Most campgrounds in the area operate year-round, though site availability and conditions vary by season.

Several campgrounds have updated their facilities in recent years, with Fort Pillow adding new concrete pads and upgraded 50-amp service at select RV sites.

One camper mentioned that "the bathhouse felt like a sauna—zero ventilation" during summer months.

The primitive sites receive particularly strong feedback, with one visitor noting they are "among the best I have ever seen" with level, pea gravel surfaces.

Fort Pillow's sites are described as "extremely close together" with "absolutely no privacy" by some visitors, while others appreciate the convenient layout for family camping.

    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.

    Blue Bank Resort

    Fourth of July, stay at Bluebank Resort

    On our way across the Tennessee border, my fiancé decided he wanted to stay here as this is where he spent many childhood memories. Beautiful, small secluded resort on Reel foot lake. RV campground with hook ups, as well as a few different cabins to stay in surrounded by locals who live on the lake. Kayaking and motor boating, and cute little gift shop.

    Stayed at Green’s Quiet Acre and couldn’t be happier. The lot was clean, level, and had full hookups. Quiet, safe location with easy access to town. Owner was friendly and made everything simple. Definitely recommend if you’re passing through or need a long-term spot.
