Big Buck Resort

Active adventurers, this is your park. There's simply stacks to do around the woodland setting of Big Buck Resort in western Tennessee, where you can be kept happily occupied from dawn to dusk... and then beyond.

The park covers over 500 acres (that's a lot of wandering) including two small lakes for canoeing and fishing. You can also get stuck into hiking trails and all-terrain vehicle trails, test your skills at the gun, archery and trap ranges, cycle around these scenic grounds, or have a go at basketball, volleyball, table tennis and pool. A pool and a playground are also to hand.

Should this be somewhat too much activity for your gentle self, the park has a big furnished deck over one of the lakes for you to settle down on to spy the plentiful Big Buck wildlife, and there are fire rings and picnic tables for extending your restful hours into the evening. You can also cook up your supper in the communal kitchen in Big Buck's large central lodge, or – if you're feeling particularly restful – have it served to you at the restaurant.

Big Buck is just outside the small town of Hornsby, 12 miles from Bolivar, 16 miles from Selmer and about an hour and a half east of Memphis. It can accommodate all sizes of RVs on its gravel park pads, all of which have picnic tables and private individual charcoal grills.

Shared amenities include an RV dump station, a laundry room, and a neatly-kept cedar-lined amenities block with showers. Park staff are available 24 hours a day and a park ranger station is at the Big Buck entrance.
