  General Watkins Conservation Area

  Maybe not a travel destination, but certainly a good waypoint.

  We opted for this site on our way west as a stopover because it was free and not a parking lot. There are a couple of loop trails and we walked one of them. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon. The locals use the area for fishing and walking and it was somewhat busy in the afternoon. A couple of guys fished at night until about nine. There was only one other couple camping. Very quiet and peaceful. There was a portable toilet but we didn't investigate.

  The cool thing was that the loop trail was forested by hundreds of paw paw trees. It must have been just past the season and we saw only a couple of decaying ones, but the entire trail smelled of apple cider vinegar and was quite pleasant.

  If you consider this waypoint, two things:

  1. The last mile is good, but very dusty, gravel road.

  2. No cell coverage in the parking lot for T-Mobile, some coverage on loop trail.

  South Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Beautiful Location

  Site 17

  Location : perfect location if you’re wanting a good view of the water. Brush is cleared behind this site making it a clear view to the water / sunset. The sunset is breathtaking. Directly across from the bathrooms, laundry, & dumpster. Paved site. Fire pit. Tree located right in front of the spot, would only be a problem of putting out an awning.

  Bathrooms : Shockingly clean! Large bathrooms. Laundry area located in the same building. Dumpster outside of the building.

  Cons : I can’t even explain the amount of mosquitoes at this site - of course because you’re directly on the water, but the mosquitoes are insane. We had trouble locating the campground by the address on the reservation. We ended up finding it by putting in Blue Bank Resort which is located right next door.

  Nice RV Park

  We’ve stayed here a couple times when passing through. Nice level gravel sites. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms only have one shower and toilet. Small laundry.

  Gorgeous views

  Gorgeous views of the Mississippi River. It was a little sketch getting here but super easy. One lane dirt road but room to move over if need be. I just got here, so we'll see how the night fares 😆 might review more later.

  South Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Great stay

  Stayed for the night on the south campground and it was excellent. Lots of friendly people with locals and travelers alike . Only downside was the massive amount of gnats and mosquitos by the lake sites. Bring your mosquito repellent and don’t let them take away the great experience you can have here! :)

  Reelfoot Lake State Park Campgrounds

  Reeled in at Reelfoot SP

  This is a great state park campground, with the water and electric close to each pad, Although some sites have water on one side & electric on the other! The camp sites out along the main road actually faced the main road, so your front door opens on to the main road about 75' away. Camp sites on the water are great, but it's not an easy walk in to the water, there are cypress knuckles and no beaches. campsites along the end and side between 19 - 25 are actually backed by swampy overgrown woods, rather than actual waterfront. There are a lot of snakes so be aware of those.

  South Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Getting Reeled at Reelfoot

  Campground is well layed out with everything well marked. The campsites all have Blacktop drives With concrete pads for picnic tables. Picnic tables are fastened down so you cannot move them. Water and electric are near each site as well as a standard fire ring. There are 2 shower houses on each end of the campground and then there are also several bathrooms on each opposing corner so they're close to all camp sites. Beware the lake has a lot of snakes, so if you are in a lake front campsite you are more likely to see snakes. And the sights along the leg from 23 24 25 up to 68 and on down to the seventies on the map looks like it's lake front but it's actually backed with wooded overgrowth.

  South Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Family friendly, simple campground with lake views

  This campground had a lot of families, a simple but age appropriate playground (ages 5-12), and many spots with views of the lake. The bath house nearest our site (88) was not in commission, and judging from the webs and nature overtaking it I would say it hd been closed for a long time. The land is low so if there is heavy rain it will be soggy in many places. The site we had was spaced nicely from others but close to the main road. Lots of campers with dogs. Only one hiking trail on-site. We did choose one night to go to the resort restaurant (a fish house) next door to the campground (a quick walk even with small children).

  South Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Nice park with some great water front sites

  Reelfoot is just a few hours from our Tennessee home and a great weekend spot. The campground is next to a waterfront restaurant with boat/fishing and a nice deck. There are several restaurants and stores close to the campground.

  The camp store is small but has essential items and the folks were nice. They delivered wood to our site.

  This place is flooded (March 7, 2023)

  I booked this place because I was excited about the boardwalk and the trees growing out of the water. We didn’t really get to enjoy much of the campground because it was flooded.

  Bathrooms were very clean and showers were awesome. Staff was very nice and helpful.

  Off season, nice place to stop over for the night

  Near highway, access road is narrow and a little rough. Called to check availability, staff seamed very nice, sent text with directions and check in info. Very reasonable for full hook-up and 50 amp service.

  Bootheel RV Park

  No Major Changes from Our Last stay

  We called Bootheel a few hours from arrival in early January, and there were plenty of spaces, so we headed in. When we arrived at the campground(CG), there was a sign at the self check-in that there was no water due to the recent heavy rains and flooding. Water was on in the showers and laundry but not the sites. That put us in a bit of a pickle as we found out on the day before departing our home base that our water pump was not pulling water and making a terrible noise. Having been to this CG before, we just figured we'd get a FHU site and deal with the water pump when we reached warmer weather. However, there was no water fill available, and we had very little water in the tank. We could have planned better for this had we been told about the water situation when we called. We drove around to the back row where FHU sites 40- 45 were available. We chose 43, which had the least flooding. As we had just departed from our home base near St. Louis, we didn’t need to dump, and that was a good thing as the sewer might be full due to the flooding. We carry a spare water pump, and during the replacement, we found that the filter part had cracked, so we removed that part, and we were back in business. We had overnighted here several times before with no issues. They did not offer a discount for the inconvenience."

  Easy, Friendly & Well kept

  We arrived just after dark. The friendly staff took us to our site right away. Nice and clean area. Quiet area. Has one restroom & shower each for men and women that is super clean in well lit area. Our only hiccup was we passed it first time driving by so look closely for the entrance. Veterans discount. We would 100% stay again if we needed to.

  Friendly and Lovely

  We stayed here for an overnight. The customer service has been so friendly! The park is very clean with great space between sites and lots of trees. Connections had easy access and fantastic wireless. The park also has cable tv. Easy access off the highway. I highly recommend.

  Unlevel sites.

  The Mississippi River views from the campground are gorgeous. Stayed here 1 night traveling to Reelfoot Lake. The site of a civil war fort on high bluffs adds a bit of history to your stay. Our back in site on the river side of the campground was very unlevel. Bathhouse was ok.

  Reelfoot Lake State Park Campgrounds

  Mosquitos

  We spent 3 days here with a back in lake front site. The mosquitos would eat you alive, even with repellant. The lake is a famous Tennessee landmark, known for the beech trees in and surrounding the lake. Make sure you go to the visitor center with the raptors and boardwalk. Kayaking the lake is a really awesome activity. The campground is a little rundown, but still nice.

  Wonderful place to camp!

  A wonderful campground located next to the Mississippi River on a bluff. Paved camping sites with plenty of space. It is very clean and has a playground, bathhouse and washers and dryers for laundry. The view is awesome and it’s a great place to meet new campers!

  Airpark North Campground — Reelfoot Lake State Park

  Liked everthing

  This was a 1 night stay, just passing through. Glad we found this gem. Mid week in October, so the campground was 1/4 full. Our site was just steps away from the beautiful lake. Water, power and nicely shaded. Sparkling clean bathrooms and showers (with heat lamps!). Took a short drive to the Wildlife Refuge. Quick walk to the Blue Bank Fish House for a great dinner. Would stay here again.
