Tom Sawyer’s RV Park

As previous reviews state it’s a little out of the way, but the river is worth it and the people are very nice! There is even trash pickup which is a nice bonus! Picnic tables at every site that was also much appreciated. Large grassy areas to walk your dogs. Will definitely stay here again! :)

A hidden gem for sure! You wouldnt know it was there just by looking from outside the main road. I came across this park via a Google search as I was planning a trip through 7 states for our family. I thought it would be neat to stay right on the river, and it was! Sunsets, toad catching, lots of space for my girls to ride their bikes, fishing and watching in amazement as huge barges floated by.
The staff as so kind. Everyone was very friendly and quiet. We enjoyed the Memphis Zoo as well. The zoo is a MUST!
We will be back!

Based on the views of the river I rated this as a four. Lovely spot when you get here. And most spots are easy pull throughs.
Otherwise it would be a three. Some spots are cement pads, many are gravel. Picnic tables are old with warped wood. The wifi is very hit or miss. No cable. Since the park across the river from Memphis, you can get main local channels.

Stayed ⁵⁄₂ — 5÷4÷2016. Nice park. Short distance to Memphis TN. Loved watching the barge activity on the mighty Mississippi. Camp sites were spacious and folks that worked there very friendly. Tip: I did laundry in the room by sites but if you go up by the check in area there is another that has 6 new front loaders. You will have to go up stairs but it will be worth it. Wish I had known sooner. we’re in a class A towing an HHR. Enjoy your stay

Stopped here on a cross country trip. Chose Tom Sawyer’s because of reviews on other sites. Was a little nervous on the drive off of I-​40, but stopped worrying when we reached the office and saw the awesome view of the Mississippi River. We ended up staying longer than we planned. Staff was great, site was level and ample size. We had experience a blowout the day before and had no water to our shower, and the bathrooms and shower house were great! Price was very reasonable for the area as well. We are already talking about stopping here next year!

Super friendly staff. Great location and beautiful view. Only spent one night there passing through but would definitely camp there again. Would highly recommend river front campsite.

We stumbled upon this campground a few months ago while visiting Memphis. We knew we would be back this month in our RV so we checked it out. We’re very impressed with the initial drive through. Staff was friendly an let us look around. Made easy reservations by phone an came back first weekend in December.
We didn’t get there until after 7pm but the staff called checking on us an to tell us about the after hours check in. We got there found our envelope with nice directions to our site no problem.
Level concrete pull through pads were great. Ours was just 75 – 100 or so feet from the River bank. Benches riverside proved to have awesome views of the mighty Mississippi River.
I was amazed at the sunrise view the next morning. Our stay was only 2 nights an I did not use any of the other services or facilities but saw other campers doing so.
Grounds were very well maintained an the staff were friendly. I will be finding another excuse to stay here again. Good Sam discounts on top of reasonable rates.
15 – 20 minute drive to downtown Memphis you can’t beat that!

Love it! Don’t be discouraged by the drive in, past the industrial area.
The river view is amazing. The park has benches along the rivers edge so you can set, relax and watch the river traffic go by. Barges of all sizes, speed boats, etc. It’s not a steady flow of boats, there is just enough to make it interesting.
This park is safe and everyone is VERY friendly and helpful. We needed a late check out, it was no problem. Free laundry.
If we pass this way again we will stay here.

Right on the mighty Mississippi.
Concrete pads would be nice, but I like rustic every now and again.
The pull through slots were long enough for a 42 foot motorhome towing a 25 foot trailer. Not everybody can say that.

It is a wonderful RV camp that is kept up very well and it’s really fun to watch the barges go by. The only negative is that the owner needs to upgrade the Wi-​Fi because we had no Wi-​Fi as promised. The laundry is free and I have never seen that before. Emie & her husband Who take care of the park are great and they even helped us after hours not only getting into our pull through but also with an electrical problem we had. We would rate them five stars BUT the only minus was the lack of Wi-​Fi

This place is off the beaten path, and we had to drive through a slightly scary neighborhood to get there, but the campgrounds were quite lovely and felt very safe. When we checked in, one of the employees led us to our spot and made sure we were okay with it. Employees were constantly driving around the park, keeping up with security and cleanliness.
There are only 2 bathrooms, but, since most campers had RVs, it wasn’t a big deal at all. The bathrooms were Nice, clean, air conditioned, and well-​maintained.
The view of the Mississippi River is beautiful, with benches along the bank to sit on while you enjoy the view.
We were tent camping. They don’t have specific sites for tents — just 2 big open areas, and you decide where to set up your tent. It was beautiful, shady, and green (watch for ant piles). One problem, though — for that big, open space that could’ve held around at least 10 tents, there was only ONE picnic table. They obviously don’t many tent campers, and it worked out okay, as we were the only tent. So, not a huge deal.
You can hear trains all night long, but probably not a big deal if you’re in an RV.
Would we stay here again??? Yeap.

Off the beaten path just a bit. Really nice place RIGHT on the Mississippi River, so you have a great view of barges going up and down river all day. Once inside, they personally escort each RV back to their spot, so there is no chance of getting confused on where to go. There is free laundry on premises, and plenty of places to run/​walk the dog. Sights were VERY LONG and very level, and we were able to keep our 26′ trailer attached the whole time.
There are three distinct sections in this campground, therefore, all three have very nice views of the River. Strongly recommend Marlows Restaurant in Memphis for BBQ. Excellent food (see review).

We were a little nervous on the drive in. In the industrial area of West Memphis, AR. After we made our turn off the main road though, we were in a forested area right on the river.
Staff was wonderful and accommodating.
Bathroom/​laundry is actually on a trailer, (so they can move it in case of flooding). Free laundry always a plus, first time we have experienced this. Bathrooms spotless, I swear they cleaned after every use.
Loved the view of the river. Spent hours watching the barges go up and down.
Only negative: (Environment not RV Park) Our dog twice found some fire ant hills as we were walking around the lakes. We didn’t see any hills, so we were surprised when our dog started kicking her legs. Man those suckers move fast.
Spots are very spacious and done in a way that almost everyone has at least a peek a boo view of the river.

Wow! Definitely adding this to our list of best places to stay in the RV!!! It’s off the beaten path, but once you get back here, it’s worth it! Beautiful! Sit back and watch the boats travel the Mississippi River. Oh! FREE LAUNDRY IN WELL-​MAINTAINED MACHINES!

This place is awesome. The sites sit on the Mississippi River and it is beautiful to sit and watch the barges going up and down the river. The management is super helpful. The grounds are super clean. The view is just the best.

This park is right on the Mississippi River. I will say that this RV park has been wiped out a couple of times do to the river but they always bounce back. Will be back.

We have stayed here twice — once in 2009 prior to the flood and then just last month. We stayed here as a stopover on our cross country trip and were so bummed when we couldn’t stay longer. There’s something calming about waking up right on the banks of the Mississippi. The sites are huge and are concrete and level. They pick up your trash every day as well, which is nice. We love this place and feel safe. We camped here in a Class C motorhome. Just trust the directions… it’s okay. Really!

This is a great place to stay. I give it 4 stars because there is no pool and no cable TV. The lots are pull-​thru, long and spacious with full hookup. They have free laundry use
It’s nice to watch the river activity. It’s close to Memphis with lots to do.

We were really happy to find this place. It is nice out on the river side. The were lots of nice RV’s there and everyone was friendly. The approach makes you wonder what you’re getting into but the Unilocal ratings gave us confidence. If you want WiFi park close to the office.

This is an awesome park. Easy to access, HUGE sites with lots of space. You’ll find yourself sitting right on the Ol Miss watching barges pass by. Friendly helpful staff. Folks passing thru or staying a while are all relaxed, friendly & happy.
You may want to call ahead, fills up fast.
This place is a well kept secret!
