Tom Sawyer RV Park offers a convenient overnight stop with river views, particularly enjoyable for watching barges. While the park provides spacious sites and basic amenities, some facilities, like the bathrooms, require attention. It’s a solid choice for travelers on the road seeking a quick and affordable place to stay near the Mississippi River.

The location is awesome. The view is also awesome. Looking out at the Mississippi with all the boats passing by, but the park sucks. yes, a dust ball. we are on a 50 amp service in the breaker keeps tripping at 27 A on each leg. not reliable at all I would not recommend this park even if the view is awesome. and yes, we’ve had 18 years of ownership of a RV park and know the difference.

????? Tom Sawyer’s RV Park was an awesome place to stay! The campground was clean, peaceful, and right along the Mississippi River with really nice views. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the spots were spacious and easy to get into. It was a relaxing stop and a great experience overall. Would definitely stay here again!

Tom Sawyer's RV Park is proof that a campground doesn't need to be fancy to be fantastic. The sites are relatively close together and nothing to write home about - but they're level, functional, and full hookup with 30/50 amp, which checks all the boxes. The staff is friendly and the place is well maintained. That's the baseline. The stars of the show are the Mississippi River views and - hold onto your laundry detergent - free laundry facilities with newer machines that actually work. When you're living on the road full time, free laundry that functions properly isn't just a nice perk, it's practically a standing ovation moment. This place delivers on both counts. The name is no accident - Tom Sawyer's sits right on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi in West Memphis, Arkansas, just across the bridge from Memphis, Tennessee. Watching the massive barges and tugboats push their way up and down the river is genuinely mesmerizing - the kind of slow, powerful spectacle that has you parked in a camp chair far longer than you planned. And when you're ready to actually leave the chair, Memphis is only about 15 minutes away - making this a perfect launching point for Beale Street, Graceland, the Peabody ducks, the Bass Pro Pyramid, or whatever else the city has on offer. Fair warning on the approach - the drive in winds through an industrial area that can look a little sketchy, but push through it. The park itself is a completely different world once you arrive. Definitely coming back.

This is a no frills park but close to Memphis. Easy drive to Graceland and The Pyramid (BassPro Shop). There are a lot of barges on the river - fun to see how big some are. You can also get mail/pkgs. Staff is friendly. Laundry is free. Restroom/shower is ok.....needs a little cleaning/update.

Great for a one night. We had a large pull through site which was wonderful as we did not have to unhook car. Free laundry so I did a load of wash and dry. Enjoyed watching the barges going down the Mississippi River. We would definitely stay again!

This RV park had a beautiful view on the Mississippi River. We were lucky that a front row spot was available. We were just there for a night, but I would love to come back and stay awhile and relax. The sites were concrete pull through pads, which were easy to level. Getting to watch the barges sail on through was fun to see. There was plenty of space between rv sites. The only downside was the bathrooms were outdated and not sealed properly, so bugs would fly in when you are in there. We didn't use the laundry while there. I believe it was a few dollars per load. Great spot when traveling through and it's outside of the main town. A quick drive across to the Tennessee side for food.

No frills campground. Good for overnight stays. Lady that takes reservations over the phone is pleasant, quick and to the point. Easy in and out. Not crazy about the industrial backdrop or never ending barge traffic but you did choose to stay on the almighty Mississippi so theres that. However the river is nice and the sunrises are quite beautiful. Bath/shower is a concrete room painted in black BUT shower stall, toilet, sink, fixtures, etc very squeaky clean and they cleaned again that morning. Only very odd and annoying aspect was that there are no campfires allowed at the campground ?. Other than that, it did what it needed with ease.

Decent RV campground for an overnight stopover in December. We were able to make a reservation while en route. We were right on the Mississippi river in a spacious pull through site. It was supposed to be concrete, but was in pretty rough shape. Even so, it was fairly level. The entrance was run down and the sign was in great need of some TLC. It was fun watching the barges go by and we saw the most beautiful sunset. Wifi was non functional, but it was not a big deal since t mobile worked just fine for connectivity. We were able to pick up a few decent TV stations. Overall, it's a good place to stay for an overnight stop with nearby gas/diesel.

This is a very nice place with a scenic view of the Mississippi. The staff was very polite and we were grateful to have a concrete pad right there on the river. The sites are spacious with power, water, and sewer. The only downside, and it's minor, is the bath house. It was in desperate need of updating and cleaning. I know most people use the shower in their camper. Unfortunately I feel like Buddy the Elf in our Sprinter chassis shower so I value a nice clean full size shower option. If that were a non-issue, I would give this place five stars all day.
