Every now and again, it’s nice to just get away for a few days – away from the city, the cars, the hustle and bustle that makes up our every day lives. This past weekend we did just that. Packed up the car, kids, canoe, 4 wheeler, food and friends and drove over to Flint Creek in Wiggins, Mississippi.
The less than 2 hour drive makes it perfect a quick weekend getaway destination and the weather cooperated and was spectacular. Warm, sunny days and cool, star filled evenings were the recipe for relaxation (well, after I turned off my phone it was relaxing)!
Flint Creek is a state park that offers options for every type of camper – primitive camping, camp sites, RV hookups and cabin rentals for folks like me who like the outdoors but have no desire to sleep in it. Rates are extremely reasonable – we rented a 2 bedroom cabin that sleeps 6-8 people for a little over $100 per night. By the time we divided the cost between 6 adults and 2 kids, it turned out to be a very inexpensive way to spend the weekend. With a refrigerator for food storage and indoor plumbing it was about as primitive as my camping experience will get!
If you are looking for a family friendly weekend getaway that’s not too far from the West Bank, I would highly recommend Flint Creek. You can check out cabin and campsite placements online and start planning your own weekend retreat right now.
