📰 Thank you to Good Grit Magazine for putting one of our favorite Trace stops on their 'Sleep Under the Stars' list of six Southern campsites worth planning a summer around. Their pick? Tishomingo State Park — right along the parkway in northeast Mississippi, where rock formations, waterfalls, and a swinging bridge over Bear Creek make you forget you're in Mississippi at all. Primitive sites, cabins, RV hookups, and Bear Creek floating all summer long. If you've been meaning to trade the hotel key for a tent zip, consider this your sign. Thanks for the love, Good Grit Magazine 💚
