We had a wonderful experience at this RV park. Upon arrival the manager and office staff were very friendly and welcoming, they got me checked in and into a spot quickly. The first thing I noticed was this place is very well kept and constantly has workers driving in there golf carts making sure everything is in top top shape. The valet trash (set on curb at 10 am for pick up) was great, even though dumpster is not far and I could have taken it myself no issue. We camped in site D which is away from the highway and very quiet. The pool was awesome and cleaned often. The bathrooms were kept cool and in great condition. The hookups were easy and it was no problem pulling in our 37 foot RV. We had a mishap with our house battery and long story short our slide got stuck out and we had to wait for a repair. The office gave the names of some repair companies in their brochure, Moses RV is open on the weekend and he had some wonderful tips for us!! With our battery issue we were about an hour late pulling out, the manager wAs very kind and understanding even though the spot was reserved for tonight. I felt very taken care of. Very happy with my stay and absolutely would stay again!! Thank you guys!!
Very conveniently located off the highway and to the heart of Memphis. A quick drive and we were downtown. The staff was very friendly. The bath and showers are dated yet they are clean. Nice food options, you can get a BBQ pulled pork sandwich delivered right to your site.
Sites are close together similar to most KOAs.
Nice little campground with clean bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen area, and more. Just a warning, the interstate is loud. Jake brakes all night long!!!! Writing this review at midnight in my tent. This is probably a much less of an issue for an RV guest.
One of the nicest KOAs I have stayed in. I accidentally booked the campsite for the following night but the lady at the desk, Carolyn,was kind enough to make room for us. The showers and restrooms were very clean. It was a little loud because it was right next to the interstate, but overall a great campsite.
Most sites are shaded or partial shade. Gravel site was level (site 1). Checkin was a snap, nice staff. Pool was still open (I didn’t swim, but nice to have a choice)… There is a lot of Hwy noise, but I listen to music for sleep so it didn’t bother me. There were two trains that went by, one about 10pm, the other about 7am. They have WiFi available but I used my AT&T to watch videos.

This place should be about $40/night. I was expecting something much nicer for $70/night.

We arrived after dark (miserable traffic), and when we went to find our campsite, it wasn’t labeled. We looked at the surrounding sites and figured it out. As we began directing my father in backing into the space, the mosquitoes were so out of control that we literally jumped into the car and drove away. We didn’t actually stay there which is why I didn’t comment on cleanliness. It was noisy, as the site was right off of the highway.
Anyway, we each got at least 30 bites in the 15 minutes we were outside. We have camped a fair amount and have never had this happen before. I can’t say that it’s the campsite’s fault, but if you have bad reactions mosquitoes, you might not want to try this one.

Standard KOA Campground. We were here to explore Memphis, Tennessee and this campground met our needs. We didn't realize at first that the campground was actually located in Arkansas. It is about 20 minutes north from Memphis and is an easy on/off from the highway making this location convenient.
We stayed in the tent section, which was conveniently located close to the bath house and included electricity and water. We visited this campground at the end of February 2016, and it wasn't crowded. Despite being right next to the highway, it was pretty quiet.
The bath house was basic, but clean and offered hot showers. There was a lounge that a closed at 5:00 pm and laundry facilities that were open 24 hours. The wifi offered worked and was pretty quick.
There are a few shopping areas, including grocery stores, just down the highway on the road towards Memphis.
NOTE: The $22.02 was for electricity/water and included the KOA 10% discount.

It’s ok for a KOA. A little run down. Quite even though it’s right off the interstate. Sites close together. Gravel. Won’t have time to check it out any more than that.

The Memphis KOA carries the KOA “Journey” branding aimed at campers on the way to somewhere else and it’s fit for this campground. It’s right on top of the expressway without much around it.
We found road noise to be louder than most campgrounds near the expressway and were surprised the other two reviews mentioned it being quiet. It wasn’t unbearable or anything, but you know you’re near the road.
The bath house was very clean, the staff was clearly on top of it. The camp store is better stocked than most. The grounds themselves could use some cleanup and maintence.
