Information for cyclists bicycling from the Natchez Trace to French Camp B&B - French Camp, MS.
French Camp B&B, located adjacent to the parkway, has been welcoming cyclists for decades. Single cyclists, small groups and large groups can be accommodated in the B&B's 13 beds (Need more than 13 beds? French Camp has a separate conference facility nearby with several guest rooms.).
With a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and being adjacent to the parkway, French Camp's Carriage House is an ideal choice as a "home base". You could drive to French Camp and bike 2 or more days (one day "up" the Trace "out and back" - one day "down" the Trace "out and back" - maybe, 1 or more days: drive to another section of the parkway, park your vehicle, bike for the day "out and back" to your vehicle and drive back to French Camp).
