National forest 243mi from West Memphis · 312 sites
Two distinct forests rolled into one package! That means twice the amount of outdoorsy goodness to explore. The Ozark National Forest covers most of the Ozark Mountains, including the highest peak in the state. It’s awesome here when the dogwood and redbuds bloom in the spring, and when the leaves change color in the fall. The St. Francis National Forest is more diverse, with the St. Francis and Mississippi Rivers running through it, as well as lakes, valleys, and tons of wildlife. It’s the only place in the national forest system where you can access the Mississippi River from the shore, so that right there is a must do! The whole expanse of land is filled with multi-use trails, hundreds of campsites, spots for swimming, fishing, and boating, and even some amazing caves to explore. Mother Nature crushing it as usual.

We spent the weekend tent camping at Home Place Pastures. It was a great site, with great people, and even some great food at the farm store on site! We found a lot of eating options in the town of Como, also. It is also located within driving distance of Memphis. Will definitely have a return trip here

My wife and I were there on a weekend and it was great. Very quiet and surroundings were beautiful in the AM. Only 20 or so minutes from Beale Street. Felt very safe.

I felt very safe and comfortable, knowing that I was in a fully enclosed and locked property. Sarah was considerate enough to leave a fire pit and firewood and she has cute little lights strung up around the fire pit. There is a port-a-potty available for use and a dumpster for your trash when you leave. It’s a great spot. Quiet and peaceful, and I had a nice night of good rest.

We arrived later at night and Sarah maintained consistent and supportive communication throughout our stay. Memphis is a fun town with delicious food, and this location was close to the highway which provided easy access to local venues. The yard was private, quiet, and peaceful.

This gated location is very private and safe. Campsite #1 felt a bit cluttered though because of the piles of landscaping materials surrounding the RV area (the host runs a landscaping company from that location). It worked great as a safe place to stay within Memphis but I would not recommend it if you’re looking for a quiet and scenic getaway.

This Hipcamp site is the perfect spot if you are planning a trip to Memphis. Our host Sarah was easy to communicate with and answered any question we had. It has easy access to and from the highway yet you are tucked away by a woods with very little traffic noise. Padlocked gate for security, water, fire pit, picnic table, power and lights. A definite return if we are back in the Memphis area.

The space was clean and efficient. We stayed on a weekend so there was no landscaping noise. There also wasn’t much road noise either so we slept well. Great yard for doggos. Definitely recommend
