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.

1 night at A&W Christmas Tree Farm

I cannot say enough positive things about my stay at A&W's Christmas Tree Farm. The property is gorgeous, and there is so much to explore. We were met at the cabin by the delightful Austin and Wanda (hosts), who gave us a personal ~hourish tour of the property and the cabin. They clearly have put much thought into hosting and want you to feel as comfortable and welcomed as possible. My two large dogs loved sniffing around and stretching their legs after a long day in the car. We enjoyed our early morning walk through the fields of Christmas Trees with tranquil nature sounds all around us. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind stay, this is it. I will forever continue to book this Hipcamp if I'm in the area :)

1 night at A&W Christmas Tree Farm

This property is a hidden treasure and easily accessible from I 10 Interstate. Quiet and relaxing with a very sweet host. We had nice large field with a vineyard all to ourselves. Plenty of space to take a stroll through the adjacent Christmas tree farm fields which are quite beautiful too!
