Best Campgrounds near Stanton, TN

Campgrounds near Stanton, Tennessee provide a range of accommodation options across several state parks and private facilities. Fort Pillow Historic State Park Campground and Chickasaw State Park Campground offer tent and RV sites with electrical hookups and modern amenities, while private operations like Serendipity Resort provide additional options including cabins and glamping facilities. Most campgrounds in this region remain open year-round, with several offering full hookups for RV campers as well as primitive tent sites for those seeking a more traditional camping experience.

Roads leading to most developed campgrounds are well-maintained, though some facilities like Fort Pillow have narrower access roads that may present challenges for larger RVs. "Wife and I camp here 2 or 3 times a year. Rangers are top-notch and friendly. Bath houses are clean," noted one visitor about Fort Pillow State Park. Most campgrounds in the area offer water and electric hookups, with many also providing sewer connections. Cell service can be spotty in certain locations, particularly at Fort Pillow where reviews indicate connectivity is limited. Weather remains mild through much of the camping season, though summer humidity can be significant, making spring and fall particularly popular for camping visits.

Campers frequently mention the shade available at many area campgrounds as a significant benefit during hot summer months. Several campgrounds offer water-based recreation, with Chickasaw State Park providing boat-in camping access and water activities. Private RV parks like Joy-O RV Park cater primarily to travelers along I-40, providing convenient overnight stops with full hookups. According to one reviewer, sites at Memphis East Campground are "clean but campers are close together," which reflects a common theme at more developed facilities. For military personnel and veterans, Midway RV Park offers a well-maintained option with concrete pads and spacious sites. Most state park facilities provide more natural settings with greater distance between campsites compared to private RV parks in the region.

    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.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    Decent RV park Right on the mississippi

    Low key RV Park, and sites are a bit close together, but it's right on the Mississippi, and is wonderful views of the river! The staff was extremely helpful. Some of the sites only have 50 and 30 amp power, and I primarily use 20 amp for my camper van, and the staffer was very willing to help me switch sites to accommodate my needs.

    Tom Sawyer's RV Park

    4.4 stars

    Holy heck the drive getting to this place is crazy- left off the interstate, through a shady part of Memphis, past all kinds of industry, across tracks and over a dike, down a curvy bumpy gravel road past ancient campground signs and various unrelated turn offs.... When you get to the park check in building it's a relief but not a departure from what you've just seen lol. However, the woman who checked us in was very nice. Driving into the campground is almost as weird- random electrical towers, old tree houses falling down from floods, debris scattered here and there...... We got a riverfront pull through site, which was cool but not appreciated as much at it should have been due to the real feel of 95 degrees when we pulled in and zero shade to setup in. As evening rolled around, the beauty of this place came alive. We ate dinner in the shade due to the smart layout of the sites, and as the breeze picked up we could enjoy the scenery in earnest for the first time. Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream. The distant banks of the Tennessee side showed their sandy promontory. As the sun began to set, we walked along the river and climbed on huge logs and ran up and down the river bank. The RVs parked here along the river were classy and in stark contrast to the less than well maintained grounds. As I sat on the bench with my sons at dusk looking out across the mighty miss, the condition of the campground wasn't on my mind. This place is worth a stop for a day or two as you explore Memphis. Riverfront sites are a must.

    Green's Quiet Acre

    Great spot

    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.
