    Serendipity Resort

    different, in a good way

    I enjoyed my 3 nights. I had a great view of a pond and a row of A-frames but the sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The  sites are very close together but the season is apparently over. Very little traffic even on thanksgiving. The roads are narrow and the trees get close. Th signage could be better but the host left me a text when I arrived and found me while I was waiting outside the office. Very quiet, no road noise or trains or planes. Just a little longer drive off the main highway

    West Memphis KOA

    Small but clean. Very friendly staff. There are plenty of trees for shade. Nice pool, bathrooms and rec room. The laundry room is large and air conditioned. There is a dog park, horseshoes and cornhole. They offer daily breakfast and lunch and will deliver site made pizza to your camper. They also have a community garden.Very close to Memphis. The only downside is it has quite a bit of road traffic noise and a strange side road entrance.1

    Amazing

    From the moment we arrived, we had an amazing experience. The staff greeted us and our pups with smiles, cozies, and treats for the dogs. The site is well taken care of. The laundry and camper kitchen were great amenities. The pool was clean and a great way to cool off. They have a Cafe that serves breakfast and dinner. Dinner is delivered to your site. We will definitely be staying here again.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis

    Really Nice, but mostly long term

    This is a really nice campground just outside of Memphis, TN. They have a swimming pool, playground, covered party pavilion, laundry and lots of kids activities. They also have cabins for rent. This appears to be more of a long term rental campground, but it is a great place to stay if you are traveling there for the weekend for local events, baseball tournaments at Snowden Grove or a Memphis vacation. The campsites are very close together and most are in the sun with no shade.

    Very welcoming !!

    It’s incredibly easy to find right off 55. Easy exit I called reservations were easy to make and when I got there everything was set. I extended my stay and that was incredibly smooth.

    Memphis KOA

    Nice typical KOA. Good BBQ sandwiches

    This shot up to a 4 because the had great BBQ pork sandwiches.

    Typical KOA, nice pool, laundry facility. The Cafe has breakfast and for dinner pulled pork sandwiches or Pizza not bad.

    Workers are very nice and do a great job of keeping everything neat and clean.

    Nice kids play area and pool. Dog walk area.

    Nice big shade trees. Not all sites have shade but most do.

    Give it a 4, we will stay here again. Next time I would like to stay lo get to take the shuttle to Graceland.

    Sites are fairly level and gravel.

    Deceiving Pictures

    Pictures don’t show the busy highway RIGHT NEXT to the campsites. Very loud traffic noise all day and night. Surrounded by city. Sites are pull through and narrow, no privacy, small patch of grass, full sun. WiFi is limited to 3 devices (one pass code per device). We regretted booking the moment we arrived. If you’re looking to explore Memphis and NOT really enjoy camping, this is the place. Although the pool and pond activity (inflatables) were closed due to them being seasonal, the price was still steep, no less for less. It’s clean, but sadly, that’s probably all we can say we appreciated.

    Memphis KOA

    Great place to stay as you transit the Memphis area

    We spent the night while driving north past Memphis. The staff was super helpful. Our site (and the whole campground) was covered in snow and in was cold. Other that that, we had a great experience.

    4 stars because it is next to an interstate highway so there is inevitable noise and not much interesting in the way of scenery. Other than that, this is a 5 star place.

    We will definitely stay here again.

    Memphis KOA

    Good Camp ground 20 minutes from Memphis

    First time at a KOA, and it was a good experience. Our stay was for 3 nights. Easy check-in and staff were very helpful. They also have a cafe that serves breakfast from Thursday - to Sunday ( due to staffing shortage). Enjoyed Beale Street and of course, toured Elvis's house and complex.

    Sites were close together, our pad was part concrete and part gravel, but we were able to level our 5th wheel just fine.
