Camping options near La Grange, Tennessee range from basic gravel sites to concrete pads with full hookups. Located within 90 minutes of Memphis, this area serves as both a convenient stopover and a base camp for exploring western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making shaded sites particularly valuable from June through September.
What to do
Memphis attractions: 15-30 minutes from Southaven. Graceland RV Park & Campground offers direct access to Graceland through a private gate. "The park has all amenities needed for a nice family vacation...laundry, gift shop, swimming pool, playground and more," notes one camper. Another added, "The highlight of our stay here, however, was the opportunity to take a free pink Cadillac limo ride to Marlowe's for superb BBQ."
Farmers market shopping: 5-minute walk from campsite. The Agricenter RV Park connects to the Agricenter farmers market. "There is a Farmers Market on site. Picked up some fruits and plants before heading out," shares one visitor. The market features local produce, plants, and specialty foods year-round.
Urban park exploration: No driving required. Agricenter RV Park sits within Shelby Farms Park. "This park is in a part of Shelby Farms Park which is a 4,500 acres of lakes, bike and running trails, playgrounds and so much more. The park also has plenty of events to keep you entertained. And, there are bison!!" writes one camper who appreciated the location.
What campers like
Quiet location with security: Guards posted 24/7. Midway RV Park maintains spacious sites. "A lot of space in between sites, concrete pads, grassy and quiet," notes one military camper. This security-focused park serves military personnel and their families.
Level sites with stable surfaces: No muddy conditions. Many travelers appreciate EZ Daze RV Park for their concrete pads. "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups. Workers all very pleasant," reports one camper. Another adds, "Such a gem of a campground - 15 minutes off I-40 East but felt like a safe option a little ways out of the busy downtown Memphis area."
Clean facilities: Regularly maintained bathrooms. RVers consistently mention bathroom cleanliness as a deciding factor. "Super clean showers, bathroom and laundry. The grounds are impeccable and sites and roads are all paved," comments a camper at EZ Daze RV Park. Agricenter RV Park receives similar praise for its farmer's market amenities.
What you should know
Highway noise varies by location: Some parks quieter than others. Cross City RV Park sits near US-45, creating some traffic noise. "US-45 is near so you get highway noise," notes one camper, though they still rated their stay highly.
Airport flight paths affect sleep quality: Early morning arrivals. Parks near Memphis International experience regular aircraft noise. "Incoming flights to Memphis start flying overhead at 4:15 am. They take a direct path over top of this park," warns a visitor to Southaven RV Park.
After-hours check-in systems: Not all consistent. Some parks have limited check-in hours with varying after-hours systems. One Joy-O RV Park visitor reported, "Pulled in at 9:45 pm. Number to call was on door. Called it and msg said they'd return call next day. We needed to reserve that night."
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Limited availability seasonally. Only select RV parks like Graceland offer swimming pools. "We enjoyed the pavilion, pool, basketball hoop, playground, showers, and other amenities," shares a family who stayed at Graceland RV Park.
Playground quality varies: Check recent reviews. While some parks advertise playgrounds, conditions may not meet expectations. One EZ Daze visitor noted, "Bathroom and laundry facilities are amazing. Playground is scary."
Restaurant shuttles: Free transportation for family meals. Joy-O RV Park and other parks near Memphis offer unique dining transportation. A Graceland camper shared, "Next time we are in Memphis we will certainly be back here! The opportunity to take a free pink Cadillac limo ride to Marlowe's for superb BBQ. Our children loved this opportunity."
Tips from RVers
Extended stays have different needs: Monthly rates available. Some parks cater to longer-term stays with monthly rates. "It is definitely not the nicest Park we have been to- laundry facilities are run down, two of the dryers will tear up your clothes... All that being said, not a terrible monthly price, the trash cans are shared and the wifi is slow in the evening, but you're not paying extra for that or water or power," explains an Agricenter International RV Park camper.
Power supply quality varies: Voltage inconsistencies reported. RVers with sensitive electronics should monitor power. "We experienced a problem with our Powerdog 50 EPO Surge protector getting an E1 and E2 code error from the pedastals... I checked my Powerdog app and it showed 142.5 volts on line 2," warned an EZ Daze visitor.
Pull-through availability: Critical for large rigs. Many RV camping areas near La Grange have limited pull-through sites. "We wanted a pull thru and found only one. But it was reserved," shared a camper at EZ Daze, recommending reservations for these premium spaces.
