GuideSouth Abutment Recreation Area
We stayed here for two nights. Got here after dark in a torrential downpour and it was my first time backing in our new camper. Gotta admit, took about an hour and we got completely soaked, but got it backed in. There’s definitely a lesson in there. The rest of the time has been beautiful and peaceful. The bathrooms and showers are clean with plenty of hot water on tap. Plenty of space between most campsites so privacy was never a concern. Most of the close by walking trails are closed, so we visited a nearby one called Ark Trail just a few miles away, which was awesome! At the time of our stay, the access road for the Arkabutla Lake Dam was closed, so it has a detour that takes you another couple miles around.
Dawn S.GuideGraceland RV Park & Campground
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.

Pats 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.
Evelyn M.ScoutTom Sawyer's RV Park
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.

Guide to Olive Branch
Tom Sawyer's RV Park provides riverfront sites that put campers right on the Mississippi River in West Memphis, approximately 19 miles from Olive Branch. Situated in the Delta region where the average elevation is about 300 feet, the area's humid subtropical climate brings hot summers and mild winters. Most campgrounds maintain year-round operations despite occasional Mississippi River flooding that can affect low-lying sites.
What to do
Watch river traffic: From Tom Sawyer's RV Park, campers can observe commercial vessels navigating the Mississippi. "Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream," notes Greg S. in his review of the riverside experience.
Visit historical attractions: The campgrounds serve as convenient bases for Memphis excursions. "The RV park is in a part of Shelby Farms Park which is a 4,500 acres of lakes, bike and running trails, playgrounds and so much more," explains Melisa J. about Agricenter RV Park, which puts visitors within 20 minutes of downtown Memphis attractions.
Explore nature trails: State parks in the area offer hiking opportunities with varying difficulty levels. Richard mentions that Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park "has tons of trees. Every site feels like it was cut right out of the trees," making it ideal for those seeking a more natural setting amid the urban-adjacent campgrounds.
What campers like
Concrete pad quality: Many reviewers appreciate the level pads at EZ Daze RV Park. "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups. Workers all very pleasant," writes deb K., highlighting the stability these pads provide for larger RVs and fifth wheels.
Security features: Campers value the safety measures at several campgrounds. "24/7 security. Staff onsite in office from 9 am to 4 pm," notes Renee H. about Graceland RV Park & Campground, which maintains controlled access through security checkpoints.
Riverside views: The Mississippi River views receive consistent praise from Tom Sawyer's visitors. "Nice size spaces with square table and benches, concrete pad, grass area view of the River (#91), across from bathhouse and laundry on the end of the row," shares Sue S., detailing the riverside site amenities.
What you should know
Site variations: Campgrounds near Olive Branch differ significantly in site spacing and quality. At Hernando Point, Jason G. reports "The sites were easy to get into and the campground was quiet and the setting is really beautiful," contrasting with the closer quarters at other parks.
Seasonal challenges: Summer brings intense mosquito activity at some locations. Ryan S. warns about Meeman-Shelby: "If you go after the weather warms up, be forewarned that the mosquitos will eat you alive. We mostly camp at Meeman-Shelby in the fall/winter. We do not camp Spring/Summer."
Noise considerations: Urban proximity means some noise intrusion. One reviewer cautions about Southaven RV Park: "Incoming flights to Memphis start flying overhead at 4:15 am. They take a direct path over top of this park," indicating noise-sensitive campers should consider site location carefully.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis offers extensive recreation options. Amy L. shares, "There were several playgrounds my son enjoyed & we had a blast doing the scavenger hunt. We were too early in the season for the blow-up slides but we definitely plan on coming back to enjoy those."
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature updated play equipment. "Areas are very clean kid friendly playgrounds. Each space was far enough but not but also in proximity to each other for those who afraid to camp out somewhere totally alone," reports Nicole about her first-time camping experience at Meeman-Shelby.
Special transportation: Some restaurants offer unique travel experiences for families. Emily B. mentions, "There is a great BBQ joint up the road, Marlowe's, that'll chauffeur you to and from the campground in a pink, pig limo. They have huge portions and great food."
Tips from RVers
Long-term stay options: For extended stays, several dog friendly campgrounds near Olive Branch provide monthly rates. "The park is nice and clean. Really quiet the night we stayed. But don't expect much Info or help if checking in after hours," advises Mark O. about EZ Daze, noting that reservation clarity is important.
Site selection strategy: Backing into sites requires planning at some locations. Andrew from Agricenter International warns, "We watched an super long RV struggle to back into their site, so I wouldn't recommend this campground to RVs that require pull through sites."
Utility management: Power quality can vary at campgrounds in the area. One Agricenter International reviewer notes, "They are working on adding gravel to the spaces, right now though when it rains you are in a swamp. The spaces are also very close together."
