Our campsite had very recently been renovated to include electricity, fresh water, and direct access to a sewer connection. The site was clean, level, and easy to navigate into. The amenities were all in good condition and the park was very clean. We hope to return in the future and camp closer to the lake shore.

Love this place. Good size lots, easy access. Bathrooms clean. Well taken care of. Remember if you are going here (2024) the lake is now a river because of dam problems, maybe years before fixed

The park was pretty but our site (44) had a steep drop off as we parked the motor home. There wasn’t a good flat area to set up chairs outside. My brother was in site 45 and the picnic table was on the sewer side of his RV and it was very difficult for him to park due to the road having a steep drop off.

My wife and I love this spot Lot #50. It will be so pretty when the dam is fixed and the water is let back in. We will be back !

We love camping at Hernando Point. We aren’t “water people”, so not having water doesn’t bother us. It’s close to Memphis & we go a lot more now. Highly recommend .
