Weekend Trip to Moon Lake Farm - Camp, Fish, Relax
We really enjoyed our weekend on John’s land, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Beautiful countryside, and our little girls really enjoyed all of the animals. Didn’t try our hand at fishing this trip, but did take a stroll around the property on a perfectly manicured path. Great cell signal for streaming some Saturday afternoon football. We slid over to RV1, and it was a super-easy back-in

As a family we have been camping in our RV for about 4 years now and I personally have been camping all my life. This trip was one of the most memorable to date! Mrs. Anita is so responsive to messages and Mr. Lynn’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness are unmatched! The property upon entering is horse stables and rolling hills leading to a shaded campground with full hookup sites situated around a larger than life bonfire pit with rock seating. Each site has ample space and its own firepit. We were graciously given ample firewood, a map and even full access to a 4x4 UTV to explore the property! The rest of the property is hundreds of acres with miles of well marked trails for riding or hiking. There are two lakes with the larger of the two having an assortment of boats. There is also a primitive camp area on the big lake. Wildlife is in abundance! Deer, fox, herons, eagles and more are seen while at night the coyotes sing you to sleep! Mr. Lynn check on us every morning! We loved it so much we booked an extra day and have already started planning our return! We drank coffee in the cool morning air, fished the day away and enjoyed hot cocoa and s’mores around the fire at night!They are in the process of building a structure that will have bath/laundry and bunkhouse as well as a rec room! Whether passing through or staying for an extended period this place checks all the boxes plus some! Thank you Mrs. Anita and Mr. Lynn for an amazing experience and we will be back soon!!!

Weekend Trip to Twin Lakes
This was our most memorable trip yet! We have been RVing since 2022 and have stayed at countless Rv parks but this was by far the best experience ever! First off Mrs. Anita was so responsive to messages and communication was so clear. We arrived on a Sat and were met by the camp hosts husband Mr. Lynn. He helped get us in and situated and gave us firewood. Each site had a firepit as well a a huge bonfire in the middle. He gave a a rundown of the property and told us he’d be back in the morning with maps and more for us as the sun was setting. The property was gorgeous with rolling hills and horses. We sat out the first night listening to the coyotes. The next morning we awoke to a 4WD UTV and a map of the property. Miles and miles of riding and hiking trails though beautiful forest! We had breakfast and coffee the struck out through the woods. The trails were well marked so no fear of getting lost and the map was detailed! There are two lakes, small lake and big lake(both big lol). The big lake had Jon boats and a paddle boat for use. We were having so much fun we immediately booked extra days! We spent the next two days, exploring the trails, fishing, birdwatching and even found an old tire swing. Mr. Lynn checked on us faithfully every morning! They are in the process of building an amazing bathhouse, laundry, rec room/bunkhouse. Check out was easy and unrushed. Do yourself a favor and book a week! It’s worth every penny and more! We will be back Soon! Great Memories!

Absolutely loved our stay at Farmview, Twin Lakes, so much so that it has been added to our small but growing list of “must return to” locations. The hosts, Anita and her husband Len, were most welcoming, accommodating and generous in making sure we were informed about the many great recreational opportunities and aspects of their very large property. The hiking and/or off-road motorcycle trails are many and varied covering significant terrain around the multiple large lakes and adjoining farmlands - all in all simply an outstandingly great location for a multi day stay. Highly recommended …

John provided a nice screened in sitting area as well as a hot shower and clean restroom. We didn't have time to go fishing, but the lake was serene. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, John!

I pulled in about an hour before sunset, setup, made dinner, and found a peaceful cozy place to eat that overlooks the lake. The sunset and sunrise was beautiful! Hung out by the lake until the sun went down. The bathroom was easy to find and shower was warm. Thanks for opening your property to Hipcamp and for your welcoming hospitality.

I unfortunately got there too late to properly enjoy all that there was to offer. The lake was beautiful. The animals around were fun to see. I introduced my dog to some of them for her first time. There was a breeze way area for a place to cook, eat, shower, and even hang out. I was unlucky and got rained on during the night, but luckily there's a pavillion with a roof that I moved my tent under.

This was the best trip I have been on in a long time. The home was absolutely perfect but all the camp sites on the property were beautiful. The owners are THE SWEETEST! They responded so quickly to any and all questions my family and I had. The property is incredible with so many awesome riding trails for all experience levels or ages. The home slept my whole family comfortably. Waking up and going right out to our bikes to ride was such an incredible experience. We all felt so safe and secure there even going into town and leaving our stuff. I would recommend this family, home, property and trails to EVERYONE. My family and I will 100% be back and we are so excited for the next trip already!

The best camping in Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, MS guide

Overview

About

Take a walk through history along the Natchez Trace. Discover five separate foot trails totaling 65 miles that wind through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Explore old-growth forests lush with greenery, or walk through the ghost town of Rocky Springs, Mississippi.

Native Americans, ancient wildlife and military soldiers once walked these paths. The original trail spanned 450 miles and was an ancient migratory route.

Sections of these trails vary in difficulty. Some portions include wading through knee-deep water as you cross shallow creeks. Other parts cross major highways, so make sure to watch out for traffic when you come upon a paved road. Some trails are one-way only, while others form a loop. The general rule of thumb is 30 minutes for 1 mile of hiking on gentle terrain.

For a more efficient mode of travel, saddle up as you travel sections of the Natchez Trace on horseback. Horses are not allowed on paved roads or in campsites, although you can park horse trailers near trailheads.

Landforms and scenic areas run the gamut. Baker Bluff Overlook gives you great views, while the same paved trail takes you to Jackson Falls. Access Fall Hollow Waterfall through a steep trail that takes you through deep woods. The reward is well worth the effort, as this isolated waterfall offers a picturesque spot to truly become one with nature.

Along the way, you may see remnants of old mills, ferry dock sites, old towns that time forgot and plenty of wildlife. For a fall weekend getaway, nothing beats the colorful foliage of the trees in late October.

Nearby attractions

This lush sanctuary, teeming with diverse wildlife and meandering trails, promises tranquil campsites nestled amid towering trees. Close to crystal-clear lakes and gentle rivers, it's an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquility, outdoor activities, or simply a serene spot to pitch a tent under star-strewn skies
