Getaway Campground

If you’d like to get out and see more of the area’s scenery, a good place to start is Big Cypress Tree State Park (20 minutes’ drive), a hotspot for native wildflowers and birds. Other options nearby include Reelfoot Lake State Park (an hour) and Murray State Arboretum (an hour and 10 minutes) – although if you really want to be sure of wildlife spottings (both native and more exotic) you’ll want to head to Tennessee Safari Park (35 minutes). Also dotted around the surrounding countryside are several wineries to visit – White Squirrel Winery (25 minutes) is one of your closest. Or you could try a trip to the Samuel T Bryant Distillery (45 minutes) if you need something a little stronger for your campfire evenings. Elsewhere nearby, you can see famous cars (like the Ghostbusters’ Ectomobile) at Rusty’s TV & Movie Car Museum (45 minutes), take a trip to Paris at the Eiffel Tower Park (55 minutes) or explore the Discovery Park of America (45 minutes), a heritage attraction covering everything from Native American history to space travel.
