Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis provides a pet-friendly camping experience with multiple accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and glamping units. The campground features two dog run areas, one located at the front of the park and another further back, allowing pets to exercise off-leash in designated spaces. Sites are well-maintained with grassy areas between campsites, though they tend to be close together with limited privacy and shade. The family-oriented resort has concrete pads for RVs, and pets are permitted throughout the property with standard leash requirements. The campground's cleanliness extends to pet areas, with the property being exceptionally well-kept according to multiple guests.
EZ Daze RV Park offers a huge dog park area on its concrete-padded property located just off I-55 in Southaven. The park primarily caters to RVs but also accepts tent campers with pets. All sites feature level concrete pads with grassy areas between spaces, providing consistent surfaces for dog walking. The property maintains strict cleanliness standards, including fines for improper disposal of pet waste or cigarette butts. Located in a business district that backs up to a residential area, the park provides code-protected bathrooms and secured grounds that create a safe environment for evening dog walks. Nearby amenities include pet supply stores accessible within minutes, with the campground situated just one exit north of groceries, Walmart, and Aldi. The park's proximity to Memphis attractions places it approximately 15-20 minutes from downtown activities while offering a quieter setting for pets sensitive to noise.

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.
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 Southaven
Pet friendly camping near Southaven, Mississippi centers on several well-maintained locations within a 30-mile radius of the Tennessee-Mississippi border. Situated in the flat Mississippi Delta region at approximately 300 feet elevation, this area experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F and mild winters rarely dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds in this region have concrete pads to protect campers during occasional heavy rainfall periods.
What to Do
Mississippi River watching: At Tom Sawyer's RV Park, campers enjoy prime views of river traffic. "Watching the tug boats moving up and down the river all day and night was relaxing," notes Stacey, while Pat&Amanda D. add, "Loved waking up every morning to the sunrise over the Mississippi River, watching the barges and running around in the big grassy areas!"
Swimming opportunities: Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park offers a swimming pool during summer months. Es T. reports, "Rec'd reduced swim passes and the kids enjoyed the pool area," while Ryan S. explains, "A lot of people do love to come here to enjoy the pool during the summer though!"
Wildlife observation: Several campgrounds feature fishing ponds and nature trails. Wild Sage F. says of Dub Patton Campground, "It was right on the lake, but shade was limited. The place is fairly clean, and there are clean bathrooms and showers." Another camper mentions, "Storm damage trees made firewood plentiful."
What Campers Like
Free laundry facilities: Some campgrounds offer unexpected amenities. TK n E. noted at Tom Sawyer's RV Park, "Beautiful park right by the river. Friendly, helpful staff, free laundry, and even some small walking trails!" Christine U. confirmed, "Clean restroom, free laundry and free WiFi."
Convenient Memphis access: T.O. Fuller State Park Campground provides proximity to urban attractions. David P. shared, "Had a fantastic time staying here... 10 minutes to Graceland. 20 minutes to Beale Street, 30 minutes to The Lorraine Motel." Ryan S. noted, "T.O. Fuller SP Is a decent campground situated 5 miles from Graceland and about 15 minutes (by car) from downtown Memphis."
Dog-specific facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated pet areas. At Sun Retreats Horn Lake, Andrew shares, "The Dog Run is a huge area," complementing the pet-friendly policies many campers appreciate.
What You Should Know
Security considerations: Memphis-adjacent campgrounds often have security measures. Karen from EZ Daze RV Park explains, "Code to the bathrooms, which is appreciated especially as the park is located in a business area and backs up to a residential neighborhood."
Seasonal considerations: Mosquitoes are problematic during warm months. Ryan S. warns about Meeman-Shelby, "MOSQUITOS. 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."
Road access variables: Some campgrounds have challenging approaches. Greg S. describes reaching Tom Sawyer's RV Park: "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."
Tips for Camping with Families
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds have playground equipment. Ryan S. notes at Meeman-Shelby, "There is also an updated playground in the campground area that looks very nice." Angela C. mentions Sun Retreats Horn Lake has "a store and propane, playground, dog run, pool, showers and laundry, gold mining station, and sports courts."
Educational opportunities: Hernando Point and other campgrounds offer hiking trails with nature programs. Jason G. says, "The sites were easy to get into and the campground was quiet and the setting is really beautiful," while another camper mentions there are "plenty of trails available" for exploration.
Entertainment options: Some campgrounds arrange special activities. Jeremy H. recalls at Graceland RV Park, "The highlight of our stay here, however, was the opportunity to take a free pink Cadillac limo ride to Marlowe's for superb BBQ. Our children loved this opportunity."
Tips from RVers
Site selection guidance: Concrete pads dominate at most locations but vary in quality. Thomas R. 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," suggesting selecting sites away from flight paths.
Leveling challenges: Topography varies across campgrounds. Nancy W. notes at T.O. Fuller State Park, "About half of the sites are on a slight incline that we would consider unlevel. Sites have electric (30 and 50 amp) and water that are easy to reach."
Power considerations: Electrical reliability differs between locations. Andrew at Sun Retreats Horn Lake described specific power issues: "We experienced a problem with our Powerdog 50 EPO Surge protector getting an E1 and E2 code error from the pedastals... checked my Powerdog app and it showed 142.5 volts on line 2."
