Disappointed when we arrived to discover that the lake which features so prominently is empty. might have looked for another site had we been informed about that condition. Otherwise found the campground clean and well kept.

We love coming to Hernando Point. Everyone needs to be aware that there is no water in the lake. Not just at winter pool, Army Corps of Engineers found a breach in the dam back in, I think March of 2023, all boat ramps are closed and it is trespassing if you walk on the lake bed. Still a very nice place to just get away.

The sites are not cared for. My site had 2 fire rings. Both full of trash and old cigar butts. Used to be cared for better.
