🌾 Ely Properties LP — Wildlife, Wide Skies & Pure Peace Unplug, unwind, and wake up to a true slice of rural freedom on this sprawling 1,663-acre working farm and wildlife refuge in Shaw, Mississippi. Best for self-contained campers who love being surrounded by nature, this is where the sky stretches wide, and your only neighbors might be migratory birds gliding overhead. What makes this place special: One tent / RV site (for rigs under 25 ft) situated “Pond Across Highway” — peaceful, private, and far from light pollution. No frills—but that’s the point. No toilets, showers, or potable water onsite — come prepared, come ready. Perfect for nature lovers: bird watching, wide open fields, and the freedom to camp close to what matters most. Pet-friendly, but note: no campfires permitted, so bring a lantern & warm spirit instead of a blaze. Whether you're here to sleep under the stars, escape the hum of daily life, or simply find a quiet corner in nature’s embrace, Ely Properties LP offers just what you’re craving: space, silence, and scenery.

About

If you’re looking to camp down on the bayou, throw some Credence Clearwater Revival in the tape deck and drive on out to Leroy Percy State Park! This place has it all: artesian springs, cypress trees, and ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Hunters are beckoned by ample wildlife, and anglers can cast their hook out to some bass. Hikers can enjoy strutt’n their stuff on the scenic Black Bayou or Alligator Lake trails, and families can enjoy some picnicking and southern style barbecue. At the end of the day, you can pitch a tent or stay in some choice cabins or vacation cottages. Time to get wild, folks!
