VERY clean. Five stars!
But, with the lake empty, there is nothing to do. No walking trails, no play ground for children, etc.

This was me and my husband's first time venturing out with our new camper. We wanted to go somewhere where we could practice setting/hooking up and not be too far from town/home in case we needed anything. We had such a great time and are already planning to get back there this weekend. I know the water is nonexistent, but we loved just sitting outside, watching the deer walk by, listening to the birds, hearing the rainfall above us. The bathrooms (even though we have our on in our camper) were very clean, the grounds were well kept, and the sheriff who lives on site was incredibly nice. :) We look forward to our next visit.

A nice park. Have been here several times. We were on site six and although the water level is low, we could sit and enjoy a view of the water. Well laid out. Quiet. Clean bathrooms with hot water. Eagles nest above our site. Enjoyed watching the eagle pair glide over the water.

Great location near Hernando. Wonderful full hookup sites throughout. Several shower houses, some newer than others but all in good working order. All sites were paved and fairly level. Plentiful space between sites.
Do not come here to enjoy Arkabutla Lake as it is very, very "not here" due to repairs being made to the dam. Come for the wonderful, quiet, well laid out campground experience. Visit Hernando for good food, shopping and entertainment.

We were traveling back home and decided to make a reservation for overnight. The campground was beautiful and with the full hookups, we wished we could’ve stayed a couple more nights. The camp is clean and well maintained. We loved our stay!

I booked this from the website assuming that if sites showed as available that they were also acccessable. When I got to the park after dark I drove in approx irately 100 yards and the road turned into a sheet of ice and snow pack. I was driving a 36’ rv towing a car in fog and I couldn’t drive on the road in front of me. I had to unhook my car and back it up to a wide enough spot to turn around then had to do the same with my rv. I never made it to my campground site. A ranger should have had the website post a warning so people could know the bad conditions at the time of booking.
If the roads weren’t cleared it shouldn’t have been listed as open and available. I wasted my money this trip and caused myself and my wife a lot of stress.
