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
Guide
It’s a city RV park, what do we really expect? It’s not camping for sure. Traveling from California with kids who have been at the mercy of cross-country RV parks- this was a reprieve for them, pool, bikes, playgrounds. We’ve paid $100 a night for less. Clean, cute, easy access, not sketchy. Noise, sure, but nothing a fan or AC could drown out. Airplanes every few hours, traffic from a nearby highway. Site 44 happens to be the only one without a tree for shade though, so unless you like hot sun- book another one.
RangerThis is a huge campground and the price for a spot was at least double what we would pay elsewhere (nearly $100). We weren’t able to get a campground at Tom Sawyer and the reviews were all over the place for the rest of the Memphis campgrounds that we decided to go ahead and splurge on this one.
This was our first Jellystone and I was shocked at how many campers the campground accommodated - there are RVs everywhere. Most of the amenities and services are located at the front of the campground and includes a store and propane, playground, dog run, pool, showers and laundry, gold mining station, and sports courts (basketball, Gaga ball, and basketball). Further back in the campground, was another playground and dog run and a really cute little lake.
We were staying off-season so there was no activities and they actually deflated the jumping pad, but my kids still had fun and I could see this campground either being a blast in the summer or being a nightmare because of too many people. While we were there, I saw almost no children and several of the camper sites looked like the guests were staying long-term. For a campground that is marketed towards families, the demographics were a bit strange.
That said, it was super clean, well-organized, the landscaping and sites were maintained, everyone was friendly. We got two loads of wash done and my husband said the showers looked good. There were some restaurants and a Walgreen that looked like they delivered to the campground. WiFi worked and they had cable tv.
We reserved a basic site, but for more money you could get a site with Adirondack patio furniture and there were plenty of cabins as well. We reserved same day online and they have a system for late check-ins.
I’m definitely giving Jellystone another go - but next time during the summer. I’m not sure whether this campground is a good base for exploring Memphis - I think if you had a car it would probably be fine as it’s only 20 minutes or so.
Ranger
They knew they had no power and didn’t give us a heads up before showing up. We paid for FHU which means full hook up. No refund and no options to help us. They just told us to deal with it.
Scout
They don’t tell you this is predominantly a work camp. The website shows a nice pool, only reason we went there. It does not have a pool.
RangerFirst 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.
ScoutThe owner is unstable, beware. Multiple reviews can corroborate. I drove an hour and a half with a one-year-old to a birthday party without intending to use the water park. I asked simply if we all needed to pay for water park passes.$20 per person, and when I said it was ridiculous, the owner lost her mind on me. Told me, then don't go then! And I called her business ridiculous. I told our friends I cussed her out. All lies there were children in the office. I never raised my voice, let alone cussed. I told her she needed to learn to talk to people and be respectful, and she told me to get off her property. I seriously hope she gets her help because something isn't right.
GuideFrom 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.
TravelerThis was a last minute stop but something told me to stop here and check it out. The customer service was awesome and pricing was great. There is loads of things to do kinda wish I had more time to explore. When I head back East I plan on stopping again. Next vist the kids will have to come for sure. So two thumbs up and a Hey Yo. ☮️&I’ll 👀I around like a 🍩
TravelerIt’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. Very impressed they have breakfast and dinner + they deliver right to ur site! My dog LOVES the dog park ~ the swimming pool looks nice and showers bathrooms are some of the best I’ve seen since Michigan Highly recommend!
LegendWe drove through and did not stay here. Lots of long term renters. Not in a good area of town. Close to Graceland, but there are better places to stay within a 30 minutes drive. No thank you!
TravelerWe are somewhat local to this campground. We heard about it from a friend. We decided to give it a try.
Campground is clean and organized. The pads are made up of ground pavement. They are quite close together. Each site has its own 50/30/110 electric, water and sewer connections. This was a great surprise.
The bathrooms are a bit of a walk from the sites. They have a shower house by the water park area. The stalls are toilet/shower combo. Only problem is the only handicapped accessible shower is in this shower house and they don’t allow you to drive there unless you have a golf cart. And they do rent golf carts for $50 a day.
There is 2 more 24hr toilet/shower stalls in the lower half of the camp store. The camp store is open 8-8. The camp store has most of your daily needs such as ice and toiletries and firewood.
We were there for 3 days and my kids used the water park. They had a blast on the jumpers and got very wore out. The water park is a $20 charge a piece on the first day and goes down to $10 a day for the rest of your stay. Be advised you will be charged whether you are going in the water or not. If you are going down there you are being charged.
There is paddle boarding,kayaking, and a small John boat included with the park. There is also a very nice spacious pool that is included as well. The pool is 11ft deep so there’s no issues with using the diving board. Unfortunately we did not get to try the restaurant while we were there and will try on our next visit. There’s plenty of room to walk around and a fire tower to climb. You can see some great views up there. There’s also Yurts for rent and cabins. They all look well kept and up to date. The roads do narrow down a bit when first coming in so be prepared to watch your corners. All in all we will be back and recommend trying this new campground. Only reason for 4 stars is the bathrooms being so far and the sites being quite close together.
LegendThis 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.
GuideWe live nearby, so we drove over to see if this is someplace we would like to camp. We went into the office, and asked if we could look around. They said sure, just walk. We found a few sires we liked, so we went back to book for the following week. We were told that we would have to do that online, and that they couldn't guarantee the site we wanted. The lady had just checked availability, so theyknewwhat sites were available, but weren't willing to book one with us. It seemed nice, with a lot of fun activities, but their reluctance to work with us put us off. We won't be camping there anytime soon. It's a new campground, so maybe they will figure out customer service someday.
ScoutThe management is sorry the do nothing but lie about everything
They threw us out because my son that is autistic for got to pick up the dog poop .
The place is so run down the don't have anything for kids or anything for the family to do .
They never in the office and they are very rude and if you say anything to them they will throw you out and not give you your money back .
Please anyone who is reading this for not stay there unless you want to hear gun shots all night long and you have to watch out because we have had a window busted out on are car and they said it's not there fault they let homeless walk through all times throughout the night and day because they never in the office and they have had drug addicts over dose in the park as well
TravelerAlthough this is called the Memphis KOA - it is a bit of a hike. Especially when the bridge (I-40) is out.
This campground is very typical for a KOA Journey. Right off the interstate, nice pull-throughs, minimal amenities.
We stayed here for a couple of weeks while working in Memphis - good/bad comments below:
Good
1. Staff. Super nice, very helpful.
2. Ease of access to I-55.
Bad
1. Remote (not in a good way). Kind of far from West Memphis, within 10 minutes to Marion, but nothing is convenient.
2. Not in Memphis. Per the name, this is really important to note. Assume it is 30 minutes to where you are going in Memphis. 45 if the bridge is out.
3. It floods when it storms. Like 5 inches standing water. Should probably be fixed.
ScoutThis place is a dump. The shoreline is littered with all sorts of debris. The roads and sites are filthy and unmaintained. The laundry room equipment is free, but who knows if they are ever cleaned, and the floors are filthy. Right now, March 21st there is an infestation of lady bugs and stink bugs in the laundry room. It seems that no money is spent on the care of this facility. We stayed in the river side of the "park" so have no knowledge of the other sites. The rest room is a single unisex toilet and stand alone plastic shower. The only appeal is the Mississippi River. Owners: spend some money to fix this mess or sell it!
GuideOk for a night. Easy 15 min drive to downtown Memphis for sightseeing. In a low lying area and it had rained earlier in the week. Campground very wet. Lots of puddles and muck. Should have used the gravel pile at the back of the campground to fill in potholes. Bathhouse clean but in a slight state of disrepair like loose toilets. Amenities included pool, playground, store, cafe, dog park, horseshoes, beanbag, ladder ball, bikes. Staff very nice.
TravelerPictures 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.
GuideCustomer service helped me get a great spot for my rv pulling a trailer. Lots of space and clean areas. Worth the $70 i paid.
GuideJust a rv park with nothing fancy on the Graceland property.
Staff friendly
GuideWe were long term at this campground for 7 months. The staff was outstanding, the park was clean and well-kept, and the monthly rates were reasonable. We loved our stay here! We actually stayed from December 2020-July 2021.
Legend
A park has been at this location since 1955. It was originally a trailer park but has been converted to a RV park. Located in flat farm land a few miles from Blytheville There is no pool or playground. RV’er will find flat gravel sites that can handle most if not all rigs. They have sites with 30 and 50 amp service. You will find rates for daily weekly and monthly. Some mature trees for shade and some full sun sites.
GuideLocated just off the freeway the front sites are a bit noisy. One plus was that it was raining so hard the freeway was stopped so we just went to our site but they offer meals delivered to your site! Great meal!
GuideDrove through but wouldn’t stay here! Very uneven sites. Looked sketchy. Not a great neighborhood.
GuideBest family friendly campground in the Memphis area. Amazing facilities and amenities. Decently sized lots with trees! Loved our stay here.
LegendThis 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.
