We stayed here for while my husband was working. It was beautiful! Nice and quiet! The water is pretty low but it was still very nice!! The only negative I might have would be that you can only stay14 days at a time. We had to move to another location on the lake. And will have to move again. But the next other campground is awesome too!!

The park itself was wonderful, but there was someone in our reserved site. Another camper said that they thought they had been moving site to site for the past three days. The sheriff said they could stay in our spot. It took an hour and a half after we came to the park for us to find a suitable spot that would work with our internet service for my husband’s work. By this time, it was after dark, and the temperatures were dropping toward freezing. My husband busted his hand setting up in the dark, and I wrenched my back. I left a message for park manager, but she never returned my call.

Favorite COE so far. Loved that there was full hookup (sewer). Quiet park. Never heard 1 barking dog in two weeks. Large area with plenty of space between sites. Very flat, not too many trees when parking. Very clean bath house.
No washer/dryer, but no problem. Beautiful lake. Saw our first armadillo.
1 issue-No on site check- in allows for people who don't belong to pull in and party, which happened 1 weekday with about 12 people, & loud music. Otherwise, quiet and peaceful. Great walking area and sunset views.
We stayed here to go to Graceland/Memphis. It was a short easy ride from the campground.

This time there was two car chases through the park both speeding,,two days apart. More rangers than before, but still not safe. What looked like homeless people on bike's with trash bags hanging from handle bars looking at campground sites for things to steal.no camp hosts were seen, twice in our two weeks camper across from us had trouble getting into site dug big trench in our yard.to big for site,,

We camp at Arkabutla lake very often at many different sites. We were at Hernando point site 50, 11/4-6/2022. The site was little to be desired, first the sewer did not drain properly, it leeks into the field next to camp site,the 30 amp out let would not hold power wire, had to use duct tape to make it stay connected, there was no ring for a fire to be built.
