Tent campers near Wynne, Arkansas have several primitive camping options within driving distance. Mike Freeze Wattensaw Wildlife Management Area (WMA) offers free dispersed tent camping with multiple sites across its grounds, while Delta Heritage Trail State Park Campground provides more established tent sites with basic amenities. Maple Flat Group Campground near Marianna offers a walk-in tent camping experience in a wooded setting.
Access conditions vary significantly between campgrounds. Delta Heritage Trail State Park provides the most developed tent sites with amenities including picnic tables, fire pits, drinking water, and vault toilets for $15 per night. Sites are shaded but limited to just 10 spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis. Mike Freeze Wattensaw WMA features primitive tent sites with minimal facilities. Most sites are accessed via gravel roads that can be challenging to navigate, especially at night. The WMA has designated camping areas marked with blue rings on trees and small signs, though these can be difficult to locate without prior knowledge of the area.
Walk-in tent sites at Maple Flat Group Campground feature old-style tent pads scattered throughout a mossy, wooded area with vault toilets but no drinking water. Areas farther from main roads offer greater seclusion for tent campers seeking quiet experiences. Tent campers should be prepared for mosquitoes, particularly at Delta Heritage sites, where bug spray is essential. "We were able to make a little fire pit and were happy to see it so well kept with no trash," noted one visitor about the Wattensaw WMA sites. Some primitive tent locations within the WMA are situated near ponds, offering nature viewing opportunities but potentially more insects. Delta Heritage Trail campsites are close to trailheads, making them convenient bases for hiking adventures, though they require a short walk from parking areas to reach the tent sites.

Very easy to work with. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Walking distance to Graceland and a short ride to everything downtown. It's a beautiful campground. We would stay again.

Like others, we found the area outside the park to be industrial and a little dodgy, but once in the park itself, it is a real gem! The barge channel is right off the park's riverbank, so you get an up close look as they pass by

Graceland RV Park & Campground
A Great Place to Stay for the Full Memphis Experience
We really enjoyed our stay at Graceland RV Park and Campground. If you’re coming to Memphis to visit Graceland, it’s hard to beat the location. Being so close made everything easy and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the whole experience without rushing.
The Graceland Mansion tour was fantastic. Even if you’ve seen it countless times on TV, actually walking through Elvis’s home and seeing the rooms for yourself is something completely different. There’s so much history there, and it really gives you a sense of the man behind the legend.
We were equally impressed with the museums and exhibits. There is far more to see than we expected, from Elvis’s cars and stage outfits to memorabilia and displays covering his incredible career. Give yourself a good 3–4 hours at a minimum to see everything properly. You could easily spend longer if you’re a big Elvis fan.
While we were in Memphis, we also made the trip downtown to Beale Street, and we’re glad we did. It’s exactly the kind of place you picture when you think of Memphis — live music coming from the bars, plenty of restaurants, lots of places to grab a drink and a great atmosphere as you walk along the street. It made for a brilliant evening after spending the day at Graceland.
For us, staying at Graceland RV Park, touring the mansion and museums, and then experiencing the music, bars and restaurants of Beale Street made for a memorable Memphis visit.
We’d happily stay here again. If you’re traveling by RV and Graceland is on your bucket list, this is a great place to make your base.
Erin L.GuideHollywood Casino RV Park - Tunica
Only RV Park around Tunica Resorts
Booked a complete reservation(paid in full) online 2 weeks in advance and called a few days prior to inquire on check-in procedures and ask about early check in since we were coming from a few hours away. Was told that the RV Park has"any time" check in and when you check in proceed to the hotel registration desk to receive your site number. Upon arrival-- DO NOT FOLLOW THE SIGNS THAT DIRECT YOU TO THE RV PARK! Instead proceed down the far, far left arrow(not under the archway) around the back and that will take you to the hotel entrance where you can park easily to go inside and check in I reserved a pull through. We did not get a pull through. Every pull through was occupied but one and the water did not work on that site. We were given a back in site. I asked at check in if it was the same price since I booked a pull through and was told it was the same price. I also asked if we would fit and was informed that every site is the same length. They are not! We were given site#43. We did not even attempt it, we would not have fit. Our camper is 35 ft. And truck is 25 ft. I called the number and was transferred to the supervisor and explained the situation. By chance we were driving around and saw site#10 and inquired while she was on the phone with me. We fit in site#10. 1st and foremost, I am in no way bashing work camps. They serve a purpose and hubby has utilized them over the years with his previous employment. However, this is a work camp with a few travelers. Totally misrepresented online. It is not your typical casino RV park. It is run down along with the casino and several of the casinos in the Tunica area have been closed or are being torn down. It was quiet-ish. Being a work camp, diesels fired up between 3am-6am. People returned to their campers between 5pm-8pm. The bathhouse resembled a barracks after quitting time. Quiet time was 10pm and it was quiet until it was time to go to work. Everyone around did keep to themselves. Our"neighbors" were friendly and courteous. The RV park served its purpose to decompress and look at our route over the Mississippi River. We camped at Hollywood Casino Hotel& RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

Hollywood Casino RV Park - Tunica
No longer available for campers
Pulled in here after driving all day and the park was full of campers that looked to be somewhat long term. I went inside to pay for site 63 (which was empty and the camper next door said was used all the time for overnight camping) and they said we are full and there's no water at site 63. The manager said this park used to be used for casino customers, but now they are renting long term to construction workers. It would have cost $40 to stay if they had space. Too bad- we would have eaten in a casino restaurant and played a bit. We left and drove to Enid Lake and stayed at a COE CG that was one of the nicest ever, at $10 less for the night. Lessons learned-definitely need to call ahead even though people said just pull in no reservations needed-also- awesome stay for less just down the road. Spaces at Hollywood were close together, paved, there is laundry on site. Staff in the casino (hotel desk) were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful campsite close to city
This is our 3rd visit to this campground. Worth the short drive off Route 40 to get an awesome view of the river and nice benches along river if you’re not up for walking in the heat of summer. Rather level concrete and gravel spots.

Nice place
A couple of miles on a gravel road. It's in pretty good shape. Easy road for our 23 ft Mini Lite. We grabbed the first spot with a "camping spot" sign. Leveling was easy. Really good for an overnight stop. Some Verizon signal.

Nice place
Nice place after you get past the Oil refinery and the neighborhood. Once in park it is well maintained and safe. Nice to watch the bardges on the Mississippi
Guide to Wynne
Primitive tent camping near Wynne, Arkansas extends beyond marked campgrounds into wildlife management areas that provide secluded outdoor experiences. The region features a mix of public lands located within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, characterized by flat terrain, dense hardwood forests, and wetland ecosystems. Seasonal flooding affects accessibility to many sites, particularly during winter and spring months when rainfall is heaviest.
What to do
Wildlife viewing at dawn and dusk: Mike Freeze Wattensaw WMA offers exceptional nature observation opportunities, particularly for waterfowl and beaver activity. "There was a large pond with nearby primitive camping for free, if you need a night's rest and don't want to do the Walmart/travel centers this is your ideal spot with low traffic and a lot of natural beauty. Ducks, beevers, frogs and more," reports visitor Sky R.
Trail exploration year-round: Delta Heritage Trail State Park Campground serves as an excellent base camp for hiking adventures. "The staff is very knowledgeable and kind. Small place, mosquitoes were bad other than that it was great. We were invited to watch them feed the pet snake that was caught in the area," notes Hook C.
Canoe inlet exploration: The waterways near Maple Flat Group Campground provide opportunities for paddling adventures. "The lake has a lot of inlets to explore by canoe. It's a small campground that fills up since it's so close to Memphis (and to the river)," according to visitor reviews.
What campers like
Mossy woodland settings: Maple Flat Group Campground offers unique tent sites with distinctive features. "This is an old, boy scout style group camp. A couple of picnic tables are grouped together at the front of the camp and then there are several remnants of old tent pads throughout the area. Large trees, lots of moss and no overgrowth make this a beautiful place to explore," says Shana D.
Solitude on weekdays: Midweek campers report nearly empty campgrounds, even during peak seasons. "In all of my getting lost, on a Monday in early April 2023, I did not see another single, solitary soul. Where I camped, I also could not hear cars at all. I woke up to birds singing, and trees rustling," shares one tent camper.
Convenient highway access: Some Wattensaw WMA sites are positioned for easy overnight stops during longer journeys. "This is our first stop as we make our way from New Hampshire to California. Lots of large open sites. From what I can tell, there is no one else out here," reports Daniel S.
What you should know
Navigation challenges: Finding designated camping areas in Mike Freeze Wattensaw WMA requires patience and daylight hours. "Here's the thing. You cannot trust either Apple or Google maps to get you here by these coordinates. DO NOT just look for a body of water as you're going on the gravel road to let you know you've gotten to a legitimate campsite. The main thing to do is, as soon as you exit the road, whatever turn off you take, start looking for very small signs that say 'designated camping area'," advises Tavi C.
Limited availability: Delta Heritage Trail State Park Campground fills quickly during peak seasons and weekends. "Only 10 sites though and it is first come first serve. They have one bathroom at the visitor center with a cold water fountain inside!"
Road conditions vary: Access roads to primitive sites can damage vehicles if not navigated carefully. "The road access is gravel, but LARGE gravel that we are surprised didn't ruin our tires," warns one visitor about certain WMA access roads.
Tips for camping with families
Scout-friendly layout: The design of Maple Flat accommodates group activities. "Shady, wooded, pretty large individual sites...simple but a fine place," notes a visitor about the campground's arrangement.
Water-based activities: Areas near Mississippi River offer family-friendly exploration options. "Everyone spends their days out on the water but there's some trails too and tourist attractions outside the park for all ages," reports Kim B.
Camp markers: Teach children to identify designated camping areas in WMAs. "There are signs for designated camping and the trees have a blue ring painted around them, so it stands out," notes Jennifer H.
Tips from RVers
Surface conditions: Ground firmness varies significantly across camping areas. "A lot of the spots we saw were gravel so I'm not sure if it would be super comfortable to sleep here in a tent," reports one RVer about Wattensaw WMA.
Soft terrain awareness: After rain, even seemingly firm sites can become problematic. "Very nice spot found it quickly at night. Soft ground. Quick to get to off highway," advises Andrew K.
Size limitations: Most primitive sites cannot accommodate larger rigs. "Parking was slightly graded but an RV would be cool," notes a camper, suggesting small to medium rigs would manage best at most areas.
