still weighing it out as the wife is pushing back
(she is from East of Memphis in Cordova and concerned about the W Mem area). but trying to talk her into it
(soon as I do you know the orbital appliance will be smacked with tootsie rolls every day we are there !)

Also aware of the flooding possibility from a previous poster saying something like the bath houses are trailers so they can be pulled out when it floods :)

Wonder about mosquitos in mid October ?!? (as here in dfw they are having West nile sightings all over the place!)

Their website has a special section for the flood alerts. I didn't know and pulled in after the Mississippi rose up and over their entire CG. They are professionals there and they are very accustomed to the park flooding. The owners were out in full force power washing off all the concrete pads. They set me up in back and I swear they kept coming back to me to tell me it would only be a few more minutes more before I could move up to the front row. Real nice people.

I was not aware of W.Memphis, I found out all on my own and it sure was a shock. You can get in and out of the CG without going thru those areas. I used my GPS which is what got me in trouble coming in....I left the CG with the Mgr's direction, much nicer trip!:C

X4 (or 5 or 6 or something) on Tom Sawyer. Great fun watching the towboats go by at night just yards from the campsite.

EZ DAZE rv park is just up road from me. Very nice park and pretty new, Get off Church Rd exit on I55 and follow signs.

2 hours of Memphis. Try a COE or TVA park

EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven MS is nice. Read reviews on wwww.rvparkreviews.com for Southaven MS.

We had no trouble getting in and out of Memphis from here.
Plenty of fuel location right close. Shopping just a few miles west of the CG.

When we were there. We enjoyed watching the river boats day and night.

I stopped for the night and stayed a week! Took tons of pictures day and night of the barges, they were incredible.

Just be careful HOW you drive in. One of the directions takes you thru a not very safe area of town. AND you have to check their flood page before heading out. The CG closes when the good ole Mississippi raises.:W

If you don't mind staying at a casino, I'd look into Tunica, Ms. (we didn't RV back then).

I lived in Memphis for 5 years. Holler at me if you need any help regarding the town.
