National forest 40mi from Vancleave · 79 sites

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.

Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this 24-acre property along Bayou LaTerre, acquired in 2010, is home to a small variety of animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and seasonal vegetable gardens. Completely wooded at the time of purchase, the farm is still a work in progress. Daily farm life involves upgrading fences, clearing the 5-acre pasture, building animal pens, installing rain catchment systems, composting, harvesting, canning, baking and our favorite....... feeding the feathered friends. Pitch your tent in our wooded acreage nestled along side a flowing creek bed. Relax on the sand and watch the squirrels play or close your eyes to meditate with the sounds of nature. A true primitive camping experience awaits you. Our goal is to provide an unplugged experience for you to unwind and get back to nature so you can release the stress of everyday and enjoy the nature and serenity of our little farm.

Welcome to Soultribe! A new community-in-the-making in the heart of the sweet south of Mchenry, MS - only 24 miles from the white sandy beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (the world’s longest man-made beach)! We bought this property in April 2025 after working hard and long on a decade-long dream come true! It’s a fully wooded, 4 acre L-shaped property, currently home to two residents - myself and my daughter. Every day we are working hard to cut pathways and new campsites for visitors, travelers, and potential community members. Eventually we will host events, classes, workshops, retreats, and festivals. We are still in the earliest stages of building, so it’s a very rustic, off-grid experience, and with more visitors, we plan to build cabins and install solar and water collection systems, so we can have outdoor showers, natural pools, outhouses, community areas, a retreat center, and shops for community members to run their businesses from. We are following food forest and permaculture methods instead of traditional gardening, and our long-term vision for this land is a new garden of Eden! We need all the help we can get, so we also offer volunteer trade opportunities to anyone interested. Or, if you just need a place to step back from the busy hub of society, ground and reconnect with nature, Soultribe is the sanctuary for you! You may utilize the little spaces we currently have available for camping, or get in touch with your primal nature, explore our woods and cut down your own trail and campsite. We will be present to assist in any way, open to sharing and communal activities - or we can offer you solitude and privacy during your trip… it’s entirely up to you! Come create heaven with us… send your booking inquiry today!

5 nights at Creekside Farm Co.

I originally planned to tent camp for five nights as I passed through on a long road trip tour of southern states. It was so wonderful I stayed two weeks! I camped in spot #2 along the creek with my dogs and all of us relaxed and enjoyed every single day to the fullest. From long walks in the creek, to exploring the farm and the fishing pond with a covered dock that is home to, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, quail and even a pair of peacocks! The site was level, clean and HUGE, and the walk to the camper pavilion, outdoor (cold) shower and flushing toilet was not far at all. The owners, Alicia and CJ were kind and very laid back. This is a FARM, surrounded by other farms and country properties, in the woods, so expect to hear nigh time noises and early rooster crows. I cannot wait to go back, hopefully When all the magnolia trees are in bloom. Although I do not have kids traveling with me, the families that came over the weekends all loved it too!

Loved this spot! Very secluded and isolated. Didn’t see or hear another person in three days. Great directions and communication from the host. My 2 wheel drive Tacoma got me within about 75ft of the sandbar. Any amount of recent rain would require 4wd for sure. Feels very safe while very secluded. Awesome hearing the coyotes howl/sing at night! Very limited cell phone service. Starlink worked perfectly!

Weekend Trip to River Life Camping in Alabama

Great and secluded spot. Photos of the signs at the entrance drive are out of date; just find the power pole in the photo (by number) and turn in at the drive at that location. Opens up into a small glade which is really nice, and continue on to find the trail to the beach. In a Ford F150 we didn’t think we’d make it through to very narrow trees on the way to the beach so we stopped short and camped in the woods. Really good spot though and had a great time lounging at the river.
