Campgrounds near Bartlett, Tennessee
Bartlett sits in northeast Shelby County, just outside Memphis, which puts RV travelers within a short drive of both urban attractions and the Mississippi River bottomlands. The area functions as a practical base for exploring Memphis, Beale Street, Graceland, and the wooded uplands north of the city, with a mix of full-service RV parks and a state park campground available within roughly 30 minutes of downtown Bartlett.
Closest to town, Agricenter RV Park and Cook's Lake RV Resort and Campground offer standard hookups oriented to travelers using Memphis as a hub. South of the city, Memphis Graceland RV Park and Campground and Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park sit near the Graceland complex and cater to visitors combining sightseeing with overnight stays.
For a forested alternative, Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is located along the Mississippi River, less than 20 miles north of Memphis, with portions of the park situated atop the Chickasaw Bluffs. The campground has 49 sites with water and electric hookups in a heavily wooded setting, and the park spans 12,539 acres of hardwood forest, wetlands, and lakes.
Things to do near Bartlett
Memphis anchors most itineraries: Graceland, the National Civil Rights Museum, Beale Street, the Memphis Zoo, and Sun Studio are all reachable in under 30 minutes from Bartlett. Guests at Memphis Graceland RV Park and Campground or Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park are within easy reach of the Graceland complex.
Outdoor options concentrate north of the city at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. The park offers over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails through hardwood forest and cypress swamp, a 36-hole disc golf course divided into two 18-hole layouts, Poplar Tree Lake for fishing and boat rentals, and a Mississippi River boat ramp. Wildlife viewing includes deer, turkey, beaver, and roughly 200 bird species. Cook's Lake RV Resort and Campground and Agricenter RV Park work well for travelers focused on Memphis events, farmers markets, and shopping.

The Memphis area has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot, winters are cool, and rainfall is spread fairly evenly through the year, though heavy downpours and thunderstorms are common in the warmer months. Spring brings the wettest stretch, with elevated severe weather risk from March through May, while summer heat and humidity push most outdoor activity to mornings and evenings.
Fall is generally the most comfortable window for RV travel, with lower humidity and more stable weather through October. Winter is mild by national standards but can produce brief cold snaps, and most afternoons warm above freezing even in the coldest months.
Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park and its campground operate year-round. Due to erosion issues, One Way Road, past the campground at Meeman-Shelby, is closed, so check current park alerts before arrival. The private RV parks near Memphis and Graceland also operate year-round, with peak demand around Elvis Week in August and major music and sporting events.
How to book campgrounds near Bartlett
State park sites at Meeman-Shelby Forest are handled through Tennessee State Parks central reservations at reserve.tnstateparks.com, with a call center reachable at 1-888-867-2757. Holidays and fall weekends fill first, so book several months out for those dates.
Private parks including Agricenter RV Park, Cook's Lake RV Resort and Campground, Memphis Graceland RV Park and Campground, and Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Elvis Week in August and major Memphis sporting and music events drive early sellouts at the Graceland-area parks, so lock in dates as soon as travel plans firm up. Review each operator's cancellation and deposit terms at the time of booking, as policies vary between the state park system and private campgrounds.
What to expect on-site
Private RV parks in the Memphis area typically provide full hookups, paved or gravel pads, laundry, and Wi-Fi. Agricenter RV Park and Cook's Lake RV Resort and Campground are positioned for easy interstate access, while Memphis Graceland RV Park and Campground and Elvis Presley Blvd RV Park sit closer to the Graceland complex.
At Meeman-Shelby Forest, expect a more rustic, wooded experience. All 49 sites have water and electric hookups, and several also feature sewer connections; for sites without sewer, a dump station is available. Each site includes a picnic table, grill, and fire ring, and a modern bathhouse offers hot showers and flush toilets. Dense tree cover provides shade but can be tight for larger rigs, so check individual site lengths when booking.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Bartlett, TN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Bartlett, TN?
RV rental in Bartlett, TN is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Memphis area, with most travel trailers starting around $80 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes typically running $175 to $295 per night. Bigger Class A rigs land closer to $250 to $400 per night, and prices dip noticeably in the cooler shoulder months of October, November, and February. To save on your Bartlett RV trip, filter by Instant Book and look for hosts offering weekly discounts, since many Mid-South owners knock 10 to 20 percent off stays of seven nights or more. Pro tip: booking mid-week pickups (Tuesday or Wednesday) often unlocks the best rates around big Memphis events like the Beale Street Music Festival.
cityofbartlett.org/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Bartlett, TN?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Bartlett, TN. Tennessee does not require a commercial driver license (CDL) or any special endorsement for recreational vehicles used for personal travel, even for larger Class A motorhomes, so your standard Class D license works perfectly. You will need to be at least 25 years old to book on RVezy, and the platform confirms your ID securely during checkout. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you are set. Most first-time renters are surprised at how easy it is to get behind the wheel of a Memphis-area motorhome rental.
tn.gov/safety/driver-services/classd.htmlWhat kind of protection comes with my Bartlett RV rental?
Every RV rental in Bartlett booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit I-40 with confidence. You choose the coverage level that fits your comfort zone at checkout, and the plan provides meaningful financial protection for most physical damage to the RV during your trip. While this is not traditional auto insurance, it gives you peace of mind so a small mishap on the way to Graceland or Shelby Farms Park does not derail your trip. Pro tip: review the coverage tiers before booking and message your host with any questions, then enjoy the Memphis BBQ knowing you are covered.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Bartlett RV rental?
Booking is low-risk thanks to RVezy's cancellation policy, which includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates and finalize plans without stress. Cancellation terms are set by RVezy, not the individual host, and they factor in how far out you are from your trip. If life happens or you need to change plans, reach out to RVezy support and they will walk you through your options. Pro tip: book early to secure the best Memphis-area rigs around Memphis in May, then relax knowing the cancellation policy gives you flexibility.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Bartlett, TN RV trip?
Absolutely, and Bartlett is a fantastic launchpad for a pet-friendly RV rental in Bartlett. Many local hosts welcome dogs, so simply tick the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see only listings that allow furry travelers, then message the host about any breed or size details. Once you are on the road, your pup will love Shelby Farms Park's huge off-leash dog area (one of the largest in the country, just minutes from Bartlett), the trails at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park where leashed dogs are welcome, and Overton Bark in midtown Memphis. Pro tip: pack a cooling mat and bring extra water in summer, since Mid-South humidity hits dogs hard from June through August.
tnstateparks.com/parks/meeman-shelbyCan the RV be delivered to me in Bartlett?
Yes, RV delivery in Bartlett is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you are new to RVing. Many local hosts will drive the rig directly to your campground, driveway, or even Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. To find delivery-ready listings, use the Delivery filter on RVezy and check the host's delivery radius and per-mile fee, both shown on the listing. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer if you are flying into Memphis International Airport (MEM), only about 20 minutes from Bartlett, since you can skip the rental car and meet your motorhome rental Bartlett right at your campsite.
flymemphis.com/How does mileage work, and how far can I drive on my Bartlett RV trip?
Hosts set their own mileage policies, and on RVezy you will see the daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 free miles per day) plus the per-mile rate for anything extra right on the listing. Some Bartlett-area hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is gold for a long Tennessee road trip. From Bartlett you are about 20 minutes to downtown Memphis, around 3 hours to Nashville (roughly 210 miles east on I-40), about 45 minutes to Tunica casinos, 2.5 hours to Little Rock (about 140 miles), and 6 hours to the Great Smoky Mountains. Pro tip: map your planned route in Google Maps before booking, then filter hosts whose mileage package matches so there are no surprises at drop-off.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bartlett,TennesseeWhere are the best campgrounds near Bartlett, TN?
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Bartlett. Top picks include Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park (about 30 minutes north, 49 wooded sites with water and electric hookups on the Chickasaw Bluffs), Agricenter International RV Park in Memphis (big-rig friendly with full hookups, just 15 minutes from Bartlett), Tom Sawyer's RV Park in West Memphis, AR (concrete pull-throughs right on the Mississippi River with sunset barge views), EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven, MS (all-concrete sites with 50-amp service), and Graceland RV Park & Campground for Elvis fans. Pro tip: Meeman-Shelby sites at $27 per night plus a $5 reservation fee are the best value, but book early through reserve.tnstateparks.com because spring weekends fill up fast.
tnstateparks.com/parks/meeman-shelby/campingWhen is the best time of year to take an RV trip from Bartlett?
The sweet spot for a Bartlett RV trip is mid-April through early June and again from late August through mid-October, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70 to 85 degree range and humidity is more manageable. July and August bring 90+ degree heat with steamy humidity (great for AC-equipped rigs but tough for hiking), while January lows can dip into the low 30s with occasional snow flurries. October is the local insider's favorite: crisp mornings, lower rainfall, and smaller crowds at Meeman-Shelby Forest. Pro tip: time your trip around Memphis in May (World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest and Beale Street Music Festival) for an unforgettable festival-friendly RV getaway.
weather.gov/meg/I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
You will be more than okay, even if this is your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving tips, leveling, hookups, slide-outs, and the dump station routine, and you can message them anytime during your trip with questions. Bartlett is a great place to learn because the surrounding suburbs (Cordova, Lakeland, Arlington) have wide roads and easy parking, and you can ease into highway driving on US-64 before tackling I-40. Stick with a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer for your first run; they drive much like a big truck. Pro tip: do a slow loop through the Shelby Farms parking lot to practice mirrors and turns before heading out.
tn.gov/safety/driver-services.htmlWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every Bartlett RV rental booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering flat tires, battery jumps, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing if needed. Your host is also just a message away for quick troubleshooting (think slide-out quirks or how to relight the water heater), and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. The Memphis metro area has plenty of RV service shops along I-40 and US-64 if anything more involved comes up. Pro tip: snap a quick video walkthrough at pickup so you remember where the breaker panel, propane shutoff, and fuse box are located before you leave Bartlett.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Bartlett RV rental on a road trip to other states?
Yes, road trips across state lines are encouraged, and Bartlett's location at the intersection of I-40 and I-240 makes it a perfect launchpad. Popular RV road trips from Bartlett include Nashville (about 3 hours east), Hot Springs National Park, AR (about 4 hours west), the Great Smoky Mountains (around 6 hours east), New Orleans (roughly 6.5 hours south), and St. Louis (about 4.5 hours north). Cross-border travel to Canada or Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, so plan your route within the United States. Pro tip: the Natchez Trace Parkway starts just outside Nashville and is a stunning, low-traffic alternative to interstate driving.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for my Bartlett RV trip?
Budgeting is straightforward once you know the ranges: Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 10 to 14 MPG, and Class A rigs run 7 to 10 MPG. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but expect a 25 to 30 percent hit on its usual MPG. Memphis-area pumps usually track close to the Tennessee state average, so a 300-mile round trip in a Class C might cost roughly $80 to $110 in fuel at current prices. Pro tip: fill up in Bartlett or Cordova before heading into downtown Memphis, where the Costco on Germantown Parkway often beats nearby stations by 20 cents per gallon.
gasprices.aaa.com/?state=TNHow far in advance should I book a campground near Bartlett?
For the best campgrounds near Bartlett, plan to reserve 2 to 6 months out for spring and fall weekends, and up to 12 months ahead for holiday weekends and Memphis festival dates. Tennessee State Parks like Meeman-Shelby Forest accept reservations up to one year in advance through reserve.tnstateparks.com, and popular sites sell out fast for May and October weekends. Private parks like Tom Sawyer's RV Park and Agricenter International RV Park usually have shorter lead times (2 to 4 weeks midweek) but still fill quickly during Memphis in May. Pro tip: if you strike out at Meeman-Shelby, try Fort Pillow State Historic Park (about an hour north) for a quieter, off-the-radar alternative.
reserve.tnstateparks.com/meeman-shelby-forestWhat are driving conditions like around Bartlett and Memphis?
Driving an RV around Bartlett is generally relaxed thanks to wide suburban arterials like Stage Road, Bartlett Boulevard, and US-64, and you can easily skirt downtown Memphis on the I-240 loop. Rush hour on I-40 between Bartlett and downtown (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.) gets heavy, so plan pickups and drop-offs outside those windows. Watch for sudden spring thunderstorms (March through May), occasional winter ice on overpasses in January, and low-clearance railroad bridges in older Memphis neighborhoods. Avoid driving large rigs through midtown's narrow streets. Pro tip: use the I-269 outer loop to bypass Memphis entirely when heading from Bartlett toward Mississippi or Arkansas, it is wide, fast, and stress-free for first-time RV drivers.
smartway.tn.gov/trafficWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Bartlett?
Campgrounds near Bartlett offer a full range of amenities so you can settle in quickly. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park has 49 sites with water and electric (50-amp), a modern bathhouse with hot showers, a dump station, picnic tables, fire rings, and a new three-level playground. Agricenter International RV Park and EZ Daze RV Park offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50-amp electric) plus laundry and Wi-Fi. Tom Sawyer's RV Park adds free laundry and Mississippi River views. Need to dump tanks or fill fresh water on the road? Most Memphis-area Pilot and Love's truck stops along I-40 have RV dump stations. Pro tip: pick up firewood at the Shelby Forest General Store on the way in, since only certified heat-treated firewood is allowed inside Tennessee State Parks.
tnstateparks.com/parks/meeman-shelby/campingWhat features will my Bartlett RV rental come with?
Most RVs you can rent in Bartlett come ready for adventure with a comfortable bed setup (sleeping 2 to 8 depending on the rig), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and sink, a private bathroom with toilet and shower, roof-mounted air conditioning (essential for Memphis summers), heating, a dinette, and seatbelts for travel. Many include a TV, Wi-Fi hotspot or onboard generator, outdoor awning, and propane grill connection. Class B campervans are leaner but easier to park; Class A and Class C rigs add slide-outs and more living space. Each listing on RVezy shows photos and a full feature list, so you can match the rig to your group. Pro tip: confirm AC works on shore power AND generator before leaving Bartlett, you will use both during a Mid-South summer.
energy.gov/energysaver/air-conditioningWhat add-ons and pickup options do Bartlett hosts offer?
Popular add-ons from Bartlett-area hosts include camp chairs and outdoor mats, bedding and linen packages ($35 to $75), kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, portable grills, kayaks, and dump-and-clean services ($75 to $150) that save you the messy task at trip's end. Pickup is typically at the host's home or shop in Bartlett, Cordova, Lakeland, or nearby Memphis suburbs, and many hosts offer RV delivery in Bartlett or directly to Meeman-Shelby Forest for an extra fee based on distance. Mileage policies vary by listing, so check the daily allowance before booking. Pro tip: bundling the linen kit plus dump service often costs less than buying gear and finding a dump station yourself, letting you focus on enjoying Beale Street.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bartlett,TennesseeHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is handled securely through RVezy when you book, so there is no cash or check exchange with the host at pickup. You will see the full trip total (nightly rate, mileage package, host add-ons, protection plan, and taxes) before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment prior to the trip, typically between $500 and $1,500 depending on the RV's value, and it is released after drop-off assuming there is no damage or excess cleaning. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the RV inside and out at both pickup and drop-off. Pro tip: refuel and empty the tanks before returning to Bartlett to skip any post-trip service fees.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park my RV overnight in Bartlett if I am not at a campground?
For overnight stays in Bartlett, your best bet is a proper campground or RV park rather than a street or parking lot. Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park (about 30 minutes north), Agricenter International RV Park (15 minutes south in Memphis), and EZ Daze RV Park in Southaven are all close, affordable, and welcoming. These options give you legal hookups, security, and easy access to Memphis attractions. Pro tip: if you are just passing through, some Walmart Supercenters in the Memphis metro allow overnight RV parking with manager permission, so call the specific store ahead to confirm before settling in.
