This is the second time we've visited here and like it very much. Super quiet, flat. great for biking & canoeing. Check out ice cream @ the Dip, fun historical drive in with great fries!

If your ready to not have a campground host, stay here. If there are hosts here their site(s) are not marked as such. Campground is open to public driving through at all hours of day and at speeds I felt wee not safe with kids around. On the plus side: all sites are FHU, most are spacious. Check out Crossroads Seafood Restaurant in Hernando. Excellent!!

Very nice level campsite (05) on the lake. Quiet and relaxing. Close enough to Memphis attractions for day trips. Will stay here again.

One of our favorite spots for a night or two. Most spots offer plenty of room and are level. Beautiful lake and clean bath houses. We always visit Area 51 Ice Cream when passing through Hernando also….amazing ice cream!!

Nice place to camp been coming here for years it close to home so we can go back and forth to work. I wish they would open the park back up for the kids not sure why they haven't??

Need speed bumps in the park, to many people speeding through.

Close to Memphis and things but that can be a negative too. Without a gate or guard house, there is a lot of sketchy activity going on.

The camping area was well kept and very pleasant! However what wasn’t pleasant was showing up to the campgrounds and reading a sign that you HAVE to make an online reservation in order to camp. We were from out of town and didn’t know this nor did we have service. We had to drive out of the campgrounds until we had enough service to book a site. Was frustrating to have to go through all that just to be able to pull a car up and camp. I feel there should be a better way of booking a campsite other than online.
