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.

Overview

About

Come to Fort Pillow for the history buffs and stay for the steep bluffs. The fort itself was a strategic Confederate location during the Civil War, but you won’t have to simply imagine soldiers of bygone days walking around with muskets—they’ve got re-enactments for that! Check out the well-preserved breastworks of Fort Pillows or venture inside the reconstructed inner fort. If you’re more about the present than the past, head out on the 5 miles of hiking trails or have a picnic at the pavilion. Family reunion with an antique cannon nearby? Sounds sweet!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fort Pillow State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer months can be hot and humid, while winter brings cooler temperatures that may affect some activities.

Wear appropriate footwear for hiking along the park's historic trails.
Stay aware of local wildlife and follow guidelines to ensure a safe encounter.
