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.

Was their 3 days and no one checked us in our asked if things where ok. Had a broken picnic table, would have been nice if told or text emailed something about draining the lake to fix the dam. Before we arrived, found out from other campers that where there that it was drained months before. Just sad no communications and no contact at the park till we were leaving.

We were only there two nights. Our campsite was nice as we expected. Big disappointment was there was no lake. Pictures and descriptions still speak as if there is a lake. There is a blue link that says important information but it does not work. I guess we should have called. We still enjoyed our time there, drove into Memphis and explored. I understand that it will be 7-9 years before they can repair dam and start refilling the lake.

First of all - there is NO lake. They opened the dam over a year ago so there is no water !!!! The sites are nice and level, the showers were clean, but there is absolutely nothing to do. Many people came with jet skies and paddle boards since the website still tells you there is a lake. Very disappointed

Very Nice full hook up campground. Most sites are pretty level and all are paved. The lake is drained due to the dam needing repair. Still a nice visit. Although there would not be a lot for kids to do. Bathrooms were clean.
