Home to Elvis Presley’s Graceland, the Mud Island River Park and the National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis is the second largest city in the state of Tennessee. While the city itself offers many cultural events and attractions, visitors looking to experience the surrounding countryside can find several cabin accommodations in the forested wetlands along the mighty Mississippi River.
For the full Elvis experience, visitors can book a cabin just a short walk from the King of Rock’s former home at Memphis-Graceland RV Park and Campground. The spare furnishings of these one-room camping cabins include only a double bed, bunk beds, one table and a bench. Guests of the campground also have access to the facility’s playground, outdoor swimming pool, free wireless Internet access and a camping store selling various groceries, camping supplies and souvenirs.

Just 15 minutes from Memphis, across the Mississippi River in Arkansas, the Memphis KOA campground has KOA Kamping Kabins available for rent. Aside from providing a solid roof and walls, these small cabins offer few other amenities; guests will need to supply their own sleeping bags, bed linens, towels and toiletries. The grounds themselves aren’t lacking in facilities, as visitors have access to free Wi-Fi, a pet playground, an outdoor swimming pool, a large clubhouse, laundry facilities and a fully stocked KOA Camp Store.
