RV Sites offer power and water, but no gray water disposal or septic. Short term rentals only.
Camping is primitive.

Escape to the quiet and peaceful prairie at Yoder Outpost RV Park — a 2-acre slice of open space just on the outskirts of town, where kids can run free and you can relax and breathe.
Nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Grand Prairie, our property offers wide-open views with wildlife just steps away. Ducks and geese often appear within 100 feet of your camper and soar overhead throughout the day. It’s the perfect spot to unplug, unwind, and let nature set the pace.
We have two easy RV/tent sites that accommodate vehicles up to 45 ft. Each site features:
• Full hookups (water, sewer, and electric) plus Wi-Fi
• A fire pit and asphalt pad for evenings under the stars
• Pet-friendly space — bring your four-legged partner!
• Close proximity to town for easy access to local shops and dining
Whether you’re passing through or staying awhile, Yoder Outpost offers a relaxed base in a friendly, natural setting. Gather around the fire, watch the prairie sky shift at sunset, and let the calm of the Grand Prairie work its magic.

Stuttgart is knows as the "Rice and Duck Capital of the World". Rice fields and irrigation reservoirs entice the annual migration of ducks and geese on the Mississippi Flyway to linger, making the area nationally renowned among waterfowl hunters. This property is located in town on a quiet side street. Enjoy relaxing in the shade under a 100 year old oak tree or make s'mores over the fire pit. Visit our local Museum of the Grand Prairie and learn about the area's rich German history and agricultural significance!

The site was close enough to town but far enough away from traffic. Had a great sunset view. Easily accessible. Would recommend

Level, spacious, and nestled under a beautiful old tree! Hookups are on the “wrong side”- power reached no problem but needed our extra length water hose, and Andrew provided extra length to reach septic. Great location, <5 min from town where there’s a Walmart, o’reilley’s, fast food, etc! Would stay again!

Mary Fay's campground, while very bare bones, was perfectly located for our visit to Clarksdale, MS as part of the Blues Tour. Water and power worked perfectly and we really appreciated the wifi.

Location was cool and creepy at the same time! All amenities worked well and location was convenient to Clarksdale and about a mile to Muddy Waters home place.

A neat little place to stopover for the night with water and electric (only 50A inlets available but host does provide some adaptors inside the store room behind parking 2. Was beautifully quiet for a restful night's sleep

Fairly convenient to town. We visited Hopson Hospitality at Mary’s suggestion, and found Red Panther Brewing and Ground Zero on our own the next night. Having power connection at the site was awesome. A very nice place to settle in while visiting Clarksdale.

We loved camping at this old cotton gin site. So much history, friendly people and an event at the Stovall Store while we were there too! A fun time! Definitely stay here while in Clarksdale.

It's OK for RVs. If you're looking for a rustic tent camping site you might be better off elsewhere. The host, Gary, was extremely nice.
