Campsite was good. Spacious. The beach was very dirty and lots of broken glass and trash and unmowed grass

We have 2 doggies, so it was not very welcoming with the grass at that height. That made it look like the park was neglected.

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!
