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.

Weekend Trip to Home Place Pastures

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

This is a really secluded, quiet, safe, and beautiful land. It is located off the road and there is little traffic noise and skies that are dark enough to see the milky way.

What a fantastic campsite! The site is very secluded and private (this was the best feature in my opinion). We were able to let the dogs roam free without worrying about them getting in trouble. The views of the farm from the platform are really nice. The bed and tent were comfortable. My son loved playing in the creek, riding the zip line, and sitting by the fire.
