…Tishomingo State Park!

Just over an hour from Wise Family Farm, the park is a bit of a trek; however, it’s consistently revered as one of the most beautiful fall destinations in Mississippi.

In the past, the park’s famous 200-foot swinging bridge was named one of the “best Southern landmarks for viewing foliage” by Southern Living.

Even aside from seasonal beauty, Tishomingo State Park is top-rated destination. It’s been rated the best state park in Mississippi due to its rocky terrain and towering bluffs.

There are several cabins throughout the park. Some are historic relics that can be toured and others are available for overnight rental.

Cabins aren’t the only accommodation option for park-goers, though. There are also platform tents.

Listed on Airbnb, the tents boast peaceful views of Haynes Lake and, in the fall, vibrant foliage.

Each campsite includes everything you could need for a comfy night’s sleep, including a queen bed, picnic table, fire pit, two Adirondack chairs, and a camping potty.
