Graceland RV Park & Campground

Calling several times - no chance to make a reservation (called on 12. and 13. June) there is none responding to my calls!
Must be an extraordinary place no e-mail, no homepage on Roadtrippers’s!

The campground itself is great! It is very clean; the staff was extremely nice, and we had absolutely no issues with their power and sewer system. The sights are what you would find in a normal tourist area they are a bit tight, but you still had room to put out your awning out and sit outside. The campground and Graceland are directly next to each other, well within a comfortable walking distance making it feel like they are part of the same attraction. Once in the campground you are surrounded by locked fences with a guard at the entrance. The area around the campground was sketchy to say the least. I would not recommend leaving the area on foot in the evening. The closest Walmart made you feel like you had to be on guard the entire time even during the day. (In the parking lot of Walmart with the camper a very nice man questioned if this was going to be a parking lot stop over and strongly recommended against it.) This is a campground you must know that you are either in the campground or leaving out of the area. Don’t go exploring.

Our family didn't have but just one night here on our long trip, but I wish we would have! It's literally in the center of everything!!!! The park is gorgeous, staff is friendly, bathrooms and showers are sparkly clean. We highly recommend you call the pink limo at Marlowe's to pick you up for free and take you to the restaurant. They'll even take you back for free! The food there was incredible. We all had a food coma after eating LOL. And their drinks are strong!

Considering this park is right in the middle of town and literally across the street from Graceland it is really really nice. There's a beautiful wooded area connected to the park or you can walk your dog or let the kids run around and burn off some steam. The good Sam rates are under $50 a night which I felt was a bargain considering the convenient location. It's only five or 6 miles from here down to Beale Street and the central part of Memphis. I've stayed here two times and would definitely recommend it for your Memphis visit.

Nice park, just across the street from Graceland on Elvis Presley Blvd. Nice amenities, quiet, friendly staff. Offers a late check-out for those who need a couple more hours to see Graceland! Close to Marlow's Restaurant - home of the Pink Pig and great BBQ.

We stayed in April 2017. The RV park is easy enough to get to, right off Elvis Presley Blvd. Arrived about 3pm, checked in, and were touring Graceland by 4pm. The hosts at check-in were knowledgeable and pleasant. I don't think we used any of the facilities. It was a typical city RV park- everyone fit tightly against each other. We were just there for Graceland and for one night- I wouldn't have reason to stay here longer. There is a path that leads right into the Graceland tour area from the RV park.

We took the house and airplane tour. You have to load onto a shuttle which drives you across the busy street up to Graceland. After the tour, we wanted to go to Beale Street for dinner and music. One tip...there is a $10. shuttle to Beale Street that leaves from the hotel across the street, The Guesthouse at Graceland. Only caveat is that you need to walk yourself over there earlier in the day to buy your shuttle ticket because come 5pm if you walk over there, chances are it's sold out. We were able to get a return shuttle ticket so we just split a cab with another couple to get over to Beale St., then caught the shuttle back at night. Easy.

Our favorite thing about this RV park is the proximity to Graceland. It was nice being so close to one of our two Memphis destinations. One night in Memphis was enough for us. Beale Street is really fun to see. Lots of restaurants and great food. Check out the ducks at the Peabody Hotel if your timing is right.

We camped here for the convenience to Graceland and besides the friendly employees, that was really the only good feature of this park. We were very disappointed with the accommodations, especially for the price, and would not recommend staying here.

Value:
We figured that the $47/night (a discounted Good Sam rate) would we worthwhile to save time and parking visiting Graceland. But the site quality was so poor, the value was terrible.

The park was small (which was a positive) but the sites were also too close to each other. And a number of the RV spaces, including ours, are right next to the cabins. This wouldn't necessarily be a problem except for we had to deal with very noisy cabin inhabitants that caused us to call security one night. During the day, we had to deal with the constant noise of the teardown of the adjacent Heartbreak Hotel.

The sites are gravel and very poorly set-up to handle any type of rain. After a half day of rain, there was a couple inches of standing water on the back part of our site and our entire site was soaked. The positioning of the electrical box and the standing water also caused our 30amp cable to be in four inches of water- yikes!

Dog-Friendly:
We appreciated the good-sized green area to walk our dog. Unfortunately, there was no place to take our dog off-leash. From the number of dogs we saw at the park, it would be beneficial to have an off-leash area.

Runner's and Biker's Rave:
The sidewalk on Elvis Presley Blvd where the park is located is spotty and broken in spots so it's tricky to run or bike in the area unless you're very watchful of traffic. There's no bike lanes anywhere near the park which is also different than most areas we've stayed in.

Overall, this was one of the highest cost parks we've stayed at in our travels across the country and provided the lowest value for the money.

April 9-11, 2018

We stayed at this RV Park and loved that it was right across the street from Graceland and all the other Elvis buildings. We were parked in slot #70 which was just next to the fence where you go and take the bus to Graceland. A number of people walked right beside our camper going to and from the site. Our major complaint was the 3 story building next door was being torn down which was only about 70 yards away from us. They started construction before 8am and continued all day so the noise was a nuance. We didn't know this was happening before we went there. We still would have stayed there though for the convenience. It was easy to access and get into and out of the RV park. We took the bus tour of Memphis and enjoyed that and then stayed to eat at BB Kings place on Beale street. The BBQ was fantastic and the music though very loud was really good. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the RV Park and also the city of Memphis.

Stayed here at the end of October 2018, and there wasn't much about this trip that went right for us. The city roads around the park are in terrible shape and make for dangerous towing. I know the campground can't help that, but that alone would make me reconsider ever coming here again. The sites are pretty tight to maneuver through, especially if you have a big rig. Our pull-thru site required some maneuvering to get in and out with our 35' 5th wheel and long-bed truck. And then there wasn't much space left for parking the truck. The gravel ground quickly turned to mud with some rain, and was a complete mess. The park itself is not much to look at, with few amenities. The WiFi was practically unusable, and when I brought it up to the front desk, they just gave me a pre-printed slip with a phone number to call "support". I know campgrounds try to shirk responsibility for their WiFi by delegating that to an outside company, but that doesn't make my experience enjoyable. For $47/night I expected way better.

Our first visit, found this park to be very nice, well kept and convenient to everything Elvis.
Trash pickup daily, electric, water, sewer and WiFi worked as expected. Staff was friendly, bath house clean and security on duty. Site was spacious enough, with picnic table. we were in a 38 foot coach. Would definitely stay here again.
