These cabins feature basic furnishings, heating and air conditioning systems, and private bathrooms with showers. KOA Campground Memphis Marion provides furnished cabin rentals with electricity, beds, and climate control systems. At Tom Sawyer's RV Park, basic cabins offer shelter with minimal amenities but Mississippi River views. "The cabins look nice from the outside," noted one visitor reviewing Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Several properties maintain year-round cabin operations, including Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis with its family-focused cabin options that include electricity and indoor plumbing. Wall Doxey State Park Campground offers more rustic cabin experiences set among wooded areas. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when family travel increases. Pet policies vary significantly between properties, with some like Tom Sawyer's RV Park and Graceland RV Park allowing pets in cabin accommodations. A recent review of Serendipity Resort noted: "There's plenty of Yurts for rent and cabins. They all look well kept and up to date."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped at premium locations to minimal or non-existent at more rustic sites. Cooking arrangements typically include microwaves in furnished units, with some properties providing outdoor grills near cabin sites. At Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, campers have access to the nearby General Store for basic provisions. Hollywood Casino RV Park cabins include basic kitchen amenities but visitors should bring specialized cooking equipment. Groceries and additional supplies can be found within 15-20 minutes of most cabin locations, though stocking up before arrival is recommended.
"Found this campsite on the Dyrt and was pleasantly surprised with the location and family friendly atmosphere. Right on the River but not swimable water. In an industrial park but felt very safe."
"Pet friendly!"
"It is located next to Elvis Presley’s Memphis and across the street from Graceland- it’s a busy area."
"Checkin and checkout time is 11 am. Sites are gravel. Campground can accommodate all sizes of rvs. Dogs welcome."
"My family and I live about 25 min from the campground at Meeman-Shelby State Park. We have been several times and have camped with tents, pop-ups, and now with our Geo-Pro. We love this campground."
"This was one of the first state parks in Tennessee I visited on my trip through the state."
Available this weekend
"Pulling in was tight, but anyone worth their salt driving can get in with no problems."
"There is a pump stattion but the noise is just an electrical hum. At the time I was camping only had one spot for an RV and tiny home for rent. They were building a second tiny home. "

"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."

"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."
"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."

"We’ve stayed here three times and always in the same area away from the lake. Very quiet, friendly neighbors and pretty well maintained."
Available this weekend
from $27 - $267 / night
ScoutLike 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
GuideWe 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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideBooked 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.
GuidePulled in here after driving all day and the park was full of campers that looked to be somewhat long term. I went inside to pay for site 63 (which was empty and the camper next door said was used all the time for overnight camping) and they said we are full and there's no water at site 63. The manager said this park used to be used for casino customers, but now they are renting long term to construction workers. It would have cost $40 to stay if they had space. Too bad- we would have eaten in a casino restaurant and played a bit. We left and drove to Enid Lake and stayed at a COE CG that was one of the nicest ever, at $10 less for the night. Lessons learned-definitely need to call ahead even though people said just pull in no reservations needed-also- awesome stay for less just down the road. Spaces at Hollywood were close together, paved, there is laundry on site. Staff in the casino (hotel desk) were friendly and helpful.
GuideThis is our 3rd visit to this campground. Worth the short drive off Route 40 to get an awesome view of the river and nice benches along river if you’re not up for walking in the heat of summer. Rather level concrete and gravel spots.
ScoutNice place after you get past the Oil refinery and the neighborhood. Once in park it is well maintained and safe. Nice to watch the bardges on the Mississippi
LegendNot sure if it’s somewhere I would stay right now due to one section being closed.
ScoutParking spots chosen upon arrival by the driver. Then go to hotel and tell which spot you picked. Grass and picnic table behind every other spot. Trash pickup daily. Very clean cloth washers . Very good hookups at every site. Concrete, mostly level pads. All good,,, now the very bad. If you are going for the casino, casino smells, stale cigarettes, everyone smoking, food expensive and service terrible, past the bad smells. Park in the middle of nowhere.
Cabins near Germantown, Tennessee range from simple to fully equipped accommodations across several locations. Most rental cabins in the area require a 15-45 minute drive from Germantown proper, with options scattered throughout western Tennessee, northern Mississippi, and eastern Arkansas. Winter cabin bookings typically require less advance notice, while summer and fall weekends often fill 2-3 months ahead, especially at state parks.
Fishing opportunities: Wall Doxey State Park Campground offers excellent fishing in its small lake with two piers. "The lake is great for fishing and has two piers to use, plus a small boat launch. There is no swimming in this lake. Rumor has it that there is Walleye fish in this lake!" notes Shana D.
Disc golf courses: Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park features a popular disc golf course winding through pine forest. According to Ryan S., "There is a disc golf course that is very popular. There is a nature center that is under renovation that has snakes, spiders and owls to see."
Casino access: For adult-oriented recreation, cabin accommodations at Hollywood Casino RV Park provide easy casino access. "The sites are paved and level. There is a clean laundry room, wi-fi and shuttle service to the casino which is within walking distance. You may use the casino's swimming pool," explains Mi W.
Mississippi River views: Tom Sawyer's RV Park cabin rentals offer unique river watching opportunities. Greg S. describes the experience: "As evening rolled around, the beauty of this place came alive. Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream."
Free transportation services: Some cabin-inclusive properties near Germantown offer unexpected transportation perks. KimnJohn M. notes about Graceland RV Park: "THE BEST thing about staying here was being picked up in a pink Cadillac and taken to Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant. Fantastic BBQ in a spectacularly kitschy restaurant."
Wooded privacy: Wall Doxey State Park Campground cabins sit in secluded wooded settings. "We spent an afternoon here exploring and checking into the campground for future stays. It's an older, rustic campground and the age shows. However, if you are looking for a peaceful, private campground, this is it," shares Shana D.
Off-season limitations: Seasonal changes affect cabin amenities near Germantown. At Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, mosquitoes can be problematic in warmer months. Andrew S. warns: "Unless you are in love with mosquitos you may want to stay away from here in the summer, other than that it's a pretty nice place to escape for the weekend."
Cell service variability: Connectivity varies significantly between cabin locations. Ryan S. notes about Meeman-Shelby: "We had 0 service anywhere near our campsite. Nice to disconnect for a night, but plan accordingly."
Kitchen supplies needed: Memphis KOA cabin rentals require guests to bring specific items. Nicholas L. advises: "Close to Memphis, across the river. It's a great campground. The scenery is not spectacular but that's not their fault. Surprisingly quiet for being right on hwy 40."
Pool access considerations: When booking cabin accommodations with children, check pool availability dates. About Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis, Angela C. shares: "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."
Playgrounds near cabins: Graceland RV Park & Campground provides family-friendly features near cabins. Jeremy H. explains: "For us we enjoyed the pavilion, pool, basketball hoop, playground, showers, and other amenities. The highlight of our stay here, however, was the opportunity to take a free pink Cadillac limo ride to Marlowe's for superb BBQ."
Educational opportunities: Some cabin locations include nature education elements. Ryan S. notes about Meeman-Shelby: "There is a nature center that is under renovation that has snakes, spiders and owls to see."
Alternate accommodation options: When cabins are unavailable, RVers can find suitable sites at the same properties. About SK campground, Christopher N. suggests: "This nice little gem was a great find for the wife and I. Pulling in was tight, but anyone worth their salt driving can get in with no problems."
Site selection strategy: For cabin campers bringing additional tents or equipment, site selection matters. Elise D. advises about Wall Doxey: "I'm a tent camper and had to move sites since the one I originally picked didn't have an area for my tent. Make sure you get there by 3ish to check that your site can accommodate a tent and stakes."
Leveling considerations: Cabin users with RVs should note terrain challenges. Steve G. comments about John W. Kyle State Park: "Most of the sites on the edges are in the sun most of the day, so be aware of that. The park is nice and peaceful, with plenty of fishing and boating opportunities."
