to Fort Pillow for the history buffs and stay for the steep bluffs. The fort itself was a strategic Confederate location during the Civil War, but you won’t have to simply imagine soldiers of bygone days walking around with muskets—they’ve got re-enactments for that! Check out the well-preserved breastworks of Fort Pillows or venture inside the reconstructed inner fort. If you’re more about the present than the past, head out on the 5 miles of hiking trails or have a picnic at the pavilion. Family reunion with an antique cannon nearby? Sounds sweet!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fort Pillow State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer months can be hot and humid, while winter brings cooler temperatures that may affect some activities.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, before planning your visit.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for hiking along the park's historic trails.
  • Stay aware of local wildlife and follow guidelines to ensure a safe encounter.
  • Bring water and snacks, as dining options may be limited within the park.
