    Memphis KOA

    West Memphis KOA

    Small but clean. Very friendly staff. There are plenty of trees for shade. Nice pool, bathrooms and rec room. The laundry room is large and air conditioned. There is a dog park, horseshoes and cornhole. They offer daily breakfast and lunch and will deliver site made pizza to your camper. They also have a community garden.Very close to Memphis. The only downside is it has quite a bit of road traffic noise and a strange side road entrance.1

    No Cell Service; No Public Phones: No WIFI Calls at Visitor Center

    PROS 

    Senior discount 

    No fee assessed to make on-line reservations 

    Quiet 

    light view of lake from #57 

    Site 57 has no site next to it or behind it 

    Good distance between campsites 

    Dark sky friendly except for sites near toilet/shower facilities where there is an actual street light 

    Climate controlled toilet/shower facility in campground B 

    Both campground B toilet/shower facilities very clean with ample supply of TP, soap and paper towels 

    Wood picnic table (on concrete pad), pedestal BBQ grill, metal fire ring with cooking grate and metal lantern hook 

    Wide roadway in campground B 

    Small playground 

    Access to lake swimming area from campground B 

    Trash receptacles at toilet/shower facility 

    Lots of deer


    Smaller Walmart in Wynne AR 

    Pops Grill in Wynne real good

    CONS 

    County burn ban in place upon arrival but no signage anywhere alerting of ban. We saw the Arkansas burn ban website and inquired upon checkin if it was enforced and park clerk affirmed ban but we saw many campers had a wood fire burning all the time. So without any signage we understand the confusion and noncompliance. Park should at least place burn ban signage at campground entrance. 

    Site 57 unlevel side-to-side 

    No cell service. 

    No public phone in park. 

    Parks signage states WiFi at park visitor center could be used to make phone calls. We found this not true with our T-MOBILE service as we purposely went to the visitor center to make a WIFI call. There is WIFI at visitors center but only one bar and too weak to transmit a call. So if there is an emergency after visitor center is closed and you need to make a call, good luck, as there is no public phone nor any camp hosts. We drove approximately 8 miles towards Wynne to get sufficient cell signal to make calls and connect with internet. 

    Only free WiFi is at park visitor center. We purchased WiFi from park vendor Viasat $20 unlimited for 3 days for one device. Viasat delivered a good signal within 200 ft of toilet/shower facility so it was useless in our campsite#57. Don’t waste your money! Sewer connection at rear of site pad so bring the looooong stinky slinky! 

    Pets not kept on leash 

    No security gate closure overnight

    Beautiful Park - Friendly Staff

     I called ahead and arrived after hours. It was as easy as it gets. They said to just pick an open site and register in the am. I had a lake front site, with a nice fire pit and picnic table and grill setup. 

     The next morning I registered / paid $44.00 for the night. Super friendly staff. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Nice, but many bees; Positive: not as busy as expected

    If not for the bee infestation in the water pipes at the forst site, the rating would be MUCH higher…

    Overall, we had a good time camping here. The only problem was the bugs (mosquitoes, spiders, etc.), but that's a risk of camping. Our actual, reserved site was overrun with bees in the water tap, though. We told the rangers who set off to spray them, and who also gave us a new, slightly bigger site to set up our tent. This one had many mosquitoes under the picnic table, but no bees! And mosquitoes happen, so we dealt with it:-) The bathrooms were GREAT, and even Air Conditioned! The firewood which was officially purchased there and covered in spiderwebs took a LONG time to get burning, but once it was, it burned hot and well into the night. It was a good stay, with the exception of getting stung by the bees, but thankfully it was only me and not the kids who were stung.

    Surprisingly empty, given the very few options shown to reserve online. Maybe many people cancelled?

    One thing to note: the office has WiFi during open hours…otherwise, we didn't even have ANY phone signal in the area. Good while camping, so not a complaint...just an observation FYI.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    2 night stay at Village Creek

    This place was ok, very small, however more than half the trails and park were closed due to flooding. Lots of construction in progress. There was no sewage hook ups (water electricity only), nearby dump station. Bathroom facilities were very clean. The two trails opened were nice. My kids brought there bikes and enjoyed the one bike trail. I was a little annoyed by the park staff. They came by at least 15 times each day, checking tags, checking fire pits, checking pets, etc. I get it, but it kind of ruins the whole experience when you are relaxing in your camper and see park personnel snooping around constantly. We saw them everywhere. We couldn’t even hike without seeing them. It just felt invasive.

    EZ Daze RV Park

    Clean, concrete pads, good showers.

    Ez Daze RV Park, Southaven, MS - We stayed one night in November. Easy pull through, level concrete site so we didn’t have to unhitch, very clean bathrooms and showers. They have two regular shower stalls which are extremely shallow and one ADA stall with pull down bench. We didn’t have much interaction with the staff because as soon as I walked in, about 4p, I was directed to find my site information outside in the after hours arrival box. Great if you’re looking for contactless registration or do in fact arrive after hours. There was debris in our space that must have been left by the previous camper and we had to get out and clear it before we could pull into the site. Appeared to be large broken pieces of a heavy plastic bumper. (Reason for 4 stars instead of 5) Strong wifi, cable reception wasn’t great. Code to the bathrooms, which is appreciated especially as the park is located in a business area and backs up to a residential neighborhood. Asphalt in front of office in extremely bad condition so be careful as you drive through. Nice office. They have plenty of long termers and there are two large receptacles outside the front office for package delivery. The park is easy access from I-55 and sits next to several RV dealers. Great place to stay if you want to have a look at some new trailers or motor homes. Also, a Tanger Outlet is just down the road. Full hook up, 50 amp site was $70, 63.00 with our Good Sam card which we think was a bit pricey. Oddly, there was only one trash receptacle in the entire park.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Family Friendly

    Village Creek has nearly 7,000 acres of forest hills, 33 miles of multi-use trails, playground for children, 2 lakes, Andy Dye designed 27 hole golf course, & visitor center & gift shop. The park has cabins as well as rv sites.

    There are three main campgrounds: Loop A (no sewer hookups & mostly dirt pads), Loop B (full hookups & concrete pads), and an equestrian campground with stable facilities. Multiple bathhouses located throughout the park; however, in Loop A the bathhouse as you enter the loop has hot showers, where the lower Loop A bathhouse only has cold. As for the bathhouses they were clean and up to date.

    The sites in Loop A were not level and some were very steep. Loop B sites seemed to be mostly level. All the sites contained a picnic table and fire pit.

    We stayed in Loop A site 23 at the very end of the loop. This site was probably the steepest site at the park and we had difficulty getting our camper completely level. There is also a sign at the end of the loop that states this area can have storm damage and to watch for falling trees. While we were there a tree limb fell not even 20 feet from our camper and broke in two. If your willing to take a risk though this site is secluded and more private and right at the entrance to the Lake Dunn trail.

    This campground also has no cell service or internet. You can pay to have internet and they have different options available but to get cell service you either need to leave the park or find the right spot and stay still.

    Pros: •Beautiful campground •Multiple trails to hike •Two lakes to fish in and designated swim areas •Clean bathhouses and showers •Ampitheater with multiple education programs •Rent kayaks/canoes, fishing boats

    Cons: •No sewer in Loop A area •Watch for falling tree limbs •Ticks and other insects-do tick checks and bring insect repellent •No cell/WiFi service

    Memphis KOA

    Amazing

    From the moment we arrived, we had an amazing experience. The staff greeted us and our pups with smiles, cozies, and treats for the dogs. The site is well taken care of. The laundry and camper kitchen were great amenities. The pool was clean and a great way to cool off. They have a Cafe that serves breakfast and dinner. Dinner is delivered to your site. We will definitely be staying here again.

Guide to Colt

Campers seeking glamping close to Colt, Arkansas will find options within a 30-mile radius in a region characterized by Crowley's Ridge, a unique geological formation rising 250-550 feet above the surrounding Mississippi Delta. This highland area creates varied terrain unusual for eastern Arkansas, with mixed hardwood forests and ravines forming a stark contrast to the surrounding flatlands. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-50°F while summer months often exceed 90°F with high humidity.

What to do

Trail exploration: 30+ miles of equestrian trails are available at Village Creek State Park Campground, where both hikers and horse enthusiasts can access maintained pathways. "The roads leading to this campground are fantastic for bikers, and the lakes have produced state record fish," notes Jonathan C. The park includes several historical trails including preserved sections of the Trail of Tears.

Fishing at local lakes: Both Lake Dunn and Lake Austell at Village Creek State Park offer fishing opportunities with boat ramps available. "This is a huge Campground with lots of available activities such as hiking on the Trail of Tears, boating, fishing... the RV sites are flat and they have water and electricity," reports Teresa M.

Golfing near camp: For campers who enjoy golf, Dub Patton Campground provides access to nearby courses. "Site 9 and site 10 are by far the most beautiful sites in the camp in my opinion. They are right on the lake and relatively separate from the other sites," shares Wild Sage F., highlighting the lakeside accommodations that allow for easy access to both water activities and nearby recreational facilities.

What campers like

Clean facilities: At EZ Daze RV Park, many visitors appreciate the immaculate conditions. "Such a gem of a campground - 15 minutes off I-40 East but felt like a safe option a little ways out of the busy downtown Memphis area. From the moment I pulled in I could tell I had made a great choice - super clean showers, bathroom and laundry," writes LuAnn R.

Level concrete sites: Campers value the well-maintained concrete pads at many area campgrounds. "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups. Workers all very pleasant. Didnt get to use the pool or other amenities but they looked nice. Quiet location close to gas station and stores. Excellent WiFi and verizon reception," shares deb K.

Wildlife viewing: The natural areas surrounding Delta Ridge RV Park provide opportunities for birdwatching. "I stayed 3 nights, most people do not. great WiFi for free. Walmart within walking distance. Fuel available at good prices. lots of food service places. Hard to find. It's between the restaurant and I-40. there were lots of frantic birds at dusk everyday I was there," notes Butch K.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer heat and humidity can make camping challenging in this region. "Lots of trails and activities to do around the area. Wish we weren't staying in a tent and would have come at a cooler part of the year. Was too hot to do anything at the beginning of July. Ended up leaving early," warns Kali D. about her Village Creek State Park experience.

Erosion impacts trails: The Crowley's Ridge area experiences significant erosion that affects trail conditions. "The Big Ben Nature Trail offers a great opportunity to identify these unusual plant species and is a short, easy hike. However, erosion is a big issue on the ridge, and sections were somewhat washed out after recent heavy rains," notes Laura G.

Insects are prevalent: Pack insect repellent, especially during warmer months. "Take lots of bug spray in summer, and maybe only consider horse camp if you HAVE a horse. It's worth a walk through in the morning or late afternoon when riders are tacking up or returning from rides," advises a Village Creek State Park visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Family-oriented amenities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis offers extensive facilities for children. "This is a huge campground and the price for a spot was at least double what we would pay elsewhere (nearly $100). This was our first Jellystone and I was shocked at how many campers the campground accommodated - there are RVs everywhere," reports Angela C., who also mentioned multiple playgrounds, a dog run, pool, sports courts, and a small lake.

Horse camping experiences: Children often enjoy the equestrian facilities at Village Creek State Park. "Village Creek is a somewhat unique park in that has an Equestrian Camp offering with stables, exercise corrals, water, mounting blocks and the like available for those who would like to travel with their own horses. While it was not what we originally booked, staying in 'Horse Camp' was really cool and different - a BIG hit with our kids," shares Laura G.

Seasonal activities scheduling: Some glamping accommodations near Colt offer different amenities depending on time of year. "It's a city RV park, what do we really expect? It's not camping for sure. Traveling from California with kids who have been at the mercy of cross-country RV parks- this was a reprieve for them, pool, bikes, playgrounds," notes Jessica P. about Jellystone Park.

Tips from RVers

Site selection matters: At Memphis KOA, campers recommend requesting sites away from the highway. "Located just off the freeway the front sites are a bit noisy. One plus was that it was raining so hard the freeway was stopped so we just went to our site but they offer meals delivered to your site! Great meal!" advises Brent C.

Utilities reliability: For full hookup sites, check power stability. "The water hookup had a wasp nest inside it. All of these details made it hard to relax as we were constantly on our guard with our kids and dog. We checked out the other camping areas and they were in much better shape, recently renovated and with full hookups," cautions Laura G. about certain sites at Village Creek State Park.

Cell connectivity varies: Internet access differs between campgrounds. "We had no signal on ATT but there is free WIFI by the office which you can connect to day or night," mentions Teresa M. about Village Creek, while other campgrounds like EZ Daze advertise strong WiFi and Verizon reception throughout their facilities.
