Best Campgrounds near Collierville, TN

Camping areas around Collierville, Tennessee provide access to multiple mixed-use campgrounds within driving distance of the city. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, located approximately 25 miles northwest of Collierville, offers tent sites, RV hookups, and rustic cabins in a forested setting. T.O. Fuller State Park Campground provides another developed option with both tent and RV accommodations. Several commercial RV parks including Graceland RV Park & Campground and Memphis East Campground accommodate travelers seeking full hookups and amenities. The Mississippi River corridor features additional options like Tom Sawyer's RV Park in West Memphis, Arkansas, which provides riverfront camping with cabin rentals.

Most developed campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though seasonal considerations affect comfort and availability. Summer humidity creates challenging camping conditions, particularly in forested areas where mosquitoes can be problematic. Several state park campgrounds require reservations, especially during peak spring and fall periods when temperatures moderate. Bathhouse facilities vary significantly between locations, with state parks generally offering more reliable amenities than primitive sites. Cell service remains consistent throughout most of the region due to proximity to urban areas. As one camper noted about Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, "Campsites are mostly spacious and hosts are friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the trails and roads for walking/biking. Not crowded and pretty quiet. August in Tennessee is hot and muggy!"

Public lands near Memphis provide varied camping experiences depending on proximity to water features and urban areas. The Mississippi River represents a significant draw for campers, with riverfront sites receiving positive reviews for their unique perspectives. "Great spot right on the Mississippi River, barges traveling up and down day and night. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets," reported one visitor to Tom Sawyer's RV Park. Several reviewers mentioned concerns about proximity to sewage treatment facilities at T.O. Fuller State Park, noting occasional odor issues that affect the camping experience. Campgrounds farther from city centers like Wall Doxey State Park in Mississippi offer more secluded experiences with lake access, hiking trails, and fewer urban disruptions. Most mixed-use campgrounds in the region feature standard amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and nearby water access.

    Wall Doxey State Park Campground

    Pricey but ok for an overnight

    Heavily wooded campground with large sites well spaced. Concrete pads for your camper rig but watch your step. Lots of erosion around the edges. Sites do have electric and water service. I thought prices were a little high. With registration fee and taxes my two nights stay was about $70.

    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.

    country view rv park

    Close to Rt 40

    They have huge back in spots mostly level even though it’s gravel. It’s in a field so no frills. Dispersed campers look like they live there. It was a quick trip off 40 to get there and it was quiet and spacious. Good for an overnight rest.

    Serendipity Resort

    Warning to Blue Oval Families& Traveling Workers– AVOID Serendipity RV Park

    We were long-term tenants at Serendipity RV Park for over two years, paying$950/month. My husband works for Blue Oval, and we want to warn others: this park does not respect or value loyal tenants. On July 8, 2025, a Serendipity employee ran a mower into our RV, damaging our slide-out. Instead of taking responsibility, they brought in Ralph’s Mobile RV Repair—a contractor who showed up without notice and“repaired” it using silicone instead of 2 sided adhesive, it look horrible, he smearing silicone everywhere, and bent up parts of the trim that had not even were not even originally damaged. We documented everything, expressed our concerns immediately. Ralph returned later, didn’t even remove the old silicone, and caked more on top. When we pushed back, he became aggressive and confrontational—at one point suggesting he could“meet” my husband somewhere. Serendipity never inspected the work. Edward, who’s on-site daily, never once came to speak to us. Instead, we got a dismissive text saying they were“satisfied” with the work and that we should“file it on our insurance.” The damage was caused by their own employee—yet they refuse to make it right. On top of that:• They’ve overcharged our card multiple occasions and add illegal card processing fees.• in addition to the$950/monthly space rent, they have installed meters to charge electric ON TOP of the$950(they want MORE money but do not even maintain our lawns properly)• The park is poorly maintained. Grass gets a foot tall before it’s mowed, and employees recklessly use riding mowers near RVs. We were respectful, always paid on time, and expected to be treated fairly. Instead, we’ve dealt with poor repairs, price gouging, and total disregard. If you’re a Blue Oval worker or traveling family, do yourself a favor—avoid Serendipity and Ralph’s RV Repair. You deserve better.

    Serendipity Resort

    Trashy, unkept, rude staff, overpriced, no respect for guests

    My husband and I have always loved Serendipity and looked forward to visiting for the last several years.  That has definitely changed with the latest owners.  The girls in the office have smart mouths and zero customer service skills.  The grounds look awful, grown up grass everywhere.  It appears they only mow about 25%.  Food is poor and overpriced.  Ron and Daphne are truly missed.  There is no personality to Serendipity anymore.  It used to be a nice resort style rv park now it ranks as bottom of the barrel.  Just sad.

    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.


Guide to Collierville

Camping spots near Collierville, Tennessee range from urban-adjacent sites to more secluded options within a 30-mile radius. Most campgrounds in this region sit at elevations between 250-400 feet above sea level, with relatively flat terrain making them accessible for various camping setups. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity levels, creating challenging sleeping conditions in non-air-conditioned accommodations.

What to do

Fishing at local lakes: At Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, visitors can access boat rentals to explore the lake system. "You can travel to the boat ramp and marina and rent boats there or bring your own to take advantage of the lake which winds through various types of vegetation," explains a camper who enjoyed kayaking the "swampy feeling area."

Explore hiking options: The trail system at Meeman-Shelby offers varied terrain through mature forest. "I hiked both the Woodland and Pioneer Springs trails, each about 4 miles and along the way enjoyed just taking in the outdoors," notes one visitor who recommends bringing mosquito spray "because they come in droves" during late summer.

Visit farmers markets: The Agricenter International RV Park offers easy access to local produce. One reviewer mentioned, "The Farmer's Market is an easy walk from the park," making it convenient for campers to stock up on fresh food during their stay.

Memphis attractions access: From EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven, visitors have quick access to Memphis attractions. "Great spot if you're going to Graceland," notes one reviewer, with the park located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Memphis cultural sites.

What campers like

Riverfront views: Tom Sawyer's RV Park offers Mississippi River frontage that campers consistently praise. "Riverfront sites are a must," advises one visitor who enjoyed watching "tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace." Another camper appreciated "waking up every morning to the sunrise over the Mississippi River, watching the barges and running around in the big grassy areas!"

Security features: Several campgrounds prioritize safety measures. At Graceland RV Park, "24/7 security" was highlighted as a benefit, with one reviewer noting they "felt completely safe at the camp ground" due to the "security guard at the entrance" where guests must sign in to enter.

Clean facilities: Campgrounds with well-maintained bathhouses receive consistently positive feedback. One visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park remarked, "This place was so clean & quiet, we wished we could have stayed longer," adding they "couldn't get over how clean this place was."

Free amenities: Several parks offer unexpected complimentary services. At Tom Sawyer's RV Park, campers appreciated the "free laundry facilities" which were described as "very clean and nice with several machines."

What you should know

Noise considerations: Proximity to urban areas means some campgrounds experience noise issues. At Jellystone, one camper warned about "the busy highway RIGHT NEXT to the campsites" causing "very loud traffic noise all day and night."

Campground layouts: Site spacing varies significantly between locations. At Agricenter International, a reviewer noted "Almost all of the sites are buddy sites where your front door is facing your neighbor's. There is no privacy at all."

Seasonal operations: Many campgrounds change their amenity offerings throughout the year. A visitor to Jellystone observed, "We were staying off-season so there was no activities and they actually deflated the jumping pad," suggesting visitors should check which facilities are operating during planned travel dates.

Neighborhood contexts: The surrounding areas of some campgrounds present challenges. Regarding T.O. Fuller State Park, one camper mentioned you either drive "through a kind of run down neighborhood, or an industrial park" to reach the campground, though they found once inside "the sites are pretty well spaced, flat, and hookups are in good repair."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities for kids: Jellystone Park offers multiple water-based options for children. "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," shared one parent.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Some campgrounds provide nature encounters suitable for children. At SK Campground, campers report that "deer frequent the property" and the site has "a pond in the rear with fishing allowed," making it an engaging spot for young nature enthusiasts.

Restaurant delivery services: Several campgrounds near Collierville offer convenient dining options. At Graceland RV Park, families can be "picked up in a pink Cadillac and taken to Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant" which offers "fantastic BBQ in a spectacularly kitschy restaurant" according to one visitor.

Playground accessibility: Multiple campgrounds feature updated play equipment. T.O. Fuller State Park has "an updated playground in the campground area that looks very nice," making it suitable for families needing recreation options within the camping area.

Tips from RVers

Site selection priorities: At EZ Daze, RVers suggest choosing sites strategically. "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups," reported one visitor, while another advised site "21 is nice and private at end of a row and is pull thru."

Electrical considerations: Some campgrounds have issues with power stability. One EZ Daze visitor noted problems with voltage readings showing "142.5 volts on line 2," suggesting travelers bring appropriate surge protection equipment.

Site leveling realities: Terrain challenges exist at several parks. At T.O. Fuller, a visitor observed "about half of the sites are on a slight incline that we would consider unlevel," recommending checking the park's website for "details about each site including approximate length, width, and grade."

Winter camping benefits: Off-season camping offers distinct advantages in this region. With summer humidity creating challenging conditions, several experienced campers recommended Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park specifically for fall/winter visits, noting, "We mostly camp at Meeman-Shelby in the fall/winter. We do not camp Spring/Summer" due to mosquito issues.
