One of the nicest couples my wife and I have ever met! They were extremely accommodating to our family and made our stay very enjoyable. My 2 year old had the time of his life. We will be back in the future.

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!!!

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 …

The farm site was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Kiddos especially loved the friendly animals. They loved getting to pet the horses, little donkeys, and cats. 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!

This location was easy to find and absolutely beautiful! John and his family were very friendly and welcoming. 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.

Very few RV Parks betweenTupelo and Birmingham so Matt's camp is a good location. And only a couple of miles off the interstate. Nice secluded, quiet, and shaded area. Clean bathhouse. We will stay there again if our travels take us that way.

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.

Group trip
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!

Overview
About
in mid-July 1864, upwards of 20,000 men clashed in fields surrounding Tupelo, Mississippi. Confederate forces caused Union troops to retreat back to Memphis. However, winning the battle at Tupelo wasn't the plan. Gen. William T. Sherman had a bigger prize in mind.
Union Maj. Gen. Andrew J. Smith led his forces on an advance into Mississippi in July. By the time his men reached Tupelo, a corp of mounted infantry met the advance. Confederate Maj. Gen. Nathan Forrest tried several times to outflank his counterpart to no avail. Despite hot and humid temperatures, Smith's troops held their lines for as long as possible. Forrest was out of action for three weeks with an injury following the battle.
That was all Smith needed. The goal of the action in Tupelo was to keep Confederate forces from getting too close to Sherman's huge army. He was marching towards Atlanta, and to the Atlantic coast at Savannah, Georgia.
Memorials and cannons at the battlefield park commemorate the men who fought here. One regimen included the United States Colored Troops. The visitor's center gives you an idea of what happened at the site with interpretive displays and artifacts. Today, the battlefield memorial is a flat green space surrounded by trees and modern buildings.

Quick visit/stop. To learn more, take an driving tour, two stops, using the NPS app and read the sign boards. Parking is limited at the first tour stop. Do not park in businesses parking, there is a pull off next to the first site of the tour for short stops.
