Need a break from it all but don’t want to break the bank to get it? No problem; Mississippi is filled with amazing places that actually make an overnight trip plausible. From some of the state’s best campgrounds to cabins hidden deep in the forest, these 10 places offer accommodations that are both unique and inexpensive.

1. Riverside Hotel, Clarksdale

This small bed and breakfast may not look like much on the outside but some huge things have taken place under its roof. At one time, the building served as a hospital for African Americans and is where Blues legend Bessie Smith passed away. Over the years, the Riverside Hotel has accommodated several notable guests, including John F. Kennedy, Jr., Ike Turner, John Lee Hooker, and Robert Nighthawk. A stop on the Blues Trail, this hotel continues to attract guests from all over the world and is a must-visit for music enthusiasts.

Taking the Mississippi spot on Thrillist’s list of "The Coolest Hotels In Every State," the Shack Up Inn offers visitors the chance to stay on the Hopson Plantation, which has remained practically unchanged since it was an actual working plantation. A completely unique experience, guests stay in authentic sharecropper shacks and are able to tour the grounds, which include an original cotton gin, seed houses, and other outbuildings.

3. Tallahatchie Flats, Greenwood

A true Delta experience, the Tallahatchie Flats consist of six perfectly preserved examples of the small rural homes that once filled this region of the state. These types of homes are significant because they are exactly the kind in which a number of blues musicians resided and spent time cultivating their craft. Aside from the opportunity to stay in these historic "tenant houses," guests can truly immerse themselves in the region’s rich history via an interpretive tour of the property.

9. Deer Island, near Biloxi

Approximately a quarter mile from Biloxi, this tropical treasure is the closest island to Mississippi’s coastline, and surprisingly, many residents are unaware of its existence.

Since Deer Island is so close, anyone with a small boat, canoe, kayak, or paddleboard can access it.

10. Buccaneer State Park, Waveland

Beautifully restored following Hurricane Katrina, this state park offers both primitive and developed camping in addition to a ton of recreational opportunities, including nature trails, disc golf, beach access, and the on-site water park, Buccaneer Bay.
