Then, cozy up by the fire pit or look to the skies with the telescope—because the nights here are truly something special.

National forest 259mi from Southaven · 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.

The land is beautiful with areas to spend time at outside the van. My dog loved roaming around the field and seeing the horses and donkeys! She cried when we left! Also indoor bathroom option for toilet and a shower, was a major plus! The host was very responsive to our short booking window and respectful of our sometimes anxious dog, that felt welcoming to us! We look forward to stopping again next time we are driving through the area!

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

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.

If you're considering staying here I would say do it, without a doubt. Debbie is the kindest, most accommodating host, the farm is pristine, private, safe and beautiful and it's a close enough drive for a trip into Memphis to look around. There is a full shower and bathroom and the campsite itself is stunning. My five year old was sad to leave this place. Debbie has thought of every detail and it shows. We wish we could've stayed longer and if we're ever passing through Memphis again we'll definitely be back. Thank you for everything Debbie it was so nice to feel right at home while on the road.

What a gem! Debbie's property is peaceful and simply beautiful. The grounds are very well maintained, have mature shade trees, rolling hills along with flat areas for tent camping. Lights are up illuminating the picnic table and grill area. The view of the pond and the covered bridge add charm to the equation.
The bathroom and shower were such an added bonus.
Debbie is very friendly and welcoming. In fact, she had homemade designer Fourth of July cookies, which she kindly shared.
