Planning Your Stay at Memphis KOA Journey

Ready to camp out just minutes from the birthplace of blues and the home of rock 'n' roll?

Here’s how to fill one day fully on-property and another exploring the best of the region.

Morning

Start your day with some fresh air. Stroll around the campground with your morning coffee or let your pup get their energy out at the KampK9® off-leash area. The playground offers a great start to the day for little campers.

Get our famous house-smoked pulled pork sandwiches delivered right to your campsite from the TCB Cafe. Swing by the Kampstore for firewood and those must-have s’mores supplies. As the sun sets, gather ‘round the fire ring, swap stories, and enjoy a mellow night under the stars.
