Campground on the Mississippi?

[Cousin Ed]

We love Tow Sawyer in W. Memphis, AK are there any other campgrounds like it, where you can watch the barge traffic? We would like to be further North... it would save us a few hundred miles. We have only praise for Tom Sawyer and will go back but another option or two would be great.

We have stayed at the Lady Luck Casino in Caruthersville, MO. Right on the river. Can't see the river from the RV as there's a burn in the way. There are several places where you can sit and watch the river traffic. It's impressive seeing a tug pushing several barges upstream.
Campground is very cheap if you stay out of the casino... Make sure you register for the club card and you get a bit more off.

Riverview RV Park in Vidalia LA across the river from Natchez provides sites with good views of the river. Expensive, but nice.
