This is a wonderful campground located on the ‘wrong side of the levee’ along the banks of the Mississippi River - it does close occasionally due to flooding. It’s a wonderful place to sit and watch the traffic go by.

This one is six barges long by three wide making his way upriver, empty. ( the average barge is 200 feet long by 35 wide making this one 1200 feet long by 105 feet wide, minus the ‘pusher boat’. Which makes it bigger then the ore ships we saw earlier this year on the Great Lakes ) Capacity when full is 1,530 tons, each! Roughly half the cargo carried by these barges is grain coming from ‘up north’ to the port in southern Louisiana!

Top Eastern Arkansas Hotel Reviews

Gold Strike Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Yes"

ARRIVE Memphis

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The check-in process was weird as we had to wait for someone to let us into the front door while all the people enjoying the bar and lobby just looked at us. I do understand the locked door due to the location of the hotel but it's still awkward watching people stare at you while you struggle to get in to get to the front desk. Other than that, the room was vintage and awesome, and the staff was great. I'll definitely stay here again!"

The Stallion

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was superb and the communication was top tier from the property. They also continued to provide recommendations on things to do locally, including events that’ll be happening during our stay. Instructions are very clear which I love and the amenities really catered to our needs. I will definitely be booking The Stallion again soon. Thanks again!"
