Hi,
Approaching Memphis area for a family visit and wondering if anyone can recommend a nice laid back campground with reasonable rates? North Mississippi ok too.

We have stayed in Memphis 2 times. Last time was June 2022. Both times we stayed at the Agricenter, https://www.agricenter.org/rvpark. It is not a resort but affordable, safe and good location for visiting Memphis. The sites are close. We would stay there again if we find ourselves back there.

We've also stayed at the Agricenter several times due to work, but it's also handy as previous poster says.
Stayed once at Graceland and it was also nice.
Tom Sawyer's also seems to get good reviews, but we haven't ever stayed there.

We've stayed at Tom Sawyer on the West Shore of the Mississippi River. Short hop, skip, and jump across the Big Muddy to get into Memphis and easy access to the HUGH Bass Pro Store.

My neighbor has been there and they are actually going back there again soon. They are just waiting for the tires and brake pads from 4Wheelonline and get installed this week. He said the nightly fee is around $48 and about $5 less for Good sams discount.

We like Tom Sawyer, but grandma, who we are visiting, is scared to go over the bridge.
She thinks the police are waiting to cuff her for some reason. Lol
My family...
Southhaven seems interesting.
We’ve been to the agricenter, its fine.
Theres also a state or county park on the memphis side. Forgot the name.

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, nice, but the sites are small. Agricenter, just a big parking lot. Tom Sawyer. Southaven. I would avoid Graceland, it is not in a good part of town. (I live in a Memphis suburb.) For good Memphis BBQ, go to Fat Larry's, in Bartlett. They are not open on Sundays. Not a chain. Definitely a hole in the wall mom and pop place. (Fat Larry died a couple of years ago, but his daughter and ex-wife kept the place open.)

Lol.
Thanks Bobbo. We have been on a BBQ tour. Starting from the Carolinas all the way around each state we pass. So far our favorites are memphis and north carolina.
North carolina has two styles. Theres a yellow on the east, and a red in the west.
But im not an expert for sure. But learning.
If you need advise on crabs and crabcakes, thats me. Lol
