Weekend Trip to Home Place Pastures

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

Weekend Trip to ChrisLeigh

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.

The farm is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful alpacas and sweet wild chickens running around. The landscape is gorgeous with a very warm and welcoming feel. There's also wooded area to relax and explore along with an enchanted pond within it. Myles is an excellent host and you feel very welcomed. I have now camped there twice, and will certainly return :)

Weekend Trip to Pleasant View

My wife and I were there on a weekend and it was great. Very quiet and surroundings were beautiful in the AM. Only 20 or so minutes from Beale Street. Felt very safe.

Weekend Trip to Alpaca Farm and Forested Area

Delightful experience! Myles was so kind, communicative, and informational. The space is super peaceful and lovely. I saw armadillos, alpacas, chickens, and pears! Super quiet and close to Wolf/Ghost river kayaking and amenities in Jackson, Bolivar, and La Grange, TN. I highly recommend this campsite.
