Memphis might be known for blues and barbecue, but you’ll also find over 620 beach camping options right near the city. Think sandy stretches along the Mississippi and quiet lakeside sites where you can wake up to the sound of water lapping at the shore. Top picks get high marks for their clean toilets, relaxed campfire rules, and pet-friendly vibe. Hiking trails cut through cypress groves; horseback riding and swimming are regular draws for locals.
