Tom Sawyer’s RV Park

OK park that was clean and on the river. Nothing special. We had a spot with a pull through concrete pad on the river so it was a bit more expensive. Basically a big open area on the Mississippi flood plane. The town/area outside the park is a dump. Could not even find a grocery store. We stayed 1 nights and everything was fine.

The barges do make a bit of noise, but nothing major. 2 bars 5G

Nice quiet campground with river view on the mississippi river. Friendly folks, clean sites, free laundry. Full hookup for 40 bucks. Exactly 15 min drive to convention center in downtown memphis. Campground is next to a oil refinery, but you never notice it. Fun watching the tug boats and barges up and down the river day and night.

Big rig friendly,FHU,concrete pads mostly,easy in and out, no frills parkThis was an ok stay. No real issues. The park is right on the river so the views are amazing. Would stay again.

We stayed here for 6 nights in the beginning of March and it was beautiful. Amazing weather, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets!

The sites are concrete pad and angled so no one has a blocked view which we thought was fantastic. There are sites off the water with more trees, all sites are a decent size. You do have to keep an eye on the flood stage, while we were here the river was very high. Watching these enormous barges go up and down the river is fascinating! Keep in mind, they go all day and night so you will hear them at night. We would stay here again if coming through the area.

Tom Sawyer did not disappoint. While the drive to the RV park is a little sketchy, once you get in it’s a great little park.

Clean. Quiet. Great view of the MississippiClean washrooms. Laundry. 15/30/50 amp. Sewer and water. No Wi-Fi. No cable. Plenty of channels on air. 3 Bars 5G Verizon. Site was concrete and fairly level. RV park is located inside levy through heavy industrial area.

No real connection to Tom Sawyer or Samuel Clements except its right on the Missippi River and plenty of barges going past. But a little run down. Riverfront sites are FHU.

But a little run down. Riverfront sites are FHU. The road in/out is a bit rough, but no worse than lots of parks. Our timing (Monday) was a bit off to visit some of the sites we intended, but the National Civil Rights Museum filled an afternoon and the Peabody Hotel lobby was well worth a walk around. We imagined Beal Street rocks later in the day.

We followed the website instructions to the park, as recommended. There were signs to the park that were very helpful especially as we got close.

There were signs to the park that were very helpful especially as we got close. Due to COVID there was contactless check in and per email we picked up our envelope and headed to pull through site 54 with FHUs. We received the major TV channels through our OTA antenna plus a clear shot to the Southern sky for our satellite. We also got 3 to 4 bars on Verizon and the park Wifi was average. One of this park's perks is a nice sized laundry room near the office that was FREE. There were also two smaller and also free laundry rooms in each campground area. Tom Sawyer is one of our favorite campgrounds (CG) and we noticed that there had been a few upgrades; another restroom and laundry building added plus refurbished the river view seating outlooks and added more outlooks. Great CG for an overnighter or longer stay to explore Memphis, TN.

We stayed here October 18th for one night on our way through from the east. It was a last minute day-of reservation and we got the last spot when I called early that morning.

There was a laundry but we didn't use it or check it out. There is a lovely walk along the river, and we really enjoyed watching the barges go up and down the river. We met and chatted with some really interesting folks here.

Around 9pm we started having grounding power issues on the pedestal, which kicked off the power. There is no one available after 5pm to call or talk too. We could only use up to 10 amps at any time with a 50amp RV, even the 30amp plug had same issue. My issue with this park is no one is on duty to call for any park problems after 5pm. We most likely will not revisit this park. I'm an electrician and the issue is in the pedestal grounding, had someone been available to speak to I would have helped them repair their problem.

Our site was a gravel pull through. Pretty level. It faced the river which was so cool. There are 2 treehouses you can go up in for a bird's eye view.

The barges going up and down the river are fun to watch and are (usually) not noisy. One night, they were blowing their horns on the river for a good 15 minutes at 10pm. Mostly it was quiet. The laundry is free and the machines are nice. There were so many butterflies out in the field every day. Such a beautiful sight. It feels remote but is only about 18 minutes to downtown Memphis. Love this park!

We were stuck for a spot to stop. After 2 nights staying at Cracker Barrels and needing a break from very long tedious travel days, Tom Sawyer RV park saved the day.

After 2 nights staying at Cracker Barrels and needing a break from very long tedious travel days, Tom Sawyer RV park saved the day. When we called they had not a single spot available but the kind lady said to just come and we could dry camp on a tent spot. The minute we pulled up, a spot opened we were able to take 2 days of a much needed break. It was quite beautiful along the Mississippi River. Really enjoyed watching the barges and we walked our dog along the trails in peaceful quietness of the park. Don’t be put off by the drive in via a run down neighborhood and industrial area. Once you get to the park, everything is lovely. I look forward to staying there again. Great spot off Highway #40.

Second time we’ve stayed here while passing through. Right on the Mississippi River is a treat. The night shines on the River and the tugs moving material up and down the River is not a bother. Enjoyable to watch.

Easy check in, nice people. Great views of the Mississippi. You can sit and watch the barges. They have benches along the River, nice area to just relax or go on a walk. There are some homes that looked like tree houses? Not sure but very neat. Quiet area.

They did have a laundry room but I didn’t check them out, I was told the machines were new. We were only there one night but will go back when we are in the area.

Nice campground with full hookups. Watching the tugs on the river was really amazing. Check in was quick and easy. One extremely rude person screaming at another camper about his dog but that is a rare occurrence and not the campground’s fault. Just somewhat shocking as usually everyone is friendly.

We stopped here on a one night while transiting home from Texas. From here on out, this will be one of our stops. We cannot say enough about this place.

Great view of the river, benches along the river, sites are well kept and roads are in great shape. Everything is mowed and taken care of. Check in was no contact, with registration over the phone and a welcome packet left in front of the office. Showers were clean and taken care of. It was nice to sit with a drink and watch the tugs push barges up and down the river. You go through an industrial area to get to the campground. I've seen reviews saying the road is rough....they don't mean in the campground. They mean the city streets leading to the campground. After going through industrial areas and factories, you go down a gravel road, over the levy, and into the most unexpected campground! We love it!Note that my wife left her watch in the bathroom. We were heartbroken as I gave it to her as a special gift nearly 30 years ago. We called, they checked the bath house and didn't find it. Later in the day we received a phone call that someone had turned it in at the office! My wife emailed them a shipping label and they sent it to us, incredibly well packed. We received it today. Thank you Emie! (The person that works there that helped us.)Love the place. Stay here.

Nice campground with spots directly on the river. Lots of mature trees and good sized sites. Relaxing and enjoyable stay except for the bugs which prompted me to pick up a screenhouse so we could sit outside more.

What’s not to like about an RV site that’s 200 feet off the Mississippi River with an unobstructed view of the river. Level concrete pads with some shade trees. Did not use any of the facilities. Minutes away from Beale street. Easy access off I40. If you’re looking for a place in Memphis this is the spot.

This campground is right on the Mississippi River. We enjoyed watching the huge barges going up and down the river. It’s a very quiet, low key kind of place.

I think all the sites are full hookups.The FREE laundry facilities are a big bonus.The bathrooms/showers are small, but they are clean and air conditioned.This is a great place to stay if you want to visit Memphis.

Check-in was easy and contactless, just pick up your packet outside the office and find your spot. Roads in and out were in passable condition, I won't ding them for the potholes considering the flooding this place must experience from time to time due to the proximity to the water. Getting back and forth to Memphis, right now, can only be considered a nightmare with the I-40 bridge shut down. All traffic is being rerouted over the I-55 bridge and it is the only crossing for probably 100 miles in any direction, it took us an hour and a half to cross around noon. We would probably stay here again but will be avoiding Memphis until the bridge is fixed. Cell service is just okay, we were able to stream without any issues though.

Nice view of the river (although more industrial than we expected especially from a sound perspective), and we were in the area with mature trees which gave us comfortable shade (#40-76).

It appeared some of the higher numbers while closer to the water didn’t have nearly as much shade.The most disappointing part was access. The road to/from and major roads within the campsite weren’t very well maintained and mostly gravel with mixed quality access. The spot was a mix of paved and gravel, and at least ours was mostly level.

Being situated right on the banks of the Mississippi river, you get some awesome views while watching the tugboats push huge barges up and down the river.

About half of the sites have concrete pads; the other half of the sites were paved in gravel. Sites located along the river are long and can accommodate any size rig plus a tow vehicle. Tom Sawyer is a very large RV park with treeless sites right on the river, and many sites back among the trees away from the river. Our experience with cell service was mixed. We had 1 bar for Verizon and maybe 3 bars for AT&T; unfortunately for us, our unlimited data plan is on Verizon - so it was a long week of dropped connections and video streaming with constant buffering. Bummer! The locals we encountered in W Memphis, and across the river in Memphis, were fantastic to talk with. Poor cell phone service would be the only reason we wouldn't stay at Tom Sawyer again; otherwise, it's a great place to relax.

The entrance into the park takes you through a wooded area, which has beautiful scenery. Upon arrival they are doing contactless check in and have your car tag and park map located at the front office. They have three areas to this campground: two are located on the river and one sits back into the trees with more shade. There is also 2 ponds located on site with fishing allowed. Sites are either concrete or gravel and mostly level. All sites are full hook up with 30/50 amp electric. They also have several bathhouses and laundry facilities, both which were clean.We stayed in site 29 (concrete). We could see the river from our site, but it was a walk to get river side. Site had ample shade and was far enough apart from other campers. We also had cell service (ATT) and the park provides wifi. Pros:•Clean campground•Spacious sites•Full hook ups with laundry facilities •WiFi included•Gorgeous viewsCons:•Poison Ivy •Ticks, mosquitoes, snakes, etc...are thick

Had a very nice stay at this park. Would be a 5 star if some work was done on the access and interior road surfaces. Free Laundry was a pleasant surprise. Our rate reflects a Good Sam Discount.

RV pads were good size and long enough to put both our fifth wheel and truck on the cement pad. The space between sites was a little narrow. Views of the river were great. Bathroom with shower was clean. Also a good vibe in this park, everyone seemed friendly and happy to be on the big river! lastly easy access to Memphis - as of today 5/21/21 the I-40 bridge to Memphis is closed so expect delays if accessing from the west. We called the park on our way in and they provided a great alternate route.

The park itself is OK, unless they get a lot of rain. My issue isn't with the park, it's with the management...We arrived on 30 April and paid for one week.

The ONLY reason we chose this park was (1) the Navy base RV Park in Millington. TN was not open due to COVID-19 policy and (2) the Agricenter is not what it used to be. We are full-time RVers and we're based out if Millington, so we return to the area once a year to visit family, see all of our Doctors and renew our scripts for the next year. After we completed our first week we elected to convert to a monthly rate as we felt it wouldn't impact our access to the Memphis side of the river. During our first week we were notified that the base had opened however we elected to stay in place. UNFORTUNATELY the Hernando De Soto Bridge closed down on the 11th of May which significantly impacted our transit to and from the Memphis side of the river. I informed them of the situation and explained we needed to move and they told me that I couldn't get a refund for the unused day as I signed an application stating there are no refunds for early departure from a monthly reservation. Regardless of their policy, they refused to consider the extenuating circumstances and the impact to my wife & I. I will NEVER consider staying there again.

Oh my. Campsites right smack dab on Mississippi River. Listened to the tugboats all night long. Beautiful ambiance.

You round the corner toward the sites and there it is, the Mississippi River!! Good sized sites with full hookups. We had a clear view with no sites in front of us, it was great. The roads throughout the park could use a couple loads of gravel but definitely would not keep me away in the future. Site was level.

I think we were site 68, we had river front. A little tough to navigate in with 40’ towing. The inside roads were terrible, thus the 4 and would not stay again. Once settled it was nice to watch the barges and good places to walk dogs. Rate would have been less had I remembered my Good Sam discount.

Off Highway 40 a couple of easy miles. Right on the banks of the Mississippi where you can view lots of waterway traffic. Humongous barges moving up and down river.

No cable but plenty of regulars Memphis stations.Little building men/women individual restroom shower areas. Shower good and hot water aplenty.The public drive in and out of rows and park needs grading. Very bumpy. We stayed in our Leisure Unity 26’. We will return next year on our annual trek from CA to TN.

A great spot right on the Mighty Mississippi River, working barges up and down the river was the noisiest thing we heard. Nice grassy areas and trails to walk the dogs or run on a leash. Easy trip to downtown Memphis. Walmart, Loves, and Petro all within 10 mins. Free laundry! A bit soggy in spots with the rain.

So we loved this location, right on the Mississippi, lots of benches to stop and enjoy the views. Nice grassy areas and trails to walk the dog, neat tree houses and friendly staff.

Nice grassy areas and trails to walk the dog, neat tree houses and friendly staff. We felt safe here and it is so close to all the fun things in Memphis, TN!The little laundry room was clean, had brand new machines and best of all... it was FREE!I will say the only negative was that it rained most of the time we were here and the non waterfront sites are on gravel/dirt/dead grass. We had mud/water and grass everywhere there was no escaping it. I would love to see all paved sites and maybe some trails with gravel for walking the dog without going through water soaked grass.

Wonderful campground. Simple but very well cared for. Large open field to run dog on leash. Walking trails in woods and along the River just wonderful. Great views of sunrise.

We did endure rain and it does get quite messy, but drys up quick. Laundry facilities very clean. Two small bins to drop dog poop bags along the River. We took Lyft ride into Memphis for $20. Host were very helpful and even borrowed us a latter to get on top of our rig because A/C was broken. My husband used WiFi for work and it even worked for video call, but spotty at times. Sunday evening during rain storm WiFi did not work so good. Mostly used hot spot. I used my Cellular for zoom calls worked great. Antenna worked great to watch TV.

There are no dog facilities and we only saw one trash bin (a dumpster at entrance of the park)Hook ups were a bit of a challenge, if you are in a class a and want to face the river. You have to run your hook ups underneath the coach. Lastly the access in and around the park was difficult. We tow a Mini Cooper which is pretty low and we had to disconnect to get in to our site and reconnect at the main entrance when we left.

You are right on the Mississippi River! Our site was concrete (definitely get one) and our dinette backed to the Mississippi. We could not stop looking at the river!

Office was very nice and they accept packages, which we appreciate. Work with them on the site selection so that you get the view you want. Convenient to Memphis. Highly recommend the Metal Museum.

We use a hotspot for the TV but the signal was too weak to cast anything. 2 bars for Sprint and Verizon.

Was enjoyable watching the boats travel up and down the river. Our site was not on the river and had we pulled into the spot correctly, we would be looking at the woods. We pulled in backwards and were still able to hook up by running the hoses/wires under the coach. This gave us the view.The day we arrived, a large falling tree took down 2 electric transformers, leaving us without electricity, but we used the generator. Because of the lack of power, the park owner didn't charge us for the night. Power was restored the next day. We didn't use any of the facilities.

The owner was super nice and the site was so pretty! There’s a river on one side of our spot and a pond on the other. Highly recommend this site!

Stayed here for 1 night on a road trip. We thought it was a great place. Our site was right on the river abd we loved watching the river traffic with all the barges as we cooked out and the. Took a walk after dinner. You can see the Memphis skyline in the distance. We will definitely stay here again.

We only stayed over one night but all systems worked well. Did hear one overnight train whistle but wow what a view of barges on the river in the morning.

The spot was perfect we thought it was the best one with a view! You could hear some of the barges go by but not too bad. We would stay there again and longer, close to Memphis.

Every space is big, spacious and relaxing. Some spaces along the river. Beautiful views of Mississippi River, nice and clean site and park and free laundry. Just sitting outside watching views was amazing, especially the sunrise which I had to here. We’ll be back for sure!!! ❤️❤️❤️

We had a lot of rain so it got a little muddy. The site was level no complaints from us.

Chose this park as our stop over from Atlanta to Durango. This campground was perfect for our needs. Check in was easy, site was level and watching the barges was a bonus. The WiFi didn’t really work for us, but everything else was great. We would come stay again.

We thought this was funny - we LOVED the road leading in! It had a very scenic Disney/Pirates of the Caribbean feel to it - wholly appropriate for it’s theme. Especially the awesome old wood shack type building that the office was in - for us, all these just added to the overall feel of the place, and it’s great! Once at our parking space - we got a concrete space, which was level and clean.... next to a nice slice of grass with a standard picnic table and a nice, wide view of the river. Very scenic. There’s a steep bank down to the river - and several classic benches along the top of the bank. You can tell by all the driftwood at the top of the bank that the water has risen that high in the past.The only downside was the exceptional amount of mosquitoes flying around - but there were also a bunch of large dragonflies having a feast, so there’s that.Quiet, clean. We’d stay again.

We almost didn’t stay here because we were put off by the somewhat creepy vibe along the road to enter the campground, but once we parked we were treated to a pretty majestic view.

We watched barges pass by and saw a beautiful sunrise. We arrived a little early, but that wasn’t a problem. They also had a water main break and were prompt with fixing it. They came and told everyone what was happening immediately and about how long it would take. If coming in the summer be aware that one loop doesn’t offer any shade so you may want to ask for a shady spot, however those do not get as good river views. They offer free wi fi, which we used to download some shows for the kids to watch offline.

Loved this place and will come back for sure and stay longer! We were right next to the WiFi and working remotely was super easy! Loved this park and being next to the water

This place is mostly older couples in very large motor coaches. Priced slightly high but nice. We had about a 20 minute drive to the zoo.

We spent one night there, an unscheduled stop due to our generator quitting on us. The sites were spacious and level. Check in after hours was easy no contact, they had name and site number ready for us when we got in. Great view of the river.

We towed a 42-foot 5th wheel through the streets and over the levee. Didn't consider any part of the access route difficult or uncomfortable. Concrete pad was plenty long enough for RV and truck.

Concrete pad was plenty long enough for RV and truck. River traffic of all sorts - even a stern-wheel cruise ship - passed with in easy shouting distance. The sunrise over the river was worth the price alone. Memphis is easily in view but no city noise was heard. Train and boat noise was not as much as we have heard in many other places; none of it disturbed us day or night. This camp instantly became one of our favorite places: a most restful weekend.

Great campground right on the Mississippi. You can watch the barges go by, all day long. Sites were long and level, with good power, water and sewer. Staff us very nice and always busy improving the area

Better access is via South Loop Drive Signage was a little misleading for us as the arrow pointing they way was incorrect. Check in was quick and easy and we were escorted to your site.The parameter road was paved in good condition but the lane roads were gravel and some parts were not so nice. Our site, 53, was at the end of a pull through row. It had a concrete pad and picnic table. Services were at the left rear. Utilities were 50 and 30 amp power and water. There is no cable but we found a number of OTA channels. WiFi was fair. We had a great view of the Mississippi River. It was easy to watch the river traffic. There are no restaurants or services within walking distance.We paid $44 per night and don’t feel we received good value for our money. We would probably not return if we were in the area.

This was perfect for a quick overnight stop. Simple set up and beautiful views of the river from just about any spot (if not a short walk to the riverfront).

Sites were level and not too muddy even after a decent rain. Easy after hours check in process. There wasn’t much for kids to do but watching a barge cruise by was fun. The road to the park took us past a propane processing center so there was a slight smell on the road there. Once at the campsite I could not smell it anymore but my husband said he could. Overall it was a nice, safe spot for an overnight!

Only two negatives for us...One is they do not offer a military discount along with the other programs. The lady that booked our night stated the owner does not allow a discount for military :( so I picked the cheapest option they had which was $32 for a site that was "closer to the office".

The lady that booked our night stated the owner does not allow a discount for military :( so I picked the cheapest option they had which was $32 for a site that was "closer to the office". Since there were no front river spots I did not feel the need to up pay and I could just walk for a view. Well site #7 is not front row right on the river but it has a view of the river without any obstructions and I could see the sunrise from my kitchen window. Second is the roads are pretty bumpy. The holes and dips could use some filling in. The site was just a short walk to the bathrooms that were very clean. The bathroom house had to private rooms with a heater to keep it nice and warm. We overall enjoyed the stay and especially the sunrise view.

So it's not the easiest campground to get to you come through not the best area of town then an industrial area.

The shower was clean but the bathroom had a lot of bugs. There aren't many bathrooms so if your rig has one that would be good. The views are great here right on the Mississippi. There are some trails to walk or run on in the woods. Memphis is a short drive from here.

The nice thing was they do have free laundry two washers and two dryers. This time of year was hot and super humid. It rained quite a bit so it was pretty muddy. Overall easy to find, nice staff... gave 3 stars for the smell and small bathrooms.

We were in a gravel spot that was well maintained, even after being flooded recently. Site was level, water pressure was good and no electric issues (30a). The park was very clean, staff was courteous. No dumpsters around, but they circle around 3 times during the day and will pick up your trash. We only stopped by for the night, but had enough time to take a walk along a trail in the woods, and along the river where we saw several barges going up and down the river. Such a peaceful place, nice cool breeze this time of year made the evening beautiful. I imagine the bugs would be pretty bad in the middle of summer, we had a few little biting flies. Will definitely be back!

Loved our stay! We were 2nd row from the river and loved our evening and morning walks! There are trails throughout the property. Our site was completely level. The property was about 60-70% full. Sites spaced decently. The free laundry was a great perk! 15 mins to downtown.

It’s off the highway enough to feel you are camping out of the city, but close enough to get back on the interstate within minutes. The campground’s main attraction is the river traffic on the Mississippi River. Multiple benches are set up along the riverbank for you to relax and watch life float by. For those that don’t typically like to hear Diesel engines, the tugs pushing the barge traffic can be heard lumbering by. We thought that the rumbling of the boats were quint and enjoyed the experience.The bathroom facilities were nice, they offer free use of their laundry and dryer facilities and the sites are spacious. The nightly rate is a bit high for the “amenities” but you are paying for the location by the river.

I swear we could sit out on the benches along the river and watch barges carrying, who knows what, traveling up and down the river, all day. The park has beautiful sites where some are gravel and some cement. There are areas that are wooded and others out in the open along the river.

The park has beautiful sites where some are gravel and some cement. There are areas that are wooded and others out in the open along the river. They have two laundry areas one with two washers and dryers and one with five each. Bathrooms need help. WiFi is very good. You are just a few minutes from Memphis Tennessee and all they have to offer from great restaurants and don’t forget Graceland.

Stayed one night on site right off the Mississippi River. Great park, concrete pads, the welcoming staff were very helpful and pleasant. Will definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

There are even large grassy areas for the dogs. But the bathrooms are unisex -- a single toilet with a shower. And there are, I think, only four bathrooms for the all the campers. The idea of being enclosed in that tiny bathroom shower right after someone has had a particularly smelly bathroom experience is, to say the least, unappealing.

We spent 5 pleasant nights tenting at Tom Sawyer's. It is very convenient to Memphis where we were attending a wedding. The tent area is a large field with shade from tall trees most of the day.

This is our second time here and still pleased. We made the mistake of not making a reservation but snagged 1of the last 2 sites they had. We arrived about 4:00.

We came from I40 east and did not exit at 280 like their website states, just take 55 South poop and Exit 4. GPS got us right here.

It’s clean camp ground. They take Good Sams which takes the $39 rate near the river down to $35.There’s nothing really special just a nice RV park.

We walked around and there were dog poop stations and benches overlooking the river. I was disappointed by the lack of kid friendly areas in proximity to our Rv area (I don’t know if they have one. It was too hot to walk to the other side) The river smelled and the picnic tables could be replaced. Starting to splinter. Internet is on and off. Quality is lacking. Even for simple school work.

This was a great place to stay for a visit to Memphis. It felt safe and it's right along the Mississippi. We have a Youtube in the blog section that includes things we did while in Memphis. The bathrooms were fine. There is a laundry room but we did not use it. We enjoyed walking over to the river and watching the barges.

Downtown Memphis TN with Beale Street, Graceland and other tourist attractions just a short drive across the river. Does not have resort features such as pool etc, but does have the largest mowed lawn for walking along the river and exercising the dogs. Laundry is free; restrooms are rustic. Short term sites are close to the river; weekly and monthly sites are farther back in the trees. Paved and gravel pull-throughs. WIFI was decent. This RV park can be underwater when the Mississippi runs over its bank, so check ahead of time. We did not have any problems with the utilities. We stayed in a 36 ft 5th wheel, 50 amp. Would definitely return.

Hot muddy mess! Now The front office did mention that the site flooded a week prior and so to please excuse the cleanup.

The campground itself is uniquely situated right along the Mississippi so watching river barges is neat. However some of the barges are quite loud. Walking the dog after the rain was no fun as mud was everywhere. The drive into the campground felt like driving around the NJ turnpike with tanker fields and terminals everywhere. Then, you drive down a long dirt road that makes you question if it's too late to turn around.

The 1 by the river has 2 washers and 2 dryers. The larger one closer to the office 5 or 6 washers and 5 or 6 dryers. They're large front loading, very clean and you can't beat free.The sites themselves are a mixture of some gravel and some on a pad. Spring for the pad river view sites as this place gets extremely wet during any kind of rain and has really bad drainage so it's worth it to have the pad. The nearby neighborhood is not nice at all. There's lots of run down trailers and when you're driving up to the park through the sketchy neighborhood you're going to question your judgement for being here but once you get to the park it's nice.Check out Beale St in Memphis for some fun shops and restaurants. Graceland is also fun.Cell was great. ATT and Verizon were both over 20d/l without a booster. Didn't try T mobile. The park free wifi was good enough for browsing.No cable but OTA worked fine.Walking for dogs was fine except like I said before, any rain and this place is a swamp.There is a walking trail around the campground which we didn't use due to the mud/swamp situation. Staff was responsive and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and single rooms with showers.

first thing you will notice is the abundance of open space and the tree houses. I chose to not sit on the river bank, because the cost was close to $400/wk. I wish I could have afforded it, but in exchange I had no neighbors and my windows caught all the sunshine. There are 2 small lakes on the property and 2 bath/laundry rooms.

I wish I could have afforded it, but in exchange I had no neighbors and my windows caught all the sunshine. There are 2 small lakes on the property and 2 bath/laundry rooms. The laundry is free and the machines are in great shape! There is a gravel trail system just off the main road that you can safely walk your 4 legged kids, but you must take a 40 min drive to let them have a real treat. There is a 120 acre off leash park with lakes, fields and forests called Shelby Farms (http://www.shelbyfarmspark.org/for-dogs) that we drove to daily. I am in awe over the generosity of this community to allocate so much near urban land for pure recreational fun for dogs and humans. It might seem out of the way, but coordinated my runs to Costco, Whole Foods and Walmart since they are all less than 5 - 10 min from Shelby Farms. Thank you Memphis!!ok, back to the rv park, it is a treat to watch the barges and they do operate frequently. Unfortunately, a tug sank while I was here and so 2 days of search/rescue and recovery was also part of the show. My understanding is they never recovered the bodies. A train can be heard every once in a while, but nothing worth really mentioning. The staff are super kind. They pickup your garbage throughout the day and the roads/sites are plenty wide for larger rigs. There is a Walmart, Grocery store, liquor store within 10 min drive... but otherwise not much nearby. Actually the neighboring community looks like it is in economic trouble.As for cellular service: the park has free wifi and it is functional for streaming sometimes. tmobile was seldom good for even internet searches. verizon was good for streaming. Here are the test results (ping, download, upload).rv park (43, 5Mbps, <1Mbps)tmobile (43, 5Mbps, 4Mbps)verizon w/o mimo (17, 9Mbps, 8Mbps)

Sites were a decent size, there were several giant open fields and even some "trails" mowed through grassy or wooded areas, great for longer dog walks. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, from the office to the lawnmowers. We were able to receive both UPS/Fedex packages and US mail at the campground, which was very convenient. There was a fair bit of ambient noise throughout our stay, from frequent train horns, to river barge engines, to some loud background hum from a nearby factory. None were loud enough to bother us while inside. Speaking of inside, that's where we were during most of our stay, since it was August with hot and humid weather and tons of flying insects. The campground WiFi was unusably slow most of the time. Our Verizon and AT&T hotspots each had two signal bars and had OK speeds, but were not fast. Our booster didn't help. If you like BBQ, you must go to William's BBQ a mile or two away and get the chopped pork sandwich! We'd be happy to stay here again, but hopefully not in hot and humid August next time.

Rather strange route to get here. You pass through a rundown part of town, cross over railroad tracks, and dive down a hill.

You pass through a rundown part of town, cross over railroad tracks, and dive down a hill. It's not apparent that you are heading in the right direction but eventually you see the entrance to the park. We waited a few minutes for someone to come over to the office as they were running around the campground. They have flooding problems, and there are markings on some buildings noting flood levels. And, the website will indicate whether they are closed or not due to flooding. There is even a link to check the river stage. There are tons of warnings regarding bugs and other nefarious creatures. Guess we lucked out due to the time of year we were there as we had no problems. Roads are gravel and dusty. There are quite a few seasonal sites but they are fairly neat and tidy. It's a pretty large park with a mixed bag of sites. Some sites are really nice and level while others are cracked and not so level. There are trees in some loops but not in others. We could not get the WII FI to work. Satellite with Directv worked fine as did Verizon. It was fairly quiet in spite of the Fed Ex airport right across the river with near constant activity. Many sites are right on the river and others have a fairly clear view. It's fun to watch the tug boats and small freighters. It's a bit of a hike for one night but it might be interesting to hang around for a few days.

Stayed here 4 nights. Loved watching the barges going by. Loved that the older section of the campground had trees. The campground restrooms could use a refresh, but they were adequate and private. Access to the city was easy, about ten minutes. Liked the fact that it felt like it was off the beaten path.

Stayed here passing through Memphis. Loved the boat traffic passing. Level sites, didn't even have to use any leveling blocks.

Wanted to add that half of the park was just passing through for the night. This is an excellent option for passing through. We've heard, read and seen that Memphis is a rough area. This park is out of the way and safe. What I loved was that it was easy to call ahead and reserve a spot when we were only an hour away.

Keep in mind that at 4:00, we snagged the last site available and it did fill up. The office closes at 5:00. Half of the park pulled out very quietly this morning to hit the road. If you have kids...read Mark Twain and watch the barge traffic on the mighty Mississippi.

This is just a really cute RV park along the banks of the Mississippi. We snagged the one and only back-in site that is down in the waterfront loop, although that wasn't hard as there was plenty of availability on the Friday in January that we visited. The folks running the park were unbelievably kind and made us feel very welcome. ...moreThis is just a really cute RV park along the banks of the Mississippi. We snagged the one and only back-in site that is down in the waterfront loop, although that wasn't hard as there was plenty of availability on the Friday in January that we visited. The folks running the park were unbelievably kind and made us feel very welcome. We were able to get an Uber from the RV park to Beale St for around $15.The free laundry is even better than we could've imagined. There is a little building out in the center of the riverside loop that had two nearly brand new washers and matching dryers.The passing river cargo traffic can be either a noisy nuisance or a fun bonus, depending on your outlook.

Stayed one night. Unisex bath/shower rooms were dated, but clean and private. Had a spot right by the Mississippi River. Temperature dropped below freezing but the bath/shower room was nice and toasty. Would like to see what it looks like in the summer.

I can see why so many others rated this as a 5-star park. It's right on the Arkansas river, spacious sites, quality hookups, free laundry, usable wifi and friendly stay, all for $35 per night.

It's right on the Arkansas river, spacious sites, quality hookups, free laundry, usable wifi and friendly stay, all for $35 per night. Fun to watch the ships pass on the river from your campsite. Not many downsides to this campground, although I suppose if you're expecting to swim (you can't here) don't like the sound of passing trains (you can hear them) or are overly concerned about mucky smells from the river you might think twice about staying here, but in all honesty the good VASTLY outweighs the bad.Our site (51) was a pullthrough and it looks like only a handful of the sites aren't, so really each to get in and out of. Picnic table and tree at each site. Our pad was slightly uneven (used leveling blocks to compensate) but we could have easily done without.This park makes a point to tell people that they are occasionally flooded due to proximity to the river and ask that you call ahead of time to make sure they are open. Typically flooding happens in the spring, and since we were here in December it wasn't a concern for us.The best thing about this park is views... most, if not all sites, have a clear view of the river and you can walk to it within 30 seconds to 1 minutes from any campsite. Lots of benches along the river to site and watch the boats go by (which my son loved) or just enjoy the scenery. We will definitely be back!

Easy access to Memphis, downtown right across the bridge. The RV sites along the river are great and each has a tree for a little shade level with full hook ups.

Management is nice. FREE laundry was a bonus. Wifi worked well most of the time (although the park was only 10% full). OTA television worked fine. No playgrounds for kids. The river is the real attraction. We would stay here again, definitely. NOTE: This campground does flood on occasion and closes until things dry out. That is because it is located between the levee and the river. So if you are in doubt about the Mississippi's water level, I would call the campground to make sure they are open. Their restrooms and office are on wheels so they can be moved to higher ground!

This was a very nice park and experience. We were running late for check in (6:00PM), and were surprised that they called us to verify we were still coming and ETA so that they could wait for us.

Upon arrival, we were greeted and guided to our site by a nice man that helped me pull the trailer to line up with the hookups.Everything here worked great at the site, we did not use the laundry or any facilities, but the park was quiet and provided a great view of the river.The provided wifi worked incredibly well with my external antenna, but I was also getting good signal inside the Airstream (which is unusual) directly to my phone and laptop. We used their Comcast internet for work and entertainment all week without any issues at all, and regularly pulled 20+/20+ on speedtest.net.

Several sites sit with full river view. Sites are long pull thru gravel or concrete. While the sites are fairly close together, the angle of the sites gives each a larger area for sitting outside in the front of the RV. The park says they have WiFi but we couldn't get it to work. The laundry is free and has five washers and six dryers. The office personel are very friendly and accommodating. We were provided with tourist information and coupons for Memphis. You are guided to your site. There is a newer area that was developed for fifth wheels that have you pulling in with the rear window facing the river for the view. The park does flood. Their website posts the river's rise, as does a sign outside the office, and will evacuate before the river reaches flood stage. There are train tracks near but there are very few trains and they didn't disturb us at all.

We spent two nights in a waterfront gravel site with our 38' motorhome. Watching the barges is kind of addicting, it is amazing how large they are. Being here in February, there weren't many other campers in the area. Laundry is FREE - we definitely took advantage of that.

Watching the barges is kind of addicting, it is amazing how large they are. Being here in February, there weren't many other campers in the area. Laundry is FREE - we definitely took advantage of that. You might hear the barges at night, and you'll definitely hear the train, but it was only once per night. The drive out there can feel sketchy if its your first time visiting the city, but don't let it concern you. Since we visit Memphis frequently, we are kind of used to it. We've never met nicer people than in Memphis, and we love the city. The site was safe and the owners are friendly. Wifi signal would drop every so often. But, we only used it in the evenings. We got quite a few television channels with the digital signal. The site is pet friendly, and there's a lot of area to walk your dog around. They even told us to bring our dog into their office, where they had dog biscuits for their canine guests.Enjoy the Mississippi! If you're going into Memphis and love barbecue, check out Marlowe's restaurant near Graceland.

West Memphis is a little rough around the edges, but the C/G is by itself, remote from WM and delightful on the River. Bis sites, lots of room, free laundry and just off the river bridge and major highways. No noise.We arrived running from a major storm so everything was flooded in the C/G. Wind, standing water and we were glad to ...moreWest Memphis is a little rough around the edges, but the C/G is by itself, remote from WM and delightful on the River. Bis sites, lots of room, free laundry and just off the river bridge and major highways. No noise.We arrived running from a major storm so everything was flooded in the C/G. Wind, standing water and we were glad to be where we were. Lots of barge traffic even in bad rain. I'm sure this is a fun place to be when the weather is nice. Neighbors had been here for a week and they couldn't say enough about the place.

We had a waterfront site right along the banks of the Mississippi River and watched barges all day and night long. The park is excellently maintained with great hiking trails, and a super impressive FREE laundry room. They also have super cute tree houses built throughout for great views, and even socializing with friends.
