4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin options near Memphis include rustic accommodations at Village Creek State Park Campground and Wall Doxey State Park, both offering heating and air conditioning systems. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park provides log cabins with electricity, basic furnishings, and private bathrooms. Some properties offer kitchen facilities with refrigerators and microwaves, while others provide only basic cooking equipment. KOA Memphis Marion and Memphis KOA both offer cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Each cabin typically includes beds with mattresses and minimal furniture. One visitor noted that "most cabins are clean and functional, just need a bit of cosmetic updating."
Most cabins in the Memphis region require reservations, particularly during spring and summer months when occupancy is highest. While some locations like Tom Sawyer's RV Park and SK Campground operate throughout the year, availability can be limited during peak tourist seasons. Pet policies vary by location - Memphis KOA and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis both permit pets in select cabin units. Graceland RV Park previously offered cabins but according to a camper, "cabins are no longer available" at this location. Hollywood Casino RV Park - Tunica represents another option for cabin accommodations within driving distance of Memphis.
Bedding, towels, and cooking equipment are typically not included in cabin rentals, requiring guests to bring their own linens and pillows. Basic dishware and cookware may be available in furnished cabins at locations like Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, but it's recommended to confirm specifics before arrival. On-site camp stores at KOA properties offer essential supplies, while more remote cabins necessitate bringing provisions from Memphis. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park and Village Creek State Park cabins feature small refrigerators and microwave ovens, though more elaborate cooking requires portable equipment. Many cabin properties have outdoor grills or fire rings for cooking, with firewood available for purchase at most locations.
"This campsite is in West Memphis, Arkansas right across the river from Memphis Tennessee. The sites are right on the river bank, beautiful. Sunrise over the river was perfect."
"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."
"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
"This is a decent, easy access CG with level pull through and back-in gravel sites in Memphis. It is located next to Elvis Presley’s Memphis and across the street from Graceland- it’s a busy area."
"We aren’t too enamored with Elvis but this was a nice RV park with a good value just outside of Memphis. If you are Elvis fans then you will love the proximity to Graceland."
"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. "
from $40 - $60 / night
"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."
"This is a huge campground and the price for a spot was at least double what we would pay elsewhere (nearly $100)."
"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."

"Store is nice and we’ll stocked ( albeit no dairy products like milk are sold here) nearest mini-mart is 4 miles away."
"This campground is located very convenient location. Some people complained noise from the freeway but it didn’t bother much form us. Bath house was clean."

Available this weekend
from $2 - $447 / 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.
TravelerSpacious sites, also has horse camp. Electricity. Racoon issues not under control. Dumpsters near bathroom contained racoons that also went into folks' camps. No cell signal. Bathrooms woefully neglected as far as cleanliness. Old is one thing, but nasty is another.
