Tennessee is something of a hidden gem in the RV world. This state has plenty of open spaces for RVers to enjoy, including a variety of state parks, lakes, and beaches. And if you want to join in on the fun of the big city, you can always camp around hubs like Nashville, Memphis, and Greensboro.

Parkers Crossroads will give you a great opportunity to explore this state. The campground is small and laid back, offering a perfect retreat after a busy day. In addition, it has some of the best reviews in the state, so you can rest easy knowing that you’re in good hands.

Overview

Parkers Crossroads is located in Yuma, Tennessee. It’s conveniently located just a mile off the I-40 highway. It’s also a nice midpoint between Nashville and Memphis. So whether you’re on a road trip to or from one of Tennessee’s major cities, this is an amazing spot to rest and rejuvenate.

Campers also have several bodies of water within striking distance. The Tennessee River sits to the East, while the Mississippi River is to the West. And in between these rivers, there are several popular spots such as Pinoak Lake, Redbud Lake, and Beech Lake to the south.

Smaller nearby towns include Clarksburg, Rock Springs, and Wildersville. This RV park lives up to its name, serving as a crossroads to many different destinations. No matter what kind of vacation you’re planning, a night or two here will open up all kinds of paths to explore.

As for the campground itself, it is quite small. There are only 35 RV sites, so you’ll definitely want to book your spot in advance. A few more sites are currently in development, too, but they aren’t yet available for reservations.

Although space is currently limited at Parkers Crossroads RV Park, the sites that are available are certainly worth a visit. Each offers full hookups, including water, sewage, and electrical (20, 30, or 50 amps). Many of them also come with shade from nearby trees, and/or a scenic view of the nearby pond.

Rates

The rates here aren’t half bad either. Considering the central location and the pristine upkeep provided here, you might be surprised by the value! Nightly campsites cost $54.88 and weekly rates are available for $329.25.

Monthly rates and extended stays are available upon request, but just keep in mind that there aren’t any permanent sites available here. The owners want as many people as possible to enjoy this park, so they like to keep the sites open on a rotating basis.

But if you’re worried about missing your window of opportunity, you can relax! The park is open all year long. This is great news for campers who like to keep traveling, even during the colder months.

Multiple discounts are also offered by the park managers. If you are an active or former member of the military or a first responder, you will qualify. But even if these terms don’t apply to you, you can still get in on the action. Return guests also get discounts at Parkers Crossroads , so if you enjoyed your visit be sure to book here again!

Amenities

Although this campground is fairly small, it still comes with its fair share of amenities to provide the best possible guest experience.

The sites here are mainly covered in gravel, which promotes drainage and gives great tire traction. But there are also a handful of laser-leveled concrete pads as well. If you need something a bit more heavy-duty for your rig, be sure to request one of these special spots.

Speaking of your vehicle, big rigs are welcome here! The largest sites at Parkers Crossroads RV Park can accommodate RV combos up to 70 feet long. Most sites are pull-throughs, and you can leave your vehicle hooked up if you wish.

Other RV park essentials are covered here, including restrooms, showers, and even a laundry facility with four washers and dryers. Propane is available on-site as well. There’s also a small camp store that is run by the park owners. Here, you can find camping essentials and a few fun decor items as well.

A swimming pool is located on the premises, too. This is open on a seasonal basis, ranging from late May to mid-September. So you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the pool if you visit during that window.

But even if you show up during the pool’s off-season, you can always enjoy the view of the scenic pond, complete with a wooden dock and observation platform.

Last, but not least, your pets are welcome here. This campground is surrounded by wooded patches and grassy fields, so dogs have plenty of space to run around and play. There’s a designated pet area on the east edge of the park, but guests are also welcome to walk them around the campground (as long as you pick up after them!)

Nearby Activities/Attractions

Yuma, Tennessee, is quite small, but it’s a gateway to many different opportunities for adventure.

As we mentioned above, the campground is midway between the cities of Nashville and Memphis, making this a great spot to camp if you want to explore both. However, it does take about 1 hour, 45 minutes to reach either of them, so be sure to account for that in your plans.

If you want to check out the local attractions, there’s still plenty to do. For instance, you could enjoy a variety of outdoor activities at the Natchez Trace State Park. History fans will want to check out the Parkers Crossroads Battlefield Tour and the Casey Jones Railroad Museum.

And foodies will be satisfied as well, because there are several local diners and restaurants to sample. Some of the best offering in the areas include:

There’s a nice variety for such a small town. So be sure to bring a bit of extra cash so you can try the local cuisine!
