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.

Several campgrounds near Horn Lake, Mississippi provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis, located directly in Horn Lake, offers family-friendly cabins with convenient access to the park's swimming pool, playground, and covered pavilion. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, approximately 30 minutes north, features rustic cabins nestled in a heavily wooded setting. According to one visitor, "The cabins look nice from the outside," though they noted the surrounding forest means "mosquitoes are terrible in the summer around dusk." Village Creek State Park Campground, about an hour away, provides 10 fully outfitted cabins with lake views and climate-controlled facilities nearby.
Cabin types range from basic rustic structures to more deluxe accommodations with full utilities. Memphis KOA in Marion, Arkansas offers standard KOA cabin camping options with pet-friendly policies. Most cabins in the region require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when family vacations peak. Village Creek State Park's cabins are situated in a quiet area with "good distance between sites" and access to two lakes for fishing and boating. Wall Doxey State Park Campground provides cabins in a more secluded setting about 45 minutes southeast of Horn Lake. Hollywood Casino RV Park in Tunica includes cabin options for those seeking proximity to entertainment venues.
Most cabin rentals provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor cooking options while others include refrigerators and microwaves. Visitors staying at cabins should pack insect repellent, especially during warmer months, as multiple reviewers mention significant mosquito and tick presence. Groceries and supplies are available at small markets within some parks, though selection is limited. The Shelby Forest General Store near Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park sells "a little bit of everything, including great food if you don't feel like cooking at the campsite." Cabin guests should check with specific parks about firewood policies, as some prohibit bringing outside wood.

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
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.

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.

Tom Sawyer's RV Park
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.
Karen R.ScoutTom Sawyer's RV Park
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

Decent
Not sure if it’s somewhere I would stay right now due to one section being closed.

What you should know
