Best Campgrounds near Memphis, TN

437 Reviews

Memphis camping options range from riverfront RV sites to wooded state park grounds. Tom Sawyer's RV Park sits across the Mississippi River in West Memphis with good river views and perks like free laundry and pet-friendly policies. The park has basic bathrooms and isn't great for tent camping. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in Millington has both RV and tent sites in a forest environment with playgrounds and clean restrooms. You'll see lots of wildlife here, so store food carefully. The park stays open all year, but spring and fall bring the best weather. Summer gets hot while winter can be cold, so pack accordingly. Check for fire bans during dry spells. It's smart to book ahead, especially on weekends and holidays. Both camping areas give you quick access to Memphis attractions. You can choose between riverside camping or forest camping depending on what you prefer.
