Without a gate and no hosts on site, there's a lot of criminal activity. There was a domestic incident and since it was after 16:30 there Rangers were not at work. We told the Rangers the next day about it and they said the people were getting evicted anyways for non-payment. We left a day after that, and they were still there with no signs of leaving. Not sure what the "host" do here, or at least I think they are host since they have wooden skirting around their 5th wheel and about 4 vehicles...free rent I guess (same goes with the Desoto County Sherrif Deputy staying here). At least the grass is getting mowed now.

its a place to stay if you need to go into Memphis, but that's all (no gate and no host so it can be party central for the weekenders)

Nice campground and pretty easy to get to. This is pretty much a "self-service" campground. There is no office to register at, no Park Ranger on duty. We didn't really see camp hosts much, if at all. You have to find your site yourself and signage is minimal/non-existent.

Overall though, nice park (although the water is very low). It rained the entire time we were there. Our site was ok as we were slightly "up hill" but other sites were under water. Lots of trees so and our Starlink had a lot of obstructions.

Great for a short stay.

This site is not on the lake. It is well shaded and close to bath house and bathrooms.

I was on site 38 and it was excellent. Level, lots of shade in early September. Big concrete handicapped accessible area but picnic table not on concrete. It was off to the side in the grass, which was okay with me but maybe not for someone needing level ground w/ table. It was a big roomy site not close to anyone on either side. Definitely will mark it as a ❤️ one!

Hernando Point Campground, Hernando, MS

This was a good place to spend a few days while exploring the Memphis area. Our site was #23, a long level pull-thru with full hook-ups and a view of what little lake there is. They are working on the dam, so the lake is extremely low and not very pleasing to look at. This is pretty much a self-service campground; the office was closed and there was no one around and no instructions about checking in, getting a map, or to answer questions. A couple of sites appeared to be occupied by either camp host or full timers, but there was never anyone around either of those sites. We never saw a ranger or host the entire time we were there. Our site had no shade, but several of the back-in spaces were very shady. The grass needed to be mowed and there was a water leak at our site, so apparently there was not much maintenance being done.
