A scenic view of Memphis

Dismals Canyon Conservatory is a beautiful national natural landmark located in northwest Alabama, about a three-hour drive from Memphis. The conservatory keeps its campsites widely spaced out and remote, and none of the sites are directly accessible by car, so be prepared to hike. You can also explore different options for camping near Memphis on Hipcamp.
