Urban Forest

2 sites · RVs25 acres · Memphis, TN

Learn more about this land: There are a lot of soft people in the world today, if you're one of those people this isn't the place for you. In the spring and summer the property can become quite overgrown. Some people have had difficulty accessing the inner part of the property that is pretty well cleared and secluded. I happen to like it that way. A quarter acre, just a stone's throw from Graceland. The property itself doesn't provide much more than a place to park, but you can literally walk to Graceland and Beale Street is only about a 15 minute drive or Uber ride. My friend has parked his 5 window skoolie with a 15 foot utility trailer without any issues. There's no access to the shipping container on the property, but you're welcome to set out a few chairs and bbq on the back side of the property as long as you're careful about fires. There are no fire rings, toilets, or running water; and certainly no power. You're welcome to park or tent camp but understand that this property is very primitive. If you're looking for luxury there are some amazing properties in the area listed right here on HipCamp. Please have a great stay and message with any questions.

Sugarberry Ridge

3 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Munford, TN

Located on a 500 foot ridge above the Mississippi River delta, Sugarberry Ridge is sixteen acres of open lawn, wooded forest, and well-established kudzu. With plans underway to develop a food forest, a pollinator meadow, and community gardens, each guest is sure to see something interesting going on. Goats and chickens will be joining the farm crew shortly. About a fifteen minute drive south will take you to Meeman-Shelby State Forest for some of the best hiking trails in the midsouth. Between Meeman-Shelby and The Old Forest in Overton Park, a state-protected old growth stand in the heart of Memphis, you'll see what the Mississippi River uplands used to look like. If you've had enough nature and want to hit some museums, live shows, galleries, etc., Memphis has it all. The drive-up campsite is located toward the rear of the property for plenty of privacy. A handicap-accessible porta-potty is provided near the site. Coming later this fall: a primitive outdoor shower!

About
