Best Campgrounds near Olive Branch, MS

399 Reviews

Campgrounds near Olive Branch, Mississippi primarily consist of developed RV parks and family-oriented camping resorts within easy driving distance of Memphis attractions. The area includes several established facilities like EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Horn Lake, both offering full hookups for RVs alongside tent camping options. Most camping areas in this region are commercially operated with concrete pads, electricity, water, and sewer connections. While primarily catering to RV travelers, several campgrounds like Jellystone Park also provide cabin rentals and glamping accommodations for those seeking more comfort.

Many campgrounds in the Olive Branch area maintain year-round operations with consistent availability regardless of season. Permits and reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer months when Memphis tourism peaks. As one camper noted, "This is a huge campground and the price for a spot was at least double what we would pay elsewhere, but it's only 20 minutes from Memphis attractions." Sites at popular parks fill quickly, particularly during special events and holidays. The terrain throughout the region is relatively flat with good road access, making most campgrounds accessible without special vehicles or equipment. Travelers should be aware that many facilities primarily serve long-term guests, with limited availability for overnight visitors.

Campers report that most established sites near Olive Branch provide clean facilities and well-maintained grounds, though many lack natural features like hiking trails or water access. According to one visitor, "This park is all concrete with level sites. Huge dog park and close to any type of store you might need." Several reviewers mentioned road noise from nearby highways and occasional aircraft noise from Memphis International Airport affecting some campgrounds. Family-friendly amenities distinguish the better-rated campgrounds, with swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities available at certain locations. Sites directly bordering Memphis offer urban convenience but less nature immersion than state parks further from the city. For those seeking more natural surroundings, T.O. Fuller State Park and Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park lie within 30-45 minutes of Olive Branch, providing more traditional outdoor camping experiences with greater privacy.

    Oak Grove (MS) — Sardis Lake

    Good place

    Quiet campground with a lake you can fish and have a fishing boat. Pontoons are acceptable. Bathrooms are decent and the camps pot accommodated my 36ft 5th wheel.

    Chewalla Lake Recreation Area

    A great place to do nothing.

    The 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.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    Decent RV park Right on the mississippi

    Low 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.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    4.4 stars

    Holy 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.
