EZ Daze RV Park near Hernando welcomes pets with a designated dog park that campers describe as "huge." The park maintains concrete pads for RVs with grassy areas between sites, offering clean facilities including modern bathrooms and showers. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis in Horn Lake also accommodates pets across its tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping options. Both campgrounds maintain well-kept grounds with EZ Daze featuring all-concrete sites with level pads and Jellystone offering sites with trees providing shade at most locations. Dub Patton Campground and South Abutment Recreation Area near Coldwater accept pets at their lakeside campsites. Most campgrounds in the area require leashed pets in camping areas, though designated exercise areas allow off-leash play. The level concrete sites at EZ Daze make for easy walks with pets through the campground.
Multiple dog-friendly campgrounds near Hernando provide lake access, with Dub Patton and South Abutment situated along Arkabutla Lake where pets can cool off during warmer months. Camping with dogs requires preparation for Mississippi's summer heat, with morning or evening walks recommended during peak season. The campgrounds maintain well-marked pet waste stations throughout their grounds. Jellystone Park includes multiple playgrounds alongside pet areas, making it suitable for families traveling with both children and dogs. Some sites at Kellys Crossing Campground allow tent camping with pets in more primitive settings, though facilities are more limited than at the developed RV parks. Walgreens and other stores near some campgrounds offer delivery service for emergency pet supplies. The super clean facilities at EZ Daze include modern restrooms and showers for campers after a day of outdoor activities with their pets.

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.

TravelerPats Bluff
We stayed here for two nights at site #1. Overall a quiet and peaceful experience. Got serenaded by the crows and bluejays. Saw a couple armadillos…well, we heard them first. They sound like a herd of bison running through the leaves! Got to see a cool tree frog outside the restroom. The showers were not the best, but private. The only access to the lake is by the boat ramp which doesn’t allow you anywhere to walk down to the lake from this side if you just want to take a stroll. The price is now $24 a night. There was a burn ban, so no fire for us.

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

Ray Houser's RV Park
Plain. Few trees.
Owners/managers have been very helpful and accommodating . This camp is a work in progress but I have nothing to complain about. Seems safe and has been very quiet since we got here. $40/full hookups. Two bars T-Mobile but I am using StarLink Mini. I am sure this will earn a 5th Star when the makeover is complete.

Great Location
This was our first RV trip and it was everything we hoped for. The site was spacious and mostly level. Met a great guy who helped me level our trailer and gave me a few pointers too! Thank you Jason!😀. The deer we saw across the street were icing on the cake!
Liesel G.GuideJohn W. Kyle State Park Campground
Quite Scenery beside the lake
We stayed at camp spot 216 with our 36 ft class A RV. It had full hook up and our stay for 1 night was scenic and quiet. There is only ONE functioning bathroom in this lowered end camp ground at the time of our stay and is only has cold water showers. The facility was clean though. The camp hosts at the gate house were, helpful, polite and friendly. We paid $38 for the night at this Premium location with waterfront. No swimming allowed in the lake, but you can fish. Would stay here again for a pit stop, but since we cant bathe in the bathhouse I wouldn't recommend a long stay unless you had your own camper with shower ans toilet facility to use.

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.
Guide to Hernando
Campgrounds near Hernando, Mississippi primarily serve as gateways to the Arkabutla Lake recreation area with sites situated 15-20 miles from the city center. The terrain around these camping areas features rolling hills with elevations between 200-300 feet above sea level. Water levels at lakeside campgrounds fluctuate seasonally, with sites often becoming unavailable during high water periods in spring.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Dub Patton Campground provides direct lake access for anglers. "I love the fishing," notes Thomas W., who considers the Corps of Engineers camp "top rated." The campground maintains clean facilities while offering water and electric hookups without sewer connections.
Barge watching: Tom Sawyer's RV Park offers Mississippi River views with unique transportation sightings. "Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream," describes Greg S. The riverside sites allow campers to observe commercial river traffic throughout the day.
Water recreation: South Abutment Recreation Area provides direct lake access for paddlers. "Nice spot for simple outdoor recreation like kayaking or SUP on a lake. Almost all sites have a walk down to the water," reports Tricia C. Boat ramps allow for easy launching while shore fishing remains popular during cooler months.
What campers like
Spacious waterfront sites: Lake views and generous spacing between sites rank highly among camper preferences. "Sites are paved and full hookups at site. Nice view!" Anna D. mentions about Hernando Point, where many campers appreciate the waterfront positioning and privacy between sites.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained restrooms and shower facilities consistently earn positive reviews. "Super clean showers, bathroom and laundry. The grounds are impeccable and sites and roads are all paved," reports LuAnn R. about EZ Daze RV Park, noting site 21 as particularly private at the end of a row.
Recreational variety: Family-friendly amenities beyond basic camping facilities appeal to visitors. "This RV park served us well for our first night in our Hymer. Clean and surprisingly quiet," writes KimnJohn M., who recommends riverside sites for optimal views of boat traffic and shoreline scenery.
What you should know
Seasonal water levels: Lake-adjacent campgrounds experience significant water level fluctuations. "The lake was low, low, low. As there were only about 5 other campers there, we had our choice of sites!" notes Bran P. During drought periods, waterfront sites may be separated from the shoreline by exposed lake bed.
Urban proximity: Some campgrounds near Hernando sit close to urban areas or highways. "It's a city RV park, what do we really expect? It's not camping for sure," Jessica P. explains about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis, mentioning "noise, sure, but nothing a fan or AC could drown out. Airplanes every few hours, traffic from a nearby highway."
Service availability: Cell service and internet access vary significantly between campgrounds. "Strong wifi, cable reception wasn't great," Karen notes, adding that some rural sites require signal boosters for adequate connectivity. T.O. Fuller State Park experiences limited cell reception in certain areas of the campground.
Tips for camping with families
Budget-friendly options: Corps of Engineer campgrounds provide economical alternatives to commercial parks. "Rate was $10 with Sr Lifetime Pass," mentions Annell N. about Dub Patton Recreation Area, making it substantially less expensive than private RV parks charging $70-100 nightly.
Entertainment planning: Campgrounds without built-in activities require advance planning. "Had a huge spot with lots of shade. Only complaint was there was no playground in the actual camping area," Susan R. reports. Family campers often bring portable games and sports equipment for on-site entertainment.
Security considerations: Urban-adjacent campgrounds maintain varying security measures. "24/7 security. Staff onsite in office from 9 am to 4 pm," states Renee H. when describing the dog-friendly campgrounds near Hernando at Graceland RV Park, noting security features matter for families concerned about urban camping locations.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Choosing appropriate sites based on rig size and setup needs requires research. "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups," deb K. explains, adding that "excellent WiFi and verizon reception" make EZ Daze suitable for remote workers traveling by RV.
Area navigation challenges: Routes to certain campgrounds present difficulties for large vehicles. "Holy heck the drive getting to this place is crazy... through a shady part of Memphis, past all kinds of industry, across tracks and over a dike, down a curvy bumpy gravel road," warns Greg S. RVers should research approach routes carefully, especially for river-adjacent campgrounds.
Power considerations: Some campgrounds experience electrical issues affecting sensitive equipment. "I tried it on another pedestal in the morning and received an E2 error code. I checked my Powerdog app and it showed 142.5 volts on line 2," reports andrew, suggesting surge protectors may be essential for protecting electronics at certain facilities.
