We parked in an end site with just river and well- kept lawn as our view. Security is tight, sites are level. It is as hot as Hades in July but it is the delta.........The road in is ugly but as soon as you make the turn to the park it becomes a country lane. Free laundry. We will definitely be back in the Fall. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If your a transportation buff, then this is your place. Tugboats in front of you, planes overhead and trains behind you. :) Actually, it was pretty quiet considering all the jets, trains and tugs roaming around. These sites are very wide and long. If they had Wi-Fi, I didn't know it and the signal was no where to be found. It is easy access to the CG off I-40, good wide roads getting there and safe ( despite driving around a ghetto ). The owners are very friendly and helpful. The CG itself ( the pull thru sites anyways ) are clean and have nice grassy areas next to them. The entrance and area around the office is an eye sore. It kind of reminds me of a junkyard with equipment, small buildings, sheds, etc. scattered all over in a hap hazard arrangement. Other then that, we would come back again. Its a great overnight place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Road in was challenging, not a lot of amenities. BUT - the view was tremendous (worth a 10 by itself). Have NO idea what a prior post was talking about with the drugs and prostitute area - I only saw an area that was not exactly wealthy but certainly appeared clean and not derelict. Clearly stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this campground and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wishes to visit Memphis. Beale St & the downtown attractions are less than 10 miles away & Graceland is a short 20 minute drive. There is also a Kroger grocery & WalMart a short drive away. The campground is only 3 miles off of Highways 40 & 55 and is exceptionally quiet at night - no freeway noise here. The river is very busy with tug, barge & ship traffic - watching it was a great way to spend an afternoon. The river front sites are paved & long enough to accomodate rigs that don't want to unhook their vehicles or trailers. The campground is set up in 3 loops each loop contains a bath house building that has 2 washers & 2 dryers - which are complimentary. They also allow you to wash your rig & vehicle in your camp space - a real plus for us as we are fulltimers and the washing of rigs is not usually allowed. You can also have your mail delivered here and they will bring it to your site!! Can't recommend this campground enough and we will definitely be staying here if we return to this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this park for three nights in April 2008. We stayed on the front row at the river site. This gave us a beautiful view over looking the Mississippi river and a wonderful view of the Memphis skyline at night. The site was a level pull-thru site on a long concrete pad. Definitely worth a visit. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They led you right to your spot and helped you park. Trash pickup is continuous. Anytime they are by, they pickup any trash. Level concrete pad. Kind of neat watching the tugs and barges on the river. I was told WIFI was down when I checked in. A tech was working on it and should be up in 2 hours. It was. They have two catfish ponds. Though I didn't try it, I'm told the fishing is good. I will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The campsites are ample in size, a wee bit close together, but not bad. They have a good sized cement pad with picnic table. We got snowed in and had to stay an extra day. They were accommodating in letting us stay the extra day and pay on our way out so that we didn't have to unhook the trailer. The staff showed us to our site. When we had electrical problems, they came quickly to help us figure out it was operator error. We enjoyed watching all the tugboat and barge activity. We were parked right next to the river. WiFi was exceptionally good. The TV reception (air) was good as well. The grounds were clean and well-kept. This is a good park to sightsee from if you want to go into Memphis, TN. It was only about 5 miles from town. Would definitely come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great park for 'big rigs' although I was a little uncertain on the ride in, mostly because it was already dark and the road is heavily wooded. It was such a pleasant surprise to wake up and look out on the river and watch the tugboats and barges go by. We stayed here while visiting in the Memphis area. Had a waterfront site and it was a perfect location and view. Did not use any of the facilites on site, so can't comment on those. Sites are roomy with plenty of parking for tow vehicle. Added bonus - there is an ice cream truck that comes through at night! I think the adults enjoyed chasing it down more than the kids did! We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are using a GPS it is probably a good idea to call ahead, because Andrea, or someone working in the office can give you better directions to get to the park. Coming down 8th street is creepy. (as another member posted that they almost turned around). We really enjoyed staying in this park. We were on a concrete pad, with plenty of room for our toad. They have worked on their Wi-Fi, and we didn't have any problems. We also had great satellite and antenna reception. If camping by the river in summer, we definitely recommend plenty of insect repellent. (this is a common problem all over Arkansas). We plan to return there sometime. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As mentioned, the entrance road is terrible. If we hadn't be pre-warned by your reviews, we would have turned around before staying because of their road. Once in, our stay was great on site #66 (pull-through). Beautiful setting on the river with level concrete sites. FREE laundry was a big plus since we are full-timers. We also had a nice high-speed connection on our Cingular/AT&T aircard. We would return to this park but hope they fix their entrance roads. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is directly on the Mississippi River and has made significant upgrades since our last visit two years ago. It is very big rig friendly with pull throughs that do not require unhooking the tow. Class A's are in one section with C's and 5th wheels in another. Roads and sites are gravel with grass between. Garbage is picked-up three times at day at your site. All sites point toward the River. Landscaping improvements make this a very beautiful campground. The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. There is an escort to your site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice campground. Wide, long, level, easy-to-negotiate pull-thru's with good hookups. We had a site on the river edge and enjoyed watching the river traffic. No cable, but local channels were available. However, free WIFI was terrible - slow and cut out all the time. However, the nice river location made up for it. Would return when in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a GREAT rv park. The road coming in will have you thinking "what am I getting myself into"? Suddenly the park looms up in front of you and a large smile will cross your face. It is such a beautiful setting on the shore of the Mississippi River. Set your rig up, grab a cold drink, and relax on one of the many benches that are right at waters edge. Watch the barges go by and forget all your troubles. Its the first time that we ever heard of FREE laundry. What a wonderful place. We can't wait to come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited on way west and on return trip without reservations. On trip out weather was great and was able to use the large camp sites and view the river for two night stay. On return trip, heavy rain resulted in four inches of water in the gravel, second row site. Not a big problem for a nights rest. All sites on the river bank are super big rig friendly and concrete. WiFi was too weak in our site to be effective. Will continue to use this campground when in the area. If you want a front row, I advise reservations. Campground was near capacity with all front row sites taken. Friendly staff. Better WiFi and a truck load of gravel would make this a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed this park a lot. Though we were "in the back" with a number of monthly residents, it was still clean, pleasant and quiet. We will know, next time, to select the areas out by the river. Our only issue with this park is their wi-fi access; while signal strength is great, the bandwidth was very slim. E-mail pages would take many minutes to load, if at all. But, all in all, we loved it an will likely return again as a great base for visiting Memphis. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They recently added a new section to the park. It is right on the river so we had a close-up view of the Mississippi. Our site was a long, level, paved concrete pull-thru. Beautiful! The free WiFi was not really usable in the new section - we think they need to add another antenna in that area. One negative is the entrance road - it needs serious work! We have some pictures hanging on the wall in our trailer - driving down that road was the first time they ever fell off the wall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park. We stayed in a new section. No shade, but very close to the Miss. River, you can watch the barges going up and down. The older sites have some shade. Very large spaces here. I believe they only put larger rigs here, since there are no facilities around (which we wouldn't use anyhow). Very well kept grounds and friendly and helpful staff. Convenient hook-ups. Quiet. They had 4 different WiFi hotspots, I had the best reception ever and got right on. A little far from the sites, but again, it was quiet. We would definitely come back here.

Nice view of the Mississippi, friendly staff, and directions to the park are easy to follow. WIFI is poor: I went all around the park and got no better than two weak bars, even directly under the antenna. We could not use WIFI while at this park. If you advertise WIFI, have it fully functional. Tom Sawyer did not! Only one bathroom and shower (meaning one shower and one commode) for all 80 sites. When someone is using the shower it also locks out the bathroom, and vice-versa! Somewhere close by is a huge NASCAR racing track. Check out the schedule before you go, the sound is horrible, and it went to almost ll PM that night! We stayed at Tom Sawyers due to the tremendous reviews at RV Reviews. We were disappointed and would not camp there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice park right on the Mississippi. It has easy access to downtown Memphis and also to I-55 and 40. Most sites were pull thrus with excellent shade. They are in the process of adding a lot more sites. The bathrooms look a little dirty from the outside, but they are great inside. If you stay here, try to get a site overlooking the river. It is well worth it. Overall a very nice park. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have a dually/36' high-profile fifth wheel. Our pull-through site was excellent. What a great park - the owner was lovely - enthusiastic, helpful and obviously enjoyed helping people enjoy their stay! Suggested we parked our rig the opposite way to maximise views of the Mississippi River! Beautiful views all round. Lovely walking trails around the lakes, where the grass had been cut and mowed by the owner. Free laundry. Intended to stay 1 night, but stayed 3 mights. Would definitely recommend and visit this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Right on the banks of the Mississippi River. I you stay near the river there is no shade and the WiFi is weak. Even with a high gain antenna the download speed is VERY slow due to the fact it is through a Directway satellite. There were times that a dialup would have been much faster. We would only stay again for a single overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location on the Mississippi River!! Reserve early for a river front site. It is amazing to watch the river traffic. The river front sites have a concrete pad and picnic table but little shade. It is conveniently located to Memphis and the access road is in good shape. You will be just off I-55 and I-40. I think it is worth a stop even if you are not planning on touring Memphis. (Note the Gibson Guitar Factory Tour and Sun Records Tour are must sees.) I only wish they had cable... Also the laundry facilities are truly free and very clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is a little hard to find but the view of the River once you get there is worth it. You can sit on park benches and watch barges moving up and down the Mississippi all day. The newer section of the park has concrete pads and WiFi. The older sites are shady and border woods with trails. The laundry was free for guests when we last stayed here. You will have to drop your toad to go shopping but there are two grocery stores and a Wal-Mart nearby. Also, they are very dog friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This well-managed and beautifully maintained RV park is within yards of the Mississippi River. Call in advance to reserve a front row site and watch barges as they travel up and down river (some campers might find the noise intrusive). Sites close to the river have little shade. Monthly rates are available in the older loop, set back from the river in the shade of a grove of trees. This is one of our favorite commercial campgrounds, with easy access via I-40 to the city of Memphis, TN. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here based on reviews from this website and we were not disappointed. Having camped all over the country for over 20 years we can say one thing for sure about this one...it is very unique. You are not just "near" the river, you are right on it. It is really neat to watch all the river traffic chugging up and down the river. There is certainly no road noise, but you do hear the tugboats. The office staff was very friendly and the park was very nice. Concrete pads, full hookups, and yes, a FREE laundromat. We will stay there again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We went to this park because of the reviews on this website and weren't sorry. We got to park on the bank of the river, watched the barges go up and down the river, and were totally charmed. In fact we extended our stay by one night. Didn't do a lot of sightseeing, the park was enough for us. We were welcomed by the new manager ( who'd stayed at the park for a week, went home and retired and came back to manage the park) and felt like he really meant it. Every person we talked to make us feel welcomed. And yes Virginia, there really is free laundry. I had a hard time believing it but it was true. I would definitely go back there and stay, but for a longer period of time. By the way, take exit 280 off of I-40 and it'll take you right there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This has got to be one of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed at in our almost 2 months on the road. We have a beautiful view of the Mississippi River in front and a small lake behind. The road in is a little rough, but not really a problem. The staff are extremely nice and helpful, bringing us to our site and picking up our garbage when left out by the road. The laundry is free here, a big plus. There are few shade trees which could be a problem in the warmer months and there is no propane on site. Also, no cable tv or WiFi would be a problem for those without alternatives. Some sites are gravel while others are concrete pads, most seem pretty level. There is some noise from trains and the river boats, but not to much. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Private baths and FREE laundry make it a best buy. Lots of overnighters so call for a reservation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wonderful view and easy access. The owners were great and very helpful. Only problem was that right after sunset the bugs came out! Make sure you bring bug repellent and you will be fine. The barges did not present any trouble with noise and everyone appeared to enjoy watching them. We will come back again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed here several times and plan on returning again this summer. This is the place if you are looking for a slower pace, quiet get away with a spectacular view. We highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My wife and I stayed there before and after the owners daughter graduated from Harvard. We thought it super that he gave his daughter a reward. All campers were warned of the bands comming in. All campers were invited to join in and have fun and invited to a catered BBQ. This was one of the best places we stayed on a monthlong trip. The view was fantastic. The place was clean. We liked it so much we stopped by on our way back and stayed another three days. The managers bent over backwards to keep everyone happy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed 5 nights, the park is clean, neat and has a great view of the Mississippi River. The park owner had a live band for his daughter for two nights. The last two nights we stayed. The ten o'clock quiet hour was not observed, the bands, 3 per night, got louder not quieter at 10PM. When the manager was called at 11PM the second night she said she couldn't do anything about it. I observed several drunk underage kids walking up and down the roads. We will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very unique private RV park located on the Mississippi River between the levee and the river bank. We were very fortunate in that our site was a pulltrough within 125 feet of the river. We were able to watch barge traffic on the river. This park is close to downtown Memphis with easy access by Interstate Highways. Access problems to the park are now a thing of the past with a road that parallels the levee and loops aroung the "bad" neighborhoods. A must visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is such a wonderful place,the river view is amazing. The area coming into the park is pretty rough but is to be changed soon. We love this park and have come back time and again. The Managers are seniors and are a riot. During the rain it is muddy as is the entire area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is way out of the way and kinda scary getting to it if you dont go the new back way...this place could use an overhaul for sure. Alot of seasonals and you are looked at as an invader to their area. We stayed one night and that was it...unless they clean this place up dont go! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What this RV park lacks in amenities it makes up for in the view. We were right on the river which made for a spectacular view. Most of the sites had concrete pads and were level. There were no fire rings, grills or wifi, however each site had a picnic table and grass area. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. The staff was friendly and took us to our site. The campground was very convenient to the attractions in Memphis. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park with a beautiful view of the Mississippi. We entered via the "new road" and missed all the "ghetto" type neighborhood and previously reviewed. There was lots of good "sticker free" grass for our dogs. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a view! In certain sites, The Big Muddy is literally just yards from your RV. Some
people actually complained about the noise from the passing huge river barges, but it made us feel as if we were in a modern day Samuel Clements novel. The sites were long, and adequately wide, with good volts. A recently new road to the campgound avoids a rough railroad crossing, and a rundown neighborhood. It's a very short trip back across the Mississippi River to Memphis, but again, what a view. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The drive in scared us, but once we arrived at the park, we were comfortable. I hear that there is a new way in that bypasses the bad neighbor The restrooms appeared brand new in 2003. They were spotless. The staff was very friendly. If we come through Memphis again, we will definitely come here! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a pleasant and convenient place to stay for the Memphis attractions. The new road
from the M. L King exit on either I-40 or I-55 makes it easy to avoid having to look too closely at the "ghetto's [sic]". The park is on the river side of the levee, and it looks like the buildings can be removed without a lot of stress if the place floods.
Thus, they are not grand or elegant. When we were there, the staff was friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay. The nighttime trains seem to blow their horns throughout the length of the entire town, but it wasn't too much of a problem for us. We would return happily. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The new road is open, but the campground seems rather lacking in maintanence. The grounds resemble a mud bog. The staff was rather rude and their modem hook-up is now located at a former site in the open. You are expected to plug in while balancing your laptop in your other hand and retrieving your e-mail while standing there between 2 active sites. Will not stay again. The river views are nice, but after the first several barge and tug combo's go by and you realize that they will be going by all night, with the accompanying noise the charm wears off real fast. We camped here in a camper.

While the route to the campground is through an unappealing section of town the campground has a safe feeling to it. A new highway will allow you to avoid this approach. It should be finished this fall. Sitting on the Mississippi
River is well worth the effort. We camped here in a camper.

Very hard to find. The street system is not what we are used to. We were very uneasy about the route to the park and left early the next AM. We camped here in a camper.

Beautiful view of river and decent park is ruined by the fact that you have to drive 3 miles thru horrible ghetto's with drugs and prostitution to get to the park. Next door to police training and gun range meant we were awaken at 7:00 am by a volley of gunfire. Quite unnerving. We camped here in a camper.
