Great site. Nice flare slips, plenty of tree coverage. Though, I did seem to have the only slip with no sewer hookup. It was there, just glued shut.

We enjoy going to Hernando Point, since it’s close to home. We aren’t “boat or water” campers, so with the water being gone does not effect us. They have drained the lake due to some repairs needed to the Dam, Our safety is important.

Nice campground..surprised we didn't see any rangers..Sheriff drove through a couple of time..Not very friendly host they never even camp to our campsite to introduce them selves and he looked like he was mad all the time when we saw him out...Maybe that's not a requirement of your camp host.

The area is beautiful and the site was perfect for us. Found plenty of activity nearby in and around town. the only disappointing part is that the water was so so low and seemed to keep getting lower---now we find out there was damage to the dam and they will be doing repairs. We will definitely be back!

It was sad that the lake had been drained, but understandable that a repair had to be made. It would be great if there were concrete pads under all the picnic tables.

Third time visiting Hernando Point, all different sites. A little tight backing into that site with a 31 ft 5th wheel.

Campgrounds are great, lake was gone due to damn leak. We stayed in #51. Table is on wrong side along with grills. Our grill was broken, fixed the day before we left by a very nice gentleman. We couldn’t cook out since the table is right next to the sewer line. My only complaint. We have stayed here several times.
