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

Weekend Trip to Secluded Fishing Cove

The camp spot was situated on a flat, rocked surface. They had a hose available for use too. The first night I had trouble with the water running down to a trickle every time I turned it on. I reached out to Sheryl and she sent her husband out first thing. Long story short, it was MY FAULT!!🫣 He had already turned the water off, busted the concrete and changed the spigot! I was devastated! They were sooooo sweet about it. I tried to buy them some more concrete, but they weren’t having it. The spot had everything I needed and wanted for my weekend away. The pond, the woods, the fishing….and it’s close to home! We will definitely be back!!
