Tom Sawyers RV Park

Located on the western bank of the Mississippi in West Memphis AR. Close to I-40 and I-55 exits; you do not have to drive through West Memphis proper to get to park. Short on amenities but more than offset by the view of the river and the barge traffic. Downtown Memphis TN with Beale Street, Graceland and other tourist attractions jus... more

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.... more

We stayed here to visit the Memphis area. This is a great option for visiting all of the Memphis area and you can’t beat the views of the mighty Missippippi from this park. We had the row closest to the river and it’s cool to watch the barges go up and down the river. The park also offered a small, free laundry room, which is a great f... more

This is a great location. It's only 10 min to downtown Memphis. Strong 50 amp FHU. Very cool view of the Mississippi. It's really fun to watch tug boats go by. Free laundry. There are 2 laundries. 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 loa... more

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. Th... more

We stayed for two weeks and found this to be one of the nicer private campgrounds we've stayed at. 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 we... more

Rather strange route to get here. 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 campgr... more

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 ... more
