    Reelfoot Lake State Park anchors the camping landscape near Troy, Tennessee, with two primary camping areas: South Campground and Airpark North Campground. The region includes a mixture of state park facilities and private RV parks, with accommodation types ranging from tent-only primitive sites to full-hookup RV lots and lakeside cabins. Both campgrounds at Reelfoot Lake provide water and electric hookups, with South Campground offering additional amenities like showers, a playground, and waterfront sites. Several private options like Coyote View RV Park, Roberson Camper Lots, and Blue Bank Resort expand the variety of camping styles available within a 30-mile radius of Troy.

    Access to most camping areas around Troy remains open year-round, though weather conditions can significantly impact the experience. The low-lying terrain around Reelfoot Lake makes many sites susceptible to flooding and moisture retention. Paved camping pads help mitigate muddy conditions, but tent campers should be prepared for potentially wet ground, especially after rainfall. Bug protection is absolutely essential during warm months, with mosquitoes, gnats, and flies presenting a serious challenge at lakefront sites. A camper noted, "We arrived in the evening and almost didn't stay the night...the mosquitoes, gnats, and flies were so overwhelming that we couldn't go outside."

    Waterfront camping locations receive consistently higher ratings despite insect challenges, with campers particularly valuing sunset views over Reelfoot Lake. Several visitors mentioned the unique cypress tree environment and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, especially for bird watchers seeking eagles, ospreys, herons, and seasonal pelican migrations. Campground layouts vary significantly across the area—South Campground features more amenities but closer site spacing, while some reviewers prefer the quieter, less crowded atmosphere at Airpark North. Many campers recommend bringing or renting watercraft to fully experience the area. A review emphasized that "this park is like nothing else, it's a flooded forest. You can kayak among this and other lovely bayou environments...You will need a watercraft of some sort or you will be kicking yourself for not being able to enjoy it fully."

      Magnolia Campground & Country Store

      worst customer service we've ever experienced

      THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE CAMPGROUND, NOT THE STORE. We had high hopes for this very small campground. Our pull thru site was not quite level and just big enough for our truck and 30 foot trailer, but we lifted one side to be level and hooked up to sewer, water, and electric. We emailed them and told them which site we chose upon arrival. The nights were pretty quiet due to minimal nearby highway noise. We planned a four-night stay but only stayed for two nights. The restroom and the laundry room are not too bad. One restroom with one shower and one each washer and dryer in the laundry room.$5 to wash and dry(pay at the office.) On a walk with our dog, I was surprised by an unleashed dog that came from under one of the RVs that followed us for a bit. Okay...not sure if there are rules. We were never asked to sign the receipt because we never received a copy of the campground rules and policies(according to the receipt they emailed to us when we made the reservation.) On our final morning, electric was turned off by an electrician and we were not notified. After speaking with the electrician to understand the project, my husband walked to the store/office and spoke with a woman(owner?) and said we would be leaving due to no communication about this and we expected a refund for the 2-night remainder of our time. She said,"Sorry, we'll refund your money." Then the man(owner?) got done with a phone call and asked what was the matter. My husband explained that no one let us know about the power and the man said it would not be long...about an hour(the electrician told us about and hour per post which would make it a minimum of half a day as there were six sites on our row.) My husband explained he was disappointed with the customer service and the man replied with,"THEN PACK UP AND GET OUT OF HERE AND YOU'LL GET YOUR DAMN MONEY." We never received a refund. We were disappointed both by not being notified and in the level of customer service my husband received from the man. I was also removed from their Facebook page, which is a really odd gesture. PLUS...one of the other guests of the park with the first unleashed dog I encountered slowly circled our RV when my husband went to fill up with fuel so we could leave. Customer service should be the key to their existence; it makes or breaks and establishment. We have visited 30 states and over 140 park so far, yet have never been treated like this.

      Good 1 night layover

      Very convenient layover. Nice looking park. Friendly staff. Level sites. Just a little picky and would say the bathrooms and laundry need updating.

      Boomland RV Park & Campground

      Great for an Overnighter

      Boomland RV Park& Campground was super easy to find off I-57 near the I-55 junction. After passing the Boomland complex, the large campground sign clearly marks the right turn into the park. The campground operates first come, first served, so campers choose a site in either the 50/30-amp or 30-amp pull-through sections, all with full hookups, with power options clearly marked on numbered site posts. We drove the small campground loop to find a longer pull-through so we would not have to disconnect our 40-foot fifth wheel and F-450 for an overnight stay, and settled on site 20 with 50/30-amp service. The 30-amp section in the center of the campground appeared to have the longest sites overall. After parking and setting up, registration was handled inside the building by completing an envelope with name, vehicle license number, and payment, then dropping the envelope in the box. All utilities functioned properly, though the campground does not offer Wi-Fi. Cell service was solid with three bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. We walked to the Boomland complex and noticed 24-hour diesel pumps that accept major credit and trucker cards, which could be convenient even though we did not fuel there. The Boomland complex was worth exploring, with a restaurant, gift shop, packaged foods, fireworks, souvenirs, and snacks, and during our November visit the seasonal Christmas shop was especially impressive. Boomland also offers a 10% military discount on non-food items. The campground does not have a designated pet area, but a large park-like space across the street provided plenty of room for off-leash exercise. Overall, this campground made a solid and convenient overnight stop.

      Under construction

      Called to confirm campground was open. And was told it was. When I arrived, between the 20 open sites there were two groups of workers clearing large trees. I did not camp due to noise and safety.

    Guide to Troy

    Camping near Troy, Tennessee centers on Reelfoot Lake, formed by earthquakes in 1811-1812 that caused the Mississippi River to temporarily flow backward. The lake's shallow depth (average 5-7 feet) creates a distinctive ecosystem with cypress trees growing directly from the water. During winter months, the region becomes significantly less buggy while maintaining accessibility for campers seeking wildlife viewing opportunities.

    What to do

    Pontoon tours: $20-30 per person at Reelfoot Lake State Park provide guided exploration of this unique ecosystem. "Did a 2 hour pontoon tour offered at the TN State Park Visitor Center. Guide was excellent. Neat to see a bald cypress in one of TN's only 2 natural lakes. The history of Reelfoot is interesting, parts of the tour feel like you are in a cypress swamp, not a lake. Saw 10 bald eagles, osprey, egret, blue heron. Worth the price and time!"

    Mini golf and snacks: Available at Columbus-Belmont State Park for a reasonable fee. "Columbus has plenty of areas to have a cookout, an abundance of trails to explore, a ton of scenery for your eyes to enjoy, history woven into its fabric which is narrated to you by way of signs and a museum, a beautiful campground, a pleasant little food shack with reasonable food prices (hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, sodas and more on menu), and cute mini Golf course!"

    Civil War history exploration: Self-guided tours through actual trenches dug by soldiers. "Just down the street from the campground, maybe 0.5 miles, is the main attraction for the state park. You can even take a self-guided walking tour through the trenches dug by soldiers in the Civil War, walking by several cannons and other relics left behind."

    Kayaking through cypress forests: Rental options available at multiple locations near camping areas. "The lake is very beautiful. We saw pelicans, bald eagles, and herons. The campground is on a main road so you will hear traffic. If you don't want to cook, there are restaurants very close by."

    What campers like

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Airpark North Campground provides access to diverse bird species year-round. "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."

    Educational visitor center: Features live animals and exhibits. "Pretty awesome place the visitors center is really cool lots of bald eagles, snakes, and fish to check out!"

    Mississippi River views: Many sites at nearby parks offer direct river access. "Several swings and benches line the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. There is a playground in the middle of the loop, along with a very clean bath house and shelter area."

    Lakefront camping: Some sites at South Campground provide direct water views. "We snagged a lakeside spot and listened to the water lapping up against the bank while we slept. Quiet and peaceful. Took our jeep and did some off road exploring. Also, the price to stay at this park is very low for what you get."
