Seriously, Tom Sawyer is a great, well run park.

Just make sure you study a recent satellite photo/ map of the approaches to the I-40 or I-55 bridges and check both the Arkansas and the Tennessee highway departments web sites for current construction information.

^^That's the truth. I somehow got on the wrong road after crossing the river. It worked out OK though.
If you look on Google satellite, you can see it flooded.
Shady Pines RV Park just west of Texarkana makes a good first night stopover from Houston.

Thanks for all the replies folks. Have reservations there for a night while on the road at Thanksgiving. Sounds like a very interesting place..

Stay safe !

Have stayed there a couple of times. Nice level pads and right on the Missippipi River

I've stayed at the Tom Sawyer RV park several times over the years. It's nice, has full hook-ups.

The laundry rooms are probably 15 ft. up in the air because of the Spring flooding that seems to come every year. That whole park will be under 10 ft. plus of water for 6-8 weeks. But, they clean it all out and start over every year!

Safe travels,

Yep, full hook ups. Just be sure to check the river condition before you make final plans. Thom Sawyer is INSIDE the levy, so when the river is up, it floods. We've been there a number of times and will go back any time it's a convenient stop.

Is Tom Sawyer's full hookups?

It's a pretty decent park. We stayed there a few years ago.
There's a similar RV park in Vidalia Louisiana, across from Natchez..Riverview RV Park. Vidalia would make a good overnight on the way to West Memphis.
