    Serendipity Resort

    different, in a good way

    I enjoyed my 3 nights. I had a great view of a pond and a row of A-frames but the sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The  sites are very close together but the season is apparently over. Very little traffic even on thanksgiving. The roads are narrow and the trees get close. Th signage could be better but the host left me a text when I arrived and found me while I was waiting outside the office. Very quiet, no road noise or trains or planes. Just a little longer drive off the main highway

    West Memphis KOA

    Small but clean. Very friendly staff. There are plenty of trees for shade. Nice pool, bathrooms and rec room. 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. They also have a community garden.Very close to Memphis. The only downside is it has quite a bit of road traffic noise and a strange side road entrance.1

    No Cell Service; No Public Phones: No WIFI Calls at Visitor Center

    PROS 

    Senior discount 

    No fee assessed to make on-line reservations 

    Quiet 

    light view of lake from #57 

    Site 57 has no site next to it or behind it 

    Good distance between campsites 

    Dark sky friendly except for sites near toilet/shower facilities where there is an actual street light 

    Climate controlled toilet/shower facility in campground B 

    Both campground B toilet/shower facilities very clean with ample supply of TP, soap and paper towels 

    Wood picnic table (on concrete pad), pedestal BBQ grill, metal fire ring with cooking grate and metal lantern hook 

    Wide roadway in campground B 

    Small playground 

    Access to lake swimming area from campground B 

    Trash receptacles at toilet/shower facility 

    Lots of deer


    Smaller Walmart in Wynne AR 

    Pops Grill in Wynne real good

    CONS 

    County burn ban in place upon arrival but no signage anywhere alerting of ban. We saw the Arkansas burn ban website and inquired upon checkin if it was enforced and park clerk affirmed ban but we saw many campers had a wood fire burning all the time. So without any signage we understand the confusion and noncompliance. Park should at least place burn ban signage at campground entrance. 

    Site 57 unlevel side-to-side 

    No cell service. 

    No public phone in park. 

    Parks signage states WiFi at park visitor center could be used to make phone calls. We found this not true with our T-MOBILE service as we purposely went to the visitor center to make a WIFI call. There is WIFI at visitors center but only one bar and too weak to transmit a call. So if there is an emergency after visitor center is closed and you need to make a call, good luck, as there is no public phone nor any camp hosts. We drove approximately 8 miles towards Wynne to get sufficient cell signal to make calls and connect with internet. 

    Only free WiFi is at park visitor center. We purchased WiFi from park vendor Viasat $20 unlimited for 3 days for one device. Viasat delivered a good signal within 200 ft of toilet/shower facility so it was useless in our campsite#57. Don’t waste your money! Sewer connection at rear of site pad so bring the looooong stinky slinky! 

    Pets not kept on leash 

    No security gate closure overnight

    One of the best campgrounds!

    Only an hour from Memphis, this campground is VERY nice - three camping areas, two lakes with boat rentals, 6 cabins, and a gorgeous 27 hole golf course. It is always well kept, the staff is pleasant and they have a small store at the visitor center.

    Beautiful Park - Friendly Staff

     I called ahead and arrived after hours. It was as easy as it gets. They said to just pick an open site and register in the am. I had a lake front site, with a nice fire pit and picnic table and grill setup. 

     The next morning I registered / paid $44.00 for the night. Super friendly staff. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Hernando Point

    Hernando Point

    We enjoyed staying so close to the water. We fished right from the bank (must have a MS license). The water, electric, and sewer hook-ups are very close to the site. The picnic, grilling, and fire pit area is nice. The parking area is only wide enough fir the camper. It would be nice to have a paved space under our awning. We were disappointed in the amount of trash along the bank of the lake. We picked up an entire trash bag full when we arrived and more throughout the weekend. Overall it was a great trip and we will be back.

    Also, the beach area down the road at the boat ramp is closed for construction. It will be nice when it reopens.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Nice, but many bees; Positive: not as busy as expected

    If not for the bee infestation in the water pipes at the forst site, the rating would be MUCH higher…

    Overall, we had a good time camping here. The only problem was the bugs (mosquitoes, spiders, etc.), but that's a risk of camping. Our actual, reserved site was overrun with bees in the water tap, though. We told the rangers who set off to spray them, and who also gave us a new, slightly bigger site to set up our tent. This one had many mosquitoes under the picnic table, but no bees! And mosquitoes happen, so we dealt with it:-) The bathrooms were GREAT, and even Air Conditioned! The firewood which was officially purchased there and covered in spiderwebs took a LONG time to get burning, but once it was, it burned hot and well into the night. It was a good stay, with the exception of getting stung by the bees, but thankfully it was only me and not the kids who were stung.

    Surprisingly empty, given the very few options shown to reserve online. Maybe many people cancelled?

    One thing to note: the office has WiFi during open hours…otherwise, we didn't even have ANY phone signal in the area. Good while camping, so not a complaint...just an observation FYI.

    Long weekend trip

    Our site is right on the lake with a great fishing spot. The area for grilling and eating and fire pit is nice. The electric, water, and sewer hookups are very close. The parking area is not very wide. Only wide enough for the camper. I wish there was a better are for enjoying time under the awning. I was disappointed in the trash located along the bank of the lake. We cleaned up an entire trash bag full an then more along the way. Overall it’s a great campground and we would stay here again.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    2 night stay at Village Creek

    This place was ok, very small, however more than half the trails and park were closed due to flooding. Lots of construction in progress. There was no sewage hook ups (water electricity only), nearby dump station. Bathroom facilities were very clean. The two trails opened were nice. My kids brought there bikes and enjoyed the one bike trail. I was a little annoyed by the park staff. They came by at least 15 times each day, checking tags, checking fire pits, checking pets, etc. I get it, but it kind of ruins the whole experience when you are relaxing in your camper and see park personnel snooping around constantly. We saw them everywhere. We couldn’t even hike without seeing them. It just felt invasive.


Guide to Memphis

Glamping in Memphis, Tennessee and surrounding areas offers campers access to diverse recreation options within a 35-mile radius. The region sits at the confluence of the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers, with elevations around 300 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop below freezing, impacting campground operations and water availability.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Village Creek State Park Campground features two small lakes that attract anglers. "The lakes have produced state record fish," notes Jonathan C., who appreciates the campground's quiet atmosphere.

Disc golf course: Wall Doxey State Park Campground offers an extensive disc golf course through pine forest. "The highlight for us is the disc golf course that winds through the pine forest," mentions Brandon R., though he cautions about ticks during warm months.

Mountain biking: Chewalla Lake Recreation Area provides unpaved trails ideal for mountain biking. "The lake was gorgeous with a winding, unpaved bike trail that was really fun on mountain bikes," reports Stephanie Ray.

Lakeside recreation: Hernando Point sits on Lake Arkabutla with water access and shoreline sites. "Sites are paved and full hookups at site. Nice view!" shares Anna D., highlighting the campground's waterfront setting.

What campers like

Budget-friendly options: Hernando Point offers waterfront camping at reasonable rates. "Very reasonably priced included water and electric," notes Tina S. about the campground's value.

Quick access to Memphis attractions: Delta Ridge RV Park provides convenient Interstate proximity for Memphis day trips. "Right off the hiway. The most Level site in our 6k mile trip," states Kathy F., emphasizing the park's strategic location.

Clean facilities: EZ Daze RV Park maintains high standards for bathrooms and common areas. "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," writes LuAnn R., who appreciated the well-maintained facilities.

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds offer scheduled events during holidays. Wall Doxey State Park hosts elaborate Halloween celebrations that attract families. "Every camp site had wonderful decorations and the kids had such a blast," describes Fred S.

What you should know

Security concerns: Some campgrounds near downtown Memphis have safety issues. "We drove through and did not stay here... Not in a good area of town," cautions Shana D. about Elvis Presley Boulevard RV Park.

Seasonal mosquitoes: Insects can be problematic, especially in wooded areas. "Campsite was basically dirt with gullies on the side so it was hard to back out. Trash all near table and fire pit. Swarms of bugs were already attacking my car before I could even stop," reports Kaitlyn C. about Chewalla Lake.

Highway noise: Memphis KOA in Marion sits close to Interstate 40. "Small campground along the highway with a lot of traffic noise," notes Charles S., though many find the convenience worth the background sound.

Reservation systems: Several parks use self-registration with after-hours procedures. "We got in late with no reservation. Box on door had about 7 registration slips so we guessed there were probably that many spots available," explains Mark O. about his experience at EZ Daze RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Memphis offers multiple recreation options for children. "They have a swimming pool, playground, covered party pavilion, laundry and lots of kids activities," mentions Shana D., highlighting features beyond what standard campgrounds provide.

Playground options: Several campgrounds include multiple play areas. "This was our first time to ever hook-up our Class A RV and I'm afraid this place may have set the bar HIGH. There were several playgrounds my son enjoyed & we had a blast doing the scavenger hunt," shares Amy L. about Jellystone Park.

Food delivery: Some parks offer meal service to your site. "Very impressed they have breakfast and dinner + they deliver right to ur site!" reports Kari K. about Memphis KOA, saving cooking time for families on vacation.

Spacing considerations: Campsite proximity varies significantly between parks. "The sites are pull through and narrow, no privacy, small patch of grass, full sun," notes Stacy W. about Jellystone, offering important space expectations for families with children.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When glamping near Memphis in an RV, check for obstructions. "We came in with a 38' RV not much problem with spaces but be aware of trees on both sides of spaces. We were given space #60 but would not have been able to open slides because of trees," advises Orita I. about Wall Doxey State Park.

Extended stays: Several parks accommodate longer-term glamping options. "This is a great extended stay campground. Lots of amenities, including a swimming pool. Very close to shops and restaurants," shares Shana D. about EZ Daze RV Park for those planning longer Memphis visits.

Leveling requirements: Prepare for site conditions before arrival. "Most of them are not leveled. Water and electric hookups," warns Orita I. about Wall Doxey State Park, highlighting the importance of bringing leveling equipment.

Wi-Fi availability: Internet access varies significantly between glamping locations. "Strong wifi, cable reception wasn't great," reports Karen about EZ Daze RV Park, noting the reliable connectivity important for those working remotely.
