This is a wonderful campground located on the ‘wrong side of the levee’ along the banks of the Mississippi River - it does close occasionally due to flooding. It’s a wonderful place to sit and watch the traffic go by.

This one is six barges long by three wide making his way upriver, empty. ( the average barge is 200 feet long by 35 wide making this one 1200 feet long by 105 feet wide, minus the ‘pusher boat’. Which makes it bigger then the ore ships we saw earlier this year on the Great Lakes ) Capacity when full is 1,530 tons, each! Roughly half the cargo carried by these barges is grain coming from ‘up north’ to the port in southern Louisiana!

Top Eastern Arkansas Hotel Reviews

Memphis Vitality Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing, all listed up above "

Big Cypress Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super friendly throughout the entire place. We have an interior facing room which was so awesome. Hearing them close the store every night was cool. The bowling alley was better busy so definitely make reservations ahead of time. All hotel guests get a free express pass to the overlook which was a nice perk. The store is massive! One minute you're looking at clothing, then alligators, then boats, then fish. The place is filled with really great details to make you feel like you're emersed in an actual swamp. We stayed 3 nights which was perfect to mosey around the property and have 1 day throughout Memphis. Would definitely recommend!"

The Stallion

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was superb and the communication was top tier from the property. They also continued to provide recommendations on things to do locally, including events that’ll be happening during our stay. Instructions are very clear which I love and the amenities really catered to our needs. I will definitely be booking The Stallion again soon. Thanks again!"
