Everything went very smooth and the site was just right. My husband did fall due to the high edge of the pad compared to the ground level. He hit a elbow on the pad and I took care of it with our first aid kit. Maybe you could make the two levels equal especially where the picnic table is. Other than that everything went very well and it fit our needs for this trip very well. We will be back in May for graduation of granddaughter. Thank you

Nice park. Mowed well. Families making a little noise with kids running around but nothing obnoxious. Very easy to maneuver with our 22’ trailer. Only bad thing was getting woke up by hunters shooting and bad duck calls!

Quiet and peaceful setting. Bathrooms and showers could use an upgrade but adequate. Easy to book and easy to find.

Very nice sites, long and level. Power is good. Unfortunately there is no lake for the near future. We did not use the bathhouses so cannot rate them. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay. Campground is well maintained and showers were clean with lots of water pressure and hot water. Only thing I would change is the shower heads are short and mounted really close to the wall. We had to stand too close to the wall to be under the water. I also wish there was a gate attendant. Lake level was really low and I hope one day it will be full again. This will be a busy park again when that happens.

Great site, neighboring sites nice distance from ours. Disappointed in seeing the lake drained and learning it may be 9 years before refilling takes place. Nevertheless, we’ll be back to explore Hernando.

Site 30. Made reservations online. It showed most sites I thought would be easier access to be reserved already. It ended up the park was about 85% empty and a lot of easier sites to get into were empty. Website said it was good for 53 foot rig and 2 vehicles. I ended up having to drive on the grass a little to get a 36 foot 5th wheel in. Someone before me had already run the site number post over. I found site 31 post in my way. The lake was drained, so any lake activities were dashed. When I tried to look up the alerts for this park I got a message that the page didn't exist. Other than the tight entry and no lake, the park was pretty nice. Standard COE fare.

Surely wish there was a lake there, but it's still a pleasant view.

There is no lake, but this was a great one-night stop location. As with most campgrounds, the showers / bathrooms need some updating. These were kept clean so that was a plus. We liked it enough to book it for our trip home as well.
