Go to Graceland in an RV Rental
One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go cat go. Go where? Paul Simon sang, “I’m going to Graceland”. You can too in an RV rental in Memphis.
After some extensive research…well a Google search, we found no evidence of whether or not Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll was an RVer. Nevertheless, at his home, Graceland, a 14-acre estate in Memphis, Tennessee is located a top notch RV park and campground.
Approximately 600 thousand fans visit Graceland annually to pay homage to the King. Obviously this destination is on many a bucket list! Graceland RV Park and Campground is a short walk from the center the action which is not only the mansion but a complex of museums that have been declared a National Historic Landmark. Elvis and several family members are also buried in a memorial garden on the property. Assuming that you rent an RV in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston or Austin, Texas, Memphis is a one to two day drive depending on your situation and preferences. If you have enough time for a side trip, we recommend that you include stretches of the 2,400 mile historic Route 66 in your itinerary.
