We stayed here for ~2.5 months.  Will detail good/bad comments below:

Good

1. Owner.  Wes.  He is awesome. 

2. Safety. This is next to police academy, and has several students living in it - never felt danger here.

3. Away from it all.  But still close to Memphis.  About 15 minutes to downtown, but within cell service. 

Bad

1. Workers mainly.  Ton of construction, trade, and 0500-1700 workers.  This was great from a sleeping standpoint (no one was ever loud) but kids didn't have a scene so to speak.

2. Exposed.  In the sun, rain, wind, etc.  It was an old mobile-home park, so very exposed to elements.

We stayed here this past fall as part of a visit to Springfield, IL to visit family and drive to Iowa.  We have family in Springfield, so haven't ever had a reason to "camp" there, but made this place our first spot.  

It was great.  The owners were super helpful, they literally showed us to our spot (even though this is a big campground) and were available for any questions or needs.

Also - this is right off I-55, so it was very easy in/out with a large 5th wheel, which is always a plus!

We stayed here while moving out of Hoover, AL.  And have been back twice because of that experience.  

Good

1. Huge campground.  Haven't ever found a time when it is completely full.

2. Really clean and maintained by the city (trash, water, etc).  So always taken care of.

3. Next to huge sports complex (convenient for sporting events).  

4. Next to huge water park/splash pad - was a ton of fun for the kids.

Bad

1. WIFI is meh.  Would expect more from a city campground.

2. Everything is concrete.  This isn't for the "view" campground, it is convenient. 

3. City, not country.  It is super convenient to everything in Hoover/Birmingham, but isn't "outdoors" experience if you are trying to camp.

Stayed here for a night.  Got in after dark, left before sunrise.  So not a ton of "experience" at this campground.  

But right off the interstate, and safe/clean/easy.  So good stay.

Although this is called the Memphis KOA - it is a bit of a hike.  Especially when the bridge (I-40) is out.  

This campground is very typical for a KOA Journey.  Right off the interstate, nice pull-throughs, minimal amenities.  

We stayed here for a couple of weeks while working in Memphis - good/bad comments below:

Good

1. Staff.  Super nice, very helpful.

2. Ease of access to I-55.  

Bad

1. Remote (not in a good way). Kind of far from West Memphis, within 10 minutes to Marion, but nothing is convenient. 

2. Not in Memphis.  Per the name, this is really important to note.  Assume it is 30 minutes to where you are going in Memphis.  45 if the bridge is out.  

3. It floods when it storms.  Like 5 inches standing water.  Should probably be fixed.

Ok - so this campground is a few things.  Will detail the good/bad below as we saw it:

Good

1. This campground is super remote.  Like 20 minutes from downtown Memphis, but 0 bars of cell service.  Really nice for an escape, but hard if trying to work out of here.

2. This campground is part of a HUUUUUUGE state park.  Like 10000 acres.  

3. Tons of outdoors activities in this state park.

Bad

1. No cell service.  Or Internet.  Or anything.  There is very small service for WIFI available at the visitor center, which is a 5min drive from the park.

2. Bugs from April - October are pretty bad.  This is in a forest, so they are constantly around.

3. Bath areas are old.  And full of mosquitos.  Would make sure you understand this before camping.

4. No Full Hookups (state park).

First, I'm not sure why there aren't 100 reviews here.  This campground is on the reservoir, super close to Jackson/Madison/Ridgeland, but still has all the camp amenities that make camping fun.  

This campground has two sections - long term and camping.  Long term is more like an RV park, but it is nicely separated from the short-term campground which is truly water front. 

This campground also has a nice Marina/Camp Store (and coming restaurant), as well as a nice pool and bathhouse for short-term campers.

Also - as this is a marina as well, there is a full-service marina, boat ramps, and parking slips if you need them!

Altogether, would definitely stay here if coming through Jackson, worth the trip.

We stayed here for a long weekend while visiting Hot Springs.  This campground is AMAZING!!!

First, almost all sites were within water distance.  We had a site that was 3 sites up from the water, but right next to some of the campground/state park hiking trails.

Second, this was only ~20 minutes to Hot Springs, but it felt like it was 5 hours away once you got there.  This was such a nice surprise! Talk about escaping the crowd!

Will definitely come back here!

Stayed here in the winter (March) and this was one of the few Nebraska Campgrounds that was open.  

Super clean, owners were friendly and helped us in/out of the campground. 

We were only here for a night, but everything worked that we needed minus water which wasn't insulated to use.  No issues as we were just in for the night, but worth mentioning.

Great, safe, and quiet campground. Beautiful site on a pond, clean bath houses, cool weekend amenities, and since we came in October, pretty empty after Labor Day during the week.

Owners very easy to work with, propane refill was easy, and payment schedule was convenient.

Overall, would 100% come back to this campground in the future and would love to see it in the summer!
