A nice level site. Some shade except for the middle of the day.

There was no one working, so we had to drive 5 miles to get a phone signal to get a site. The bathrooms had not been cleaned in weeks. Someone had defecated in one of the men's showers and it was left.

The sites here are spacious and you can pull your boat up to the edge of the lake easily in most spots. The bathrooms were clean - showers were separate from the commodes. Most sites have shade and are asphalt.

Beautiful campsite, quiet, clean, military friendly. It’s close to Memphis for day trips. The lovely little town is close and offers everything you need.
My husband also recommends Martins BBQ joint. Is a little bit of a drive but worth it.

We stayed ten days at Hernando Point….ants are horrible! After I got home I had to spray our camper with ant bombs and close it up. The whole time we were there we never saw a camp host…Homeless people came and set up in tents at night and left early which didn’t give me the best feeling of being safe. Some people move from site to site and appear to be living there. Overall I am not very impressed with the campground. The pads are nice but geez….I had to spend a lot of time fighting the ants! The grass was knee high which isn’t good either!

This could be a nice campground if the "camp hosts" and "security (off duty cop) person" would actually make themselves seen and make rounds. The campground has a few people that live here, just move all their junk from site to site (since there isn't any gate/check in). Also the grass is knee deep (very buggy). I did see the ranger drive around once in the week and a half I was there.

Beautiful spot. Lots of room between campsites. MOST IMPORTANT--loved the fact that you now have sewer hookups!! One of the reasons I bought a travel trailer was I wanted MY bed and MY bathroom. I was disappointed to see that only about 1/3 of campgrounds have sewer hookups. Thanks again for this. I know it wasn't cheap to install.
