  • Meeman-Shelby Forest state park is north, the sites around Graceland are ok but not in the best of areas. So Tom Sawyers or the Agra Center is good and there is a I-40 east campground at exit 20 the lakeland exit its an old KOA but is mostly park models but they do have sites.
    Good luck
  • We stayed at a State Park north of Memphis when our Sister was in the Med. It seemed like a safe place to stay. I cant remember the name of it offhand though!
  • Tom Sawyers is a great place but be sure to call ahead to make sure they are not flooded. Also the Agra Center RV park is ok but its really an open field with hook ups but it has lots of food near by and lots of events going on at the center as well like a flea market and other shows. have fun at the zoo it is a great place to visit.
  • The above, nice campground on the banks of the Mississippi River.
