"The COE has been working on upgrading different sections of the campground at this location! It's nice to see places put money back into their campgrounds!"
"Some are in a good spot on the camp side of the trailer, but a few are on the complete wrong side of the camper. Recently updated to full hookup sites for all sites."
"We didn’t have much interaction with the staff because as soon as I walked in, about 4p, I was directed to find my site information outside in the after hours arrival box."
"One exit north has everything you need; food, Aldi's, Walmart.
The Dog Run is a huge area."

"It was right on the lake, but shade was limited. The place is fairly clean, and there are clean bathrooms and showers. Over all it’s all right. Nothing too fascinating."
"They are right on the lake and relatively separate from the other sites. However, I do recommend getting those sites together for a group."
$30 / night
"A big, undeveloped lake in Northern Mississippi? Yep, indeedy!!!
We stayed here for two nights to break up the long drive between Nashville and Petit Jean in Arkansas."
"Nice spot for simple outdoor recreation like kayaking or SUP on a lake. Almost all sites have a walk down to the water."
"Great spot right on the Mississippi River, barges traveling up and down day and night. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets, close to Memphis Tennessee also."
"Loved waking up every morning to the sunrise over the Mississippi River (2 young kids means we get up early 😁), watching the barges and running around in the big grassy areas!"
"Cicadas will drive you mad (even with earplugs I struggled to sleep but can't do anything about them..just fyi)."
"There is a dump station at the entrance of the campground. There is a 4.5 mile hiking trail and a 2 mile novice trail."
"This is an off the beaten path area for standard recreation. It’s technically a boat ramp that accesses Arkabutla Lake with picnic and camping areas nearby."
"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."
"This is a really nice campground just outside of Memphis, TN. They have a swimming pool, playground, covered party pavilion, laundry and lots of kids activities. They also have cabins for rent."
"It is located next to Elvis Presley’s Memphis and across the street from Graceland- it’s a busy area."
"You can walk right from the RV park to the museum. There’s a private gate from the campground to leads to the museum so you don’t have to drive anywhere."
$23 / night
"You get access to the indoor pool in the hotel.
The problem? Outside of gambling there's not a lot to do unless you want to go for a drive. We drove over to Helena/West Helena (neat bridge!)"
"RV park is nice and clean, someone goes around picking up your trash just needs to be placed in front of trailer. Beautiful sunset views. The casino has some cool movie memorabilia displayed."
GuideArrived after hours to Campsite area A (sites 1-41). Note: reservation app does was not allow same day reservations, so find "available" site and pay at kiosk at visitor center. Hard to see park at night but in the morning found clean restrooms and shower --a happy find. Park offers nice large sites for tent and RVs with power, water, picnic table & fire rings. Really nice campgrounds with golf and equestrian facilities near by.
TravelerThis 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.
GuideLove this place since I was a child
TravelerSites are paved and full hookups at site. Nice view!
RangerWell kept, no laundry right now.
ScoutThe campgrounds are very clean and full of blooming Crape Myrtles. Pretty park with nice level pull through, lots of shade. Friendly .management. The Cafe next door is great. We walked over and had the all you can eat seafood buffet. There is a fully stocked grocery store next to the park as well. Great deal for $42-47 bucks.
ScoutThe shaded footpaths make walking the trails on a hot day still enjoyable. Quiet, low humidity, and plenty of camp sites to choose from make this location a great place to unplug and relax.
TravelerLow 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.
LegendHoly 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.
