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!!!!
We had originally planned to stop here for a night based on good reviews. But once arriving & doing a quick drive thru changed our minds. Tent camping area is just small grassy area behind laundry house. Had to drive all the way thru to even see the river. We did see a tugboat on our drive thru though. Just seems too run down & not cared for. Now rv spots by the water looked nice- but not a good place for tents.
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.
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.
Lots of spaces, tons of trails, nice and flexible staff and very affordable. I was clear I had to have connectivity to stay and they let me come out and pick my spot before staying and gave me my.best options.
I'm up in the horse campground which is fine and. The only camper here. The bathroom is warm, water hot and all clean so frankly, with 33 miles of trails, we are staying and working for the week. I had to reply my starlink to get online and it took a few tries to find a workable direction but I did and plugged in to the bathroom which they said was fine. Spent Sunday exploring this huge place.
If you like tugboats you'll love this place.
Tom Sawyer RV park was really cute and the staff was very helpful and communicative regarding check in. The campground is set on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River. We arrived in time to see the sunset and woke up in time to see the sunrise over the river, both were spectacular. We stayed on site 67 right on the river, it had both water and electric hookups, neither of which we ended up using. There is a ton of space for a dog to run around, but unfortunately lots of people don’t pick up after their pooch, so that put a little damper on play time. The main reason for only 3 stars was the bathrooms, they were pretty run down and I would definitely not want to take a shower in them. Great place for one night passing though. If for the views alone.
We live 15 miles from this park so we camp here often. It's quiet and peaceful. There is little to no service but we love to just relax without phones.
Called to make reservations and no one called back.
A bit out of town but a great spot on the river.
Needs updated
Tent area had to many insects which made it difficult to set up camp. No fires in the area due to grass nor fire rings. RV sites look great since you can be near the river
Very nice park, NO cell phone service though (C-Spire). Enjoyed the hiking trails and views.
Was told on the phone to just pick a spot and pay on my way out in the morning since I arrived after office closed. Many spots to choose from in several separate loops. Heated bathrooms have very clean showers with hot water. Street lamps around site made me feel safe although I can see how people might find them annoying. You have to drive pretty far into the park to get to the sites but that seems to discourage locals from driving through randomly like I’ve seen in other places. I had 2 bars of Verizon service and was able to text and use data.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IT MIGHT HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE. While I was staying at this park and working there, I requested that the trees around my RV and the surrounding areas be cut down. This refers to the week of June 6, 2022. During that time, my manager informed the maintenance personnel that my limbs needed to be trimmed. Seeing the maintenance technician cut the limbs off the lady's tree in lot 31, I asked him to cut my limbs when he finished. He told me he would handle it since this was part of his duties. He was responsible for this task, so I trusted him! Despite my return from vacation the week of June 27, 2022, the limbs in my yard were still uncut. Therefore, another Maintenance technician informed me that a park customer had their limbs trimmed despite what he had promised. Although many requests have been made to remove my limbs, no action has been taken. Consequently, branches and limbs touching the camper's sides have scratched, rubbed, and dissolved the paint. My stay here, working for the park, provided me with an insight into how incompetent the management is. One of the biggest problems seems to be the parks employees' history of negligence and nepotism. An early morning tree limb struck my camper on July 9, 2022, causing permanent damage. I contacted the maintenance personnel and front desk clerk. In spite of my message being received and viewed at 5:55 a.m., no one responded until 8:20 a.m. The front desk clerk responded with this message; I let the maintenance manager know, and my brother know. Sorry about that. That's a slap in the face, especially considering he saw my text at 5:55am when we were barricaded in the camper. Although it was early, nobody seemed to be concerned about the tree and the damages. It seems unreasonable that no one would answer the emergency number, when half of the employees live in the park. I'd like to know why no one helped us cut and remove the tree. This is what you pay your employees for, right? Maintenance manager eventually appeared and told us that these types of trees fall continuously and that there have been a few that have fallen in the past year. At 6:20pm, the maintenance technician and new manager arrived to pick up the limbs that my husband and I had cut and stacked for them earlier. I feel as if my family's life was endangered because of the negligence of the park employees. By God's grace, we were not injured. I hope future customers will be taken more seriously by this company. I have incurred over $2000 in damages to my camper and have been told I would be reimbursed. The reimbursement has not been made, and nobody has bothered to contact me. I have sent them emails, but they have ignored them. You only had to make it right for me. You can expect the same treatment from Northgate as well. In the picture, you will see my damaged RV as well as the email asking for receipts for reimbursement. If you look closely, you can see limbs all over lot 31 RV. Avoid making the same mistake I did and ruining your property.

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
Great spot right on the Mississippi River, barges traveling up and down day and night. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets, close to Memphis Tennessee also.
Beech Point Campground is an amazing lakeside spot. Our site came with a bench to view the lake and tent pad is in the perfect spot. It was peaceful and provided the perfect place to recharge our batteries! The bathrooms were very nice. Throughout the campground, sewer hook-ups are available.
We have stayed here twice for overnights on a coast to coast trip with a 28’ Airstream. The pull through spots are level, overlook the river and e/w/s hookups are easy to connect. The spots are at a slight angle so each one has a view of the river and are spaced a good distance apart. Verizon only has 1 bar but is still working so I cannot complain.
Very basic bathroom & shower. Poor construction craftsmanship. Only 6 bathrooms for 130 spots. Dusty gravel sites. Riverbank needs more grounds maintenance
Dusty (dry weather), with predominately gravel fairly level sites; some concrete pads.
Small trailer Laundry/bath/shower in western portion of sites.
Big draw is the Mississippi River that borders the south portion of the park.
Absolutely a hidden Gem! Amazing views and everything is so clean and beautiful! We were even able to spot an Eagle!! Just perfect in every way.
Great spot next to river.
Found this campsite on the Dyrt and was pleasantly surprised with the location and family friendly atmosphere. Right on the River but not swimable water. In an industrial park but felt very safe. Just a few minutes from the interstate.
The tent site is just a primitive grassy group area but had tons of shade from giant oak trees and is right next to the bathhouse.
Laundry is free on the second story of the bathhouse which was a wonderful treat.
The bathrooms weren’t awful but could use some TLC.
Tent sites do not get picnic tables. No fire rings.
Overall a decent night’s stay - whatever you do don’t forget your bug spray!
Campsite is right on the river and you can see the river from many sites. Gravel sites are flat. Washrooms are limited but adequate. Easy off rte 40 and just 15 minutes from downtown Memphis. No WiFi detectable at this site.
Nice little park on the banks of the Mississippi River.
This has been a very clean and relaxing stay. Perfect weekend!
