Awarded to KOAs that meet exceptional quality standards and are recognized by their guests for outstanding service.
The tang of barbecue, the beat of the blues, the home of the King, the timeless rhythm of the river-what's not to love in Memphis?
The tang of barbecue, the beat of the blues, the home of the King, the timeless rhythm of the river-what's not to love in Memphis? This KOA is just 15 minutes from the excitement and buzz of Beale Street, Home of the Blues. Make your pilgrimage to Elvis Presley's Graceland to tour his home and his private jet, the Lisa Marie. Enjoy Mud Island River Park's replica of the Mighty Mississippi. Visit Sun Record Company, the National Civil Rights Museum, the Rock ‘n' Soul Museum and the famous Marching Ducks at the Peabody Hotel. Cruise the Mississippi aboard a riverboat. This KOA's great location offers easy on/off access at I-55 Exit 14; I-40 is just 7 miles south of the campground. Pull through one of the long RV sites and relax in the shade. Take a dip in the pool and throw a few horseshoes. You'll love the area as much as Elvis did!
