Elvis Presley Lake & Campground

Contrary to the expectations of a manicured and bustling RV resort, Elvis Presley Lake & Campground offers a tranquil and understated escape just outside of Tupelo, Mississippi. Situated within an 850-acre park, this campground’s primary allure lies in its quiet atmosphere and proximity to the serene 322-acre Elvis Presley Lake, a popular spot for anglers seeking bass, crappie, and catfish.

The campground itself features 16 sites equipped with water and electrical hookups, catering primarily to self-contained RVs. Facilities include basic restrooms, picnic areas, and a boat ramp, with nearby walking and biking trails enhancing the outdoor experience. There are no frills here—it’s a minimalist setup ideal for a low-key overnight stay or a quick fishing getaway. While the campground’s rustic charm appeals to those seeking solitude, visitors should be aware that some areas may feel unkempt, and the lack of oversight could deter those expecting a polished environment.

Located about 10 minutes from downtown Tupelo, the site offers convenient access to local attractions such as the Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum, making it an excellent base for day trips. Combining a peaceful natural setting and a dash of rock ‘n’ roll history, this campground is best suited for anglers, nature lovers, and Elvis fans looking for a simple, quiet experience.
