Debbie's directions were really clear, and she met me when I arrived to help me find my spot to park. Her place was quiet, peaceful and dark - perfect for sleeping! It was also helpful to have the shared bathroom and shower available to use. I would definitely stay there again when in the area :)

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!

Beautiful property! The fall foliage was amazing, it was a relaxing weekend and I highly recommend ChrisLeigh Farms. We enjoyed the farm animals, the host was phenomenal and I even got a quick cookie decorating lesson. I hope to visit this property again soon.

Easy access off the interstate to a bucolic, well-kept and lovingly arranged campsite. The pond and covered bridge add a quaint charm to the site. Access to a bathroom with a hot shower was a bonus!

I can’t say enough positive about Debbie and her place. Amazing location, amazing host, and the perfect camping experience whether local like us and just looking for a perfect night under the stars or in the area for whatever reason. And, don’t skip the pond for fishing.

Beautiful property and very welcoming hosts. They provided electricity and even a charcoal grill with supplies. Ground was level and I was able to keep my car near my setup.
Although I was set up in a semi open area, I felt like I had some privacy.
Overall, great time and looking forward to coming back sometime soon!

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.

Beautiful area! Don't forget the bug spray! Very accommodating and awesome host! My dogs loved her! I was testing my camping skills with 2 large dogs and didn't want to be around a lot of people doing so lol. Plenty of trees for leads and hammocks! Great little spot!

We really enjoyed our stay. She was very flexible as to where we could set up. My daughter chose to set up by the tire swing. She really enjoyed petting the blue eyed donkeys and the horse. Would definitely recommend and stay again when we’re are in the area. Ms Debbie was very accommodating and made you feel welcomed.

I needed a spot to stay the night when I was passing through town, and this spot was perfect. Beautiful property and friendly hosts! There is a nice bathroom with a shower available for campers. There is a table at the campsite, twinkling lights, and power hookup. Everything was very clean and neat.
Had a lovely, relaxing time staying by the water and watching the fireflies come out at dusk. I highly recommend this spot.

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.

Debbie’s property was truly lovely .. I can definitely recommend it and we’ll surely return there again. I camped overnight following a long drive from New Orleans .. It’s hard to describe the feeling I felt pulling into the property. Pure calm and relief and gratitude to have found such a beautiful place and a person willing to share it.

Beautiful property! Tent camp setup with lights tables and BBQ by the pond, but we were encouraged to pick any spot. Garbage can and table were dropped off where we set up. Life jackets were provided and our kiddos had a great time on the pond in the paddle boat. Bathroom w/shower in barn were clean and well appointed. Pancake breakfast was a super nice added bonus. If we find ourselves in the area again we’ll be stopping by!
