"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."
TravelerThis place is very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that!
We arrived after hours and our site had a pamphlet with our name and some basic information for our stay.
In the morning, the spot was very beautiful and tucked away in the woods with visibility to the lake down the hill.
It rained briefly and our spot was down a slight hill so there was a bit of concern with puddling, but there was proper drainage and the site didn’t puddle as much as we would’ve thought! The site was very leveled!
We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!
When we left we stopped by the visitor center that had a pretty wide range of things to do with a gift store. The staff and rangers were very nice!
We would visit again!
GuideSmall, tight campground that has no amenities at all, but is priced accordingly. This campground has full hookups at every site, the sites are tight enough together that opposing slides wouldn’t fit, there are no bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. It is conveniently located very close to I40 and is minutes from shopping and restaurants.
Added bonus……the WiFi is rock solid. I didn’t bother using my Starlink as I was able to stream from the campgrounds wifi.
LegendWe have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 50 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The sites themselves all seemed pretty level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful and about half full while we were there. Our site, 50, was a pull-through, as were several, but most were back in. There is some shade depending on the site. The bathhouses are showing their age a bit.
AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of 5GE service but 0 MB/s of throughput. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 13 MB/s.
RangerArrived 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.
