Campgrounds near Hernando, Mississippi
Hernando sits in DeSoto County in the far northwest corner of Mississippi, about 25 miles south of downtown Memphis along Interstate 55. The location gives RV travelers quick access to both metro Memphis attractions and the lakes, forests, and wildlife areas of north Mississippi. Most RV parks in the immediate area are commercial full-hookup properties oriented to travelers passing through on I-55 or basing themselves for Memphis day trips.
EZ Daze RV Park is the closest private option to Hernando itself, offering concrete pads and modern hookups. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Memphis, Memphis South Campground and RV Park, Southaven RV Park, and Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park round out the nearby commercial choices, ranging from family resorts with pools and activities to no-frills overnight stops.
For public-land camping, Arkabutla Lake lies about 13 miles west of Hernando via Scenic Loop 304 and is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its developed campgrounds offer sites with electric hookups, flush toilets, showers, and drinking water on wooded, waterfront terrain.
Things to do around Hernando
Arkabutla Lake anchors outdoor recreation in the area. Families come for fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, and biking, and the surrounding wildlife management areas cover a combined 30,000 acres of public hunting lands where whitetail deer, wild turkeys, quail, and waterfowl roam. The Coldwater River Nature Trail System includes two hiking trails and an interpretive trail that educates hikers on the wildlife and ecosystem.
Hernando's historic town square offers restaurants, shops, and a weekly farmers market during warm months. Memphis is a short drive north on I-55, putting Graceland, Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Museum, and the Memphis Zoo within easy reach. Guests at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Memphis can also stay on-site for playgrounds, a pool, and seasonal water activities aimed at kids.

The Hernando area has a humid subtropical climate with hot, muggy summers and short, cool winters. Peak temperatures extend beyond 90°F between June and August, with high humidity, so shaded, waterfront sites at Arkabutla Lake fill quickly on weekends and holidays. Thunderstorms are common in warmer months, and severe weather including tornadoes is possible in spring.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV travel, with mild days, cooler nights, and lower humidity. April is typically the wettest month, so campers should expect soft ground and occasional lake-level fluctuations.
Winter camping is viable because the Corps campgrounds operate year-round, and most private parks in the area also remain open through the cold months. Note that Arkabutla Lake is experiencing substantially lower water levels for an extended period while long-term repairs to Arkabutla Dam are completed, which affects boating access; most day use and campground facilities remain open for public use.
How to book campgrounds near Hernando
Corps of Engineers campgrounds at Arkabutla Lake, including Hernando Point, Dub Patton, and South Abutment, are reserved through Recreation.gov or by phone. Reservation windows typically open several months in advance, and peak-season weekends fill fast. Once a reservation is created, a fee applies to cancel or change site or dates, cancellations made the day before or up to the day after arrival are also charged the first night's use fee, and no-shows are charged an additional fee plus the first night's use fee.
Private parks such as EZ Daze RV Park, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Memphis, Memphis South Campground and RV Park, Southaven RV Park, and Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. For holiday weekends, spring break, and any Memphis event weekend, book several weeks out.
What to expect on arrival
Corps campgrounds around Arkabutla Lake offer family sites with electric hookups, flush toilets, showers, and drinking water, set on the waterfront among rolling hills forested with a shady mixture of oak, hickory, beech, sweet gum, and birch trees. Sites are a mix of pull-through and back-in, and many are waterfront. Cell coverage is generally reliable given the proximity to Memphis.
Private RV parks along the I-55 corridor typically provide full hookups, Wi-Fi, laundry, and pull-through sites suitable for larger rigs. Some check-ins are handled through an after-hours arrival box if guests reach the park late.
Expect insects and high humidity from late spring through early fall; bring repellent and check for ticks after hiking. A Mississippi fishing license is required for anglers, and Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices are required for water activities on Arkabutla Lake.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Hernando, MS
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Hernando?
RV rental in Hernando is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Mid-South. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $140 per night, Class C motorhomes run roughly $150 to $250, and larger Class A motorhomes range from $225 to $375. Because Hernando sits just 25 miles south of Memphis on Interstate 55, you get small-town pricing with easy access to attractions like Graceland and Beale Street. To find a cheap RV rental Hernando travelers love, book midweek, aim for shoulder months like March or October, and use RVezy filters to sort by price. Many hosts also offer weekly discounts that make multi-day trips even better value.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hernando,MississippiWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Hernando?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Hernando. Mississippi does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement for personal-use motorhomes, travel trailers, or fifth wheels available on RVezy. You simply need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID inside the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home-country license and you are set. Most first-time renters in Hernando are pleasantly surprised at how quick and paperwork-free the process is, so you can focus on planning stops like Arkabutla Lake.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Hernando RV rental?
Every RV rental in Hernando booked through RVezy comes with a built-in protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Interstate 55 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle during your trip and is separate from personal auto insurance. RVezy offers multiple coverage tiers, and you choose your protection level during checkout based on how much extra cushion you want. Whether you are heading to Arkabutla Lake for a weekend or planning a longer motorhome rental Hernando road trip, you can pick the package that fits your comfort level.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Hernando is low-risk because RVezy sets a standard cancellation policy for every trip, not the individual host. There is a money-back grace period right after you book, with additional refund options depending on how far in advance you cancel. Your exact cancellation terms are shown clearly during checkout and in your booking confirmation email. If plans change due to severe weather or unexpected events, contact RVezy support and they will walk you through your options, so you can lock in that Memphis-area trip today and adjust later if you need to.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Hernando RV trip?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental Hernando families love is easy to find. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you will see listings whose hosts welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) on board. Many hosts charge a small pet cleaning fee, which you will see upfront before booking. Once you arrive, your pup has plenty of room to roam: Arkabutla Lake's Corps of Engineers campgrounds allow leashed pets, and Hernando's Conger Park downtown is a great quick stretch stop. For a longer outing, the trails around Arkabutla Dam offer shaded, forested loops that dogs love after a day on the road.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hernando,MississippiCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Hernando?
Yes, RV delivery Hernando guests rely on is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer if it is your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the rig directly to your campsite at Hernando Point Campground on Arkabutla Lake, Dub Patton Recreation Area, or even a private driveway in Southaven or Olive Branch, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees are usually based on mileage from the host's location and are shown right on the listing. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and message the host with your exact campground address to confirm a stress-free setup.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hernando,MississippiHow does mileage work and how far can I travel from Hernando?
Each host on RVezy sets their own mileage policy, and you will see it clearly on the listing, with options ranging from a set number of miles per night to RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer adventures. Hernando is a fantastic launchpad: downtown Memphis is about 25 miles north, Tunica is roughly 30 miles west, Oxford and the Ole Miss campus are 60 miles south, Tupelo (Elvis's birthplace) is around 110 miles southeast, and Nashville sits about 210 miles northeast. If you are planning a bigger Hernando RV trip looping the Mississippi Delta or hitting Little Rock (about 140 miles west), filter for unlimited mileage to keep things simple.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hernando,MississippiWhere are the best campgrounds near Hernando?
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Hernando style. Hernando Point Campground on Arkabutla Lake, run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, offers waterfront sites with electric hookups, showers, and flush toilets just minutes from town. Dub Patton Recreation Area on the north side of Arkabutla Lake provides additional sites with a mix of hookups and lake views. South Abutment Recreation Area near Coldwater is another Corps campground with great fishing access. For full hookups, EZ Daze RV Park in nearby Southaven is a top pick, and Memphis Graceland RV Park & Campground (about 20 miles north) lets you walk to Elvis's mansion. Reserve Corps sites at Recreation.gov early for summer weekends.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233507When is the best time to take an RV trip from Hernando?
The sweet spot for a Hernando RV trip is spring (mid-March through May) and fall (September through early November), when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit range and humidity backs off. Summers are long, hot, and humid, with July and August regularly topping 90 degrees, so look for rigs with strong air conditioning if you travel then. Winters are mild compared to the north, with January highs around 50 degrees, making December through February a quiet, budget-friendly window with plenty of availability. Book around regional events like the Hernando Water Tower Festival in late spring for a great mix of weather and local fun.
weather.gov/meg/I have never driven an RV. Will I be okay renting one in Hernando?
Yes, first time renting an RV in Hernando is genuinely easy, and you are not on your own. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering driving tips, propane, water systems, and dumping, so you leave knowing exactly how everything works. Hernando itself is a friendly place to learn: the streets around the historic Courthouse Square are wide, Interstate 55 has gentle grades, and you can practice in large parking lots before heading to your campsite. If city driving feels intimidating, simply book delivery and let the host bring the RV to you. Travel trailers and Class C motorhomes are the easiest categories for newcomers.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I break down or have an issue on the road?
You are covered 24/7. Every RV rental in Hernando booked through RVezy includes round-the-clock roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 51 or a battery issue at Arkabutla Lake is just a phone call away from help. Roadside will dispatch service for tires, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing. If something inside the rig acts up (think a finicky fridge or AC), your host is your first call because they know their RV best, and RVezy customer support is right behind them as backup before, during, and after your trip. That safety net is a big reason renters book with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Hernando RV rental across state lines or into Canada or Mexico?
Most hosts allow interstate travel, which is great because Hernando sits at the crossroads of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas. A popular RV road trip from Hernando hits Memphis (25 miles), the Natchez Trace Parkway entrance near Tupelo (110 miles), Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas (about 200 miles), or Nashville (210 miles). Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed with host approval, just message the host from the listing first and confirm with RVezy support so insurance coverage is in place. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance does not extend there. Pick a host who matches your route, and your campervan rental Hernando road trip is good to roll.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Hernando RV trip?
Fuel is easier to budget for in Mississippi because gas prices here are consistently among the lowest in the country, often well below the national average. Expect a Class B campervan to deliver roughly 18 to 22 miles per gallon, a Class C motorhome around 8 to 12 mpg, a Class A around 6 to 10 mpg, and a tow vehicle with a travel trailer roughly 9 to 14 mpg. For a typical 300-mile weekend loop from Hernando to Memphis and Tunica, plan on $90 to $150 in fuel for most mid-size rigs. Fill up in Hernando or Southaven before heading deeper into rural Tate or Marshall County, where stations are more spread out.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Hernando?
For peace of mind, book Corps of Engineers sites at Hernando Point and Dub Patton on Arkabutla Lake through Recreation.gov as soon as the six-month rolling window opens, especially for Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day weekends, which fill up fastest. State park sites such as John W. Kyle State Park in Sardis (about 30 miles south) can be reserved through the Mississippi State Parks reservation system, typically up to 12 months ahead. Private parks like EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven and Memphis Graceland RV Park usually book directly on their websites and accept reservations further out. For shoulder-season weekends in March, April, October, and November, two to four weeks ahead is usually plenty.
