13 miles north of Memphis is Meeman-Shelby forest State Park.
shelby forest
Also the old Naval Air training center used to have a campground that I believe is now open to the public.
Navy Lake
If your GF's family is in Frasier, Raleigh, or Covington areas I would look north towards Millington. If they are south, maybe down towards Tunica Ms, central city, West Memphis Arkansas. Not real sure specifically where to suggest, but based on living there years ago, i would go outside the city.
Last time I was there was 10+ years ago. Memphis area is changing.
