Boondocking near Memphis?

[shayerk]

Can anyone recommend a good place for an overnight stop near Memphis? Just need a place to pull off the road, sleep and get right back on the road in the morning. Maybe grab a bite to eat.

Be VERY careful where you pick to stay in Memphis. And stay way away from West Memphis.

Use this to give you somewhat of an idea what the area is like where you do decide to stay. And stay safe. IMHO I would push on a few miles more and not boondock anywhere in Memphis.

Not an end all be all link for where to stay safely but it sure will let you know where NOT to stay!

South of there is a place called Resorts Casino.

Just find a Walmart, Pilot or Cracker Barrel and ask if they allow over night parking. Most are friendly but local ordinance may prohibit it. My advice is to stay outside of Memphis/West Memphis because it can be a dangerous place after dark. Lots of homeless and druggies.
