The campground volunteer and the park ranger were very helpful in resolving the issue we had with our reserved campsite. The people who were there were not around so we could not get into the campsite we reserved. The volunteer and park ranger found a campsite for us that was very acceptable while they tried to locate the people who were still in our reserved site. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained.

We were at site 5, and it was probably the prettiest campsite we've ever had. Right on the lake, nice breeze, beautiful sunset views. Unfortunately an army of ants and swarms of flies, nats and mosquitos put a real damper on things. I know, I know, we're CAMPING, I get it. But the ants infested the RV (thank God they weren't fire ants) and the flying insects got so bad in the evening there was really no way to cook or sit outside. I don't know, maybe it was the time of the year (August) or maybe that's just what to expect on a lake in Mississippi. It's a shame though, because it really is a beautiful campground.

Hernando Point didn’t disappoint. Quite and orderly the spaces for camping were well appointed and clean. Didn’t use the bathhouses but they seemed cared for. The rubbish bin needed emptying badly but aside that a great time. Also mpb tv is all 5 channels limited. Cel service is almost nonexistent. Lake view is a plus.

Driving through Mississippi on a trip. Looked on line and found this campground near my location so I reserved online. Drove to the campground and it was a great place to visit. Nice, up up to date facilities, quite, and on a lake. Will return. 5 stars.

Nice lake and campsite #5 was level with afternoon shade. We and our neighbors had ants overrun us; they moved to another campsite. The water didn’t work at our site but we had onboard water so it wasn’t a problem for us because we only stayed for 2 nights.

We had issues with the electrical service and they helped us move to another site without any issues.

Campsite 7 was OK and had a view of the lake. It was cement, we had shade. While wide enough for the RV we stepped out onto the hill. We had an ant infestation, day they crawled up the water hose and into the RV. The next morning we had been infested with gnats. Still don’t know how they got in but they were dead. It was a different camping experience
