What a great spot. Quiet, clean. We stayed at site #2 with a beautiful view of the lake. Even saw a Bald Eagle who sat in our tree for awhile. Bathrooms were surprisingly very clean and in good condition. Definitely staying here again!

My husband and I and son and his family always have a great relaxing fun time when we come here to camp.
Just wish there was more playground equipment for the children. We always have one or 2 of the grandchildren when we camp.
We especially like that you don't see camp areas with peoples refrigerators, deep freezers and other household appliances covered in tarps, leaking water faucets, and other eyesores like you do at South Abutment in Arkabutla.

We loved this park. It was totally carefree, no checking in. Just drive to your reserved site and pull in. The views are outstanding and it’s a peaceful quiet park.

This time of year it is wonderful at Hernando Point! No children and campground not full! Gorgeous Bald Eagle watching us from trees next to us.

Beautiful park with great waterfront views. Nicely maintained.
Memphis is a short drive away, and there are many points of interest well within a reasonable distance. Check out Graceland and Jerry Lee's home!
Overall, the park is wonderful, and very peaceful. I would think, however, that there would be some sort of oversite.
