Quiet place to relax.
Wife and I camp here 2 or 3 times a year. We have a popup camper, so we have camped on tent and rv sites. Rangers are top-notch and friendly. Bath houses are clean. They have installed a small playground for smaller children. We camp during the week between holidays, so not many campers there. Very quiet and relaxing. Around October, stink bugs are a big nuisance. The sites are kinda close together. But this is a very nice campground.

A relaxing weekend
Over all it was great. Very quite. There is pretty much no cell service heading up or at the camp. They do offer WiFi. My biggest concern would me that camp site 26 is a little to close for my liking. But if you have like two families that want go together then 26&27 would be a great choice.

Great little campground near Paragould
This campground was perfect for our little family reunion near Paragould. We booked three sites together and they were close enough that it was easy to visit each other. It was also a very nice little campground with lots of shade and the bathrooms were very clean and had showers. We also enjoyed the little lake and playground for the kids. The only downside were the mosquitoes, but one of us had a screened canopy that went over the picnic table, which worked great. We were very impressed with the staff and the campground and will likely return.

Nice clean sites
Sites are easy to get into and the camp area is kept very clean. Hiking trails right out of the campground for short daily adventures.

Loved it here!
Just so beautiful. Trails were well marked but not for faint of heart. Campsites were pretty close together and bathrooms not too great. Little black bugs swarmed on warm nights right a dusk for an hour. There’s an airport nearby and planes were constantly flying over one of the nights. We were the only tent there. Tent pads aren’t clearly marked but plenty of level ground to set up. Lake was gorgeous too, I was literally the only one out there.

No heads up about having no power
They knew they had no power and didn’t give us a heads up before showing up. We paid for FHU which means full hook up. No refund and no options to help us. They just told us to deal with it.

Good Camp ground 20 minutes from Memphis
First time at a KOA, and it was a good experience. Our stay was for 3 nights. Easy check-in and staff were very helpful. They also have a cafe that serves breakfast from Thursday - to Sunday ( due to staffing shortage). Enjoyed Beale Street and of course, toured Elvis's house and complex.
Sites were close together, our pad was part concrete and part gravel, but we were able to level our 5th wheel just fine.

Nice quiet place and friendly
Beautiful place to camp. Everyone running the park was super nice and accommodating. The only drawback that I can think of was the mosquitos. Shower house/bathroom cleaned and well maintained.

Perfect for a weekend hideout ♥️
We live close and love being able to break away and isolate ourselves from the world. There is no cell reception really at campsites and that just makes it better. Quiet and clean spot for a weekend away.

Convenient location
This campground is located very convenient location. Some people complained noise from the freeway but it didn’t bother much form us. Bath house was clean.

Spacious, Quiet, Clean
A lot of space in between sites, concrete pads, grassy and quiet. Bathhouse is being renovated so you have to be self contained. FHU

Nice Campground
Ample spaces in some campgrounds while some have small area, still larger than most of other camping locations. It can still be better if they can make camp bed with gravel for tent camping
ODM F.TravelerCrowley's Ridge State Park
We Love Crowleys Ridge
Everything about this park is amazing. They recently redid the swimming area and cleaned and refilled with better water. They have paddle boats you can rent from Memorial Day through Labor Day. We have stayed many trips in this park. Site 1 is our favorite. Features pull through with a large area including tent pad and nice gathering area. We glamp camp and we’re able to set up a 16x20 tent, but the tent did go over the size of the pad. All sites have water and electricity, except for a few primitive sites. There is a nice campground and walking area. Also a great hiking trail which isn’t too hard. The park is close to Paragould with a Walmart and a dollar general is a couple miles away. The only site I wouldn’t recommend is site 9. It has a very steep hill and would only be good for very small campers or tent camping.

Off season, nice place to stop over for the night
Near highway, access road is narrow and a little rough. Called to check availability, staff seamed very nice, sent text with directions and check in info. Very reasonable for full hook-up and 50 amp service.
Joy W.RangerMeeman-Shelby Forest State Park
Great location for walking, hiking, biking
Campsites are mostly spacious and hosts are friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the trails and roads for walking/biking.
Not crowded and pretty quiet. August in Tennessee is hot and muggy!

Ridge sites at their best,
They did a stellar job of putting in sites on this ridge. They're pretty level although pretty close together. Water & electric and reasoonably priced. Both ATT & Verizon worked well. The wifi info listed above must be at the office only, as there was not signal near us, we use a hot spotor our phones.

Nice typical KOA. Good BBQ sandwiches
This shot up to a 4 because the had great BBQ pork sandwiches.
Typical KOA, nice pool, laundry facility. The Cafe has breakfast and for dinner pulled pork sandwiches or Pizza not bad.
Workers are very nice and do a great job of keeping everything neat and clean.
Nice kids play area and pool. Dog walk area.
Nice big shade trees. Not all sites have shade but most do.
Give it a 4, we will stay here again. Next time I would like to stay lo get to take the shuttle to Graceland.
Sites are fairly level and gravel.
Patrick W.RangerMeeman-Shelby Forest State Park
Really big state park
Good enough campground for one night stay. A bit of a walk to the bathrooms, but they were clean—flushing toilets and showers. At least 20 minutes to nearest grocery store.

Fantastic Campground with Fabulous Staff
My wife and I loved the campground and have never had better service from the parks staff.

Fort Pillow State Historic Park
Historical park
If you want level shaded sites, go else where. To start with the roads coming in are one lane, hilly & over grown. Only a handful of sites on the first, top, section have electric. Very hilly, unlevel sites. The lower, primitive sites are well shaded. Seems to be an old park due to the very narrow twisty roads. ATT & verizon cell services were off & on. Mostly off. Took our 26' coach thru the primitive section & thought we'd never maek it out, with the road & trees.
Killer museum with a ton of good civil war onfo. That was the best part of the part. Their signage is also mostly non-existant.

Nice experience
From arrival on it was a great experience. Clean bathhouse, beautiful pool, easy access. Store is nice and we’ll stocked ( albeit no dairy products like milk are sold here) nearest mini-mart is 4 miles away.

Lake Poinsett State Park
Beautiful Park
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend. Every site was booked but not crowded. Had a wonderful time fishing and hiking the 1.3 mile trail. This was our first stay, but will return. No Cell service for ATT. There is WiFi at the bathhouse, but was very sketchy due to the busy weekend. No swimming at the park. It is not allowed. Fishing is catch and release only except for Catfish and Brim due to recently reopening the lake.
