Best Campgrounds near LaGrange, AR

Got in after dark and area was easily navigatable. Multiple large open camping areas. The one I stayed in had slight traffic noise from the highway, but wasn't an issue as I was van camping.

This seems like not would be great for group camping but I had the whole section to myself. Doesn't seem like this area is overwhelmed with campers. You're likely to find a good spot with some privacy.

I'm slightly paranoid about camping under trees. Was challenging to find a spot in the open.

No services.

Simple and spread out. There are some big spots. Most have a fire ring.

Tom Sawyer's RV Park offers a unique camping experience on the Mississippi River with a mix of pros and cons suika game. Visitors praise the beautiful river views, spacious sites, and pet-friendly policies, as well as convenient amenities like free laundry facilities. However, recurring issues include basic or outdated bathroom facilities, limited tent camping options, and inconsistent site maintenance. Overall, it's a great choice for short stays, particularly for those with RVs, looking to enjoy scenic riverfront views and the charm of tugboat traffic.

In the past year the property management and service has seriously declined. As a result of neglect the initial sites to which the management directed me were not functioning properly. I tried three sites and each either had not electricity or no water. The gravel to and from each site had grown over and the office was non-responsive to my efforts for help. As a result of the poor state of repair, I hit an impediment with my RV sewage connection. The result was at least$500 of damage. Until more attention is paid to the upkeep of this potential good property, I would recommend that you not use this location.

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. We’ve paid $100 a night for less. Clean, cute, easy access, not sketchy. Noise, sure, but nothing a fan or AC could drown out. Airplanes every few hours, traffic from a nearby highway. Site 44 happens to be the only one without a tree for shade though, so unless you like hot sun- book another one.

Really enjoyed this trip on 4th of July weekend!! Stayed at site 43 which is close to the swim beach and the bathrooms are very close. They have a really nice visitor center too. Just make sure to have bug spray. Mosquitoes get bad at night and ticks were pretty active. Overall, it’s a great State Park!!!!

Not much too it. Basically just two relatively small parking lots in the woods, past some houses off the highway. Would only be good for a super quick over night.

I booked online ahead of time as I was traveling across country and needed a place to sleep. It is right next to downtown and a railroad yard. Driving on the roads to the site there were piles of trash and debris that had been dumped as well as abandoned broken down cars. The utility poles had blue flashing police lights with cameras. A very scary part of town. As I drive into the campground, I see the Ranger walking around in full Tactical Gear, carrying a Pistol! I find my site and get out of my car and there is no room for a tent, this is just an RV park. (Site 35) In addition, I was hit by rancid odor of raw sewage(from the Mississippi river?) The Ranger came up to me and ask to see my ID, then told me to have a nice stay, and I told him No Way am I staying here! And he said“I understand.” I got back in my car and just continued to drive. I was still charged for the nights stay.

Nice quiet n peaceful...my husband and I really enjoyed our stay

This is a huge campground and the price for a spot was at least double what we would pay elsewhere (nearly $100). We weren’t able to get a campground at Tom Sawyer and the reviews were all over the place for the rest of the Memphis campgrounds that we decided to go ahead and splurge on this one.

This was our first Jellystone and I was shocked at how many campers the campground accommodated - there are RVs everywhere. Most of the amenities and services are located at the front of the campground and includes a store and propane, playground, dog run, pool, showers and laundry, gold mining station, and sports courts (basketball, Gaga ball, and basketball). Further back in the campground, was another playground and dog run and a really cute little lake.

We were staying off-season so there was no activities and they actually deflated the jumping pad, but my kids still had fun and I could see this campground either being a blast in the summer or being a nightmare because of too many people. While we were there, I saw almost no children and several of the camper sites looked like the guests were staying long-term. For a campground that is marketed towards families, the demographics were a bit strange.

That said, it was super clean, well-organized, the landscaping and sites were maintained, everyone was friendly. We got two loads of wash done and my husband said the showers looked good. There were some restaurants and a Walgreen that looked like they delivered to the campground. WiFi worked and they had cable tv.

We reserved a basic site, but for more money you could get a site with Adirondack patio furniture and there were plenty of cabins as well. We reserved same day online and they have a system for late check-ins.

I’m definitely giving Jellystone another go - but next time during the summer. I’m not sure whether this campground is a good base for exploring Memphis - I think if you had a car it would probably be fine as it’s only 20 minutes or so.

We had reservations for another place further down the road but decided to leave a day early and see if we could find something on the road. This place fit the bill! It’s convenient to the highway and while we have our food, there are places to eat close by. The owner was polite and met us at the gate and showed us to our site. There are few big trees and it’s more suitable for RV camping than tent camping but this was exactly what we needed this trip. Thanks so much!

Camp is surrounded by industrial area. Play road entrance closed making for a high stress night entry from Memphis. Use W UseMitchell St entrance. If seeing Graceland is on ur list, better to call at Graceland.

Really cool spot we parked next to the gator swamp and it was a really cool area. We saw some big splashes from the pond but no gators. Great spot for the night. Free camping

Best thing about campground is how close it is to Graceland. 24/7 security. Staff onsite in office from 9 am to 4 pm. Checkin and checkout time is 11 am. Sites are gravel. Campground can accommodate all sizes of rvs. Dogs welcome. Bathrooms are clean and functional, just need a bit of cosmetic updating (peeling paint, missing tiles). Laundry on site. Area on north side of campground for tents and small rvs with electric and water only. All other sites have full hookups which include sewer. No dump station on site. Must call to make reservations, no online option. Good Sam affiliate.
