4. De Soto National Forest

Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.

Our time on Tony’s property was amazing. They are the best hosts ever. Super kind and helpful. The countryside property itself is well cared for and super quiet. Full hook up is available . Covered outdoor eating was appreciated as we had rain 2 days. Location is fairly close to Laurel as well. Great experience for us!

We loved the hospitality and the space that this location afforded us. Tony and Tracy went above and beyond as hosts and we even enjoyed a delicious meal they prepared on our first night. Our dogs got along great with their girl Winnie and having so much run around room was just what they needed after travelling. The distance to Laurel is not bad, and if that is the reason for your stay, just be aware that the town is shut down on Sundays on Mondays.

Our site on Tony’s property was to die for. He assisted us backing our trailer up. Our hosts, Tony and Tracy, have great amenities to use on their property from a fire pit to an outdoor table and chairs. The full hookups were outstanding. Tony and Tracy were extremely friendly and cordial to us. We felt like we were members of the family! A super fantastic visit!!! We exchanged addresses and phone numbers so we could keep in touch. If all Hip Camp hosts are like Tony, we will definitely use the site again! Rory and Jean
