We miss Destin like CRAZY. The ocean provides something that the woods, swamps, desserts, and mountains just… don’t. Surprisingly, Florida has become our favorite state and we’re missing her! I guess this is a good thing, and the whole reason we wanted to travel in the first place – to find new places we loved, and enjoy the heck out of them!
So, Dagmar Dispersed (34.8611183166504, -91.3118209838867) is a dispersed camping area outside of Brinkley Arkansas, just 1.5 hours outside of Memphis.
The drive through Arkansas was beautiful. When we got to Magmar, we realized the entire spot was a swamp and were a little bummed that this meant no canoeing. After driving about 10 minutes in, we found a good spot to park while we disconnected GoBe (our Jeep) and scouted ahead.
It took us about 20 minutes to find our spot (34.8844087,-91.3193082) – a perfect place right by a bridge with running water and lots of birds.
We planned to stay here until April 30, but after a couple of days of rain (it smells HORRIBLE when rain aggravates swamp sludge), we had enough of the swamp life.
The bridge beside our home that made a wonderful water sound ALL the time. It was very lovely!
The road in was good, so long as you have patience and take your time. Kevin’s got a lot of both, so we were able to get to the site without any issues!
Swamp is beautiful and has a sereneness to it that’s unlike anything else… but it sure doesn’t smell nice!
