    Mississippi River State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    This small campground is beautiful and kept very clean. Sites are full hookup. The bath house is very clean. There are four private toilet/shower rooms. All handicapped accessible. My favorite sites are 12, 13, and 14. My least favorite were 9, 10, and 11, but they are pull through sites.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    Decent RV park Right on the mississippi

    Low key RV Park, and sites are a bit close together, but it's right on the Mississippi, and is wonderful views of the river! The staff was extremely helpful. Some of the sites only have 50 and 30 amp power, and I primarily use 20 amp for my camper van, and the staffer was very willing to help me switch sites to accommodate my needs.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    4.4 stars

    Holy heck the drive getting to this place is crazy- left off the interstate, through a shady part of Memphis, past all kinds of industry, across tracks and over a dike, down a curvy bumpy gravel road past ancient campground signs and various unrelated turn offs.... When you get to the park check in building it's a relief but not a departure from what you've just seen lol. However, the woman who checked us in was very nice. Driving into the campground is almost as weird- random electrical towers, old tree houses falling down from floods, debris scattered here and there...... We got a riverfront pull through site, which was cool but not appreciated as much at it should have been due to the real feel of 95 degrees when we pulled in and zero shade to setup in. As evening rolled around, the beauty of this place came alive. We ate dinner in the shade due to the smart layout of the sites, and as the breeze picked up we could enjoy the scenery in earnest for the first time. Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream. The distant banks of the Tennessee side showed their sandy promontory. As the sun began to set, we walked along the river and climbed on huge logs and ran up and down the river bank. The RVs parked here along the river were classy and in stark contrast to the less than well maintained grounds. As I sat on the bench with my sons at dusk looking out across the mighty miss, the condition of the campground wasn't on my mind. This place is worth a stop for a day or two as you explore Memphis. Riverfront sites are a must.

    Green's Quiet Acre

    Great spot

    Stayed at Green’s Quiet Acre and couldn’t be happier. The lot was clean, level, and had full hookups. Quiet, safe location with easy access to town. Owner was friendly and made everything simple. Definitely recommend if you’re passing through or need a long-term spot.
