We love to camp at Hernando Point! It is close to home and a quick weekend getaway. We know we are spoiled by full hookups! Site 52 is one of our favorite sites. It is in the back loop so very quiet. The site itself is very level with a nice concrete pad off of the camper. The trees provided great shade throughout the day and we can see the lake behind us through the trees. The restroom and bathhouse are relatively close and clean.
I highly recommend this campground!

We arrived before dark Memorial Day, there are no signs giving you lot # directions Doo the first road I turn down was a deep hole that I had to back out from along with my husband who was towing a 38 ft 5th wheel. As we went around the entire campground where vehicles were parked 1/2 in the road 1/2 on the grass it was difficult to get thru, and I mean inches! My picture as you can look up showed a lake front lot was FAR from it. We were on the back on a lot where raw sewage was on the concrete pad up to the table, dog poop was all in the grass which had obviously not been mowed, tall in clovers. The park was quite, Not A Ranger or Camp Host to be found. We took our water hose sprayed down the area, by then we were over taken by mosquitoes and gnats. At this point we loaded up and left the RV there bc my husband had to be at work. This was supposed to be a week of me and my two 8 and 9 yr old granddaughters, but luckily we love about 15 miles away. I went back the next day. Found the camp host (who had 5 vehicles parked at his pad) who was busily building wooden under pinning his RV for his “permanent stay”! He never approached us, and it was it undetermined “who” the other host was. We never saw a Ranger at any time. I loaded our perishables and after calling Recreation.gov, told them I could not arrange my RV to be relocated until Friday morning, which we did pack up and left. I have not received credit or a call from the Corps of Engineers yet. Before I post to social media the videos and pictures I will try one more time to reach the proper channel to get this resolved. I was raised near here and spent my young years there and this place is deplorable. I understand that a tornado came thru a few years ago, was under the impression it had been Updated with sewer and electrical at all sites. In the past Rangers patrolled the areas non stop. In comparison to Enid Lake camp sites this is a negative 50. Ruined trip for 2 little girls is an understatement!

Nice park, however, no check-in, no park map and no indication of who the host is should a problem arise (which happened... power outage). A few simple steps, like a campground map and a host sign would be an improvement.

We were on a lovely waterfront site. The moonrise over the water was amazing. The site was level and nicely appointed as advertised. Wish we could have stayed more than 9ne night but we were on a schedule.

Very beautiful campground. The sites are huge compared to alot that I've stayed at. Only issue I have is the interactive campground map that we used for reservation is not accurate. We chose site 38 because it seems secluded and near the water...it's not. I should've looked into that further...so my bad. Will definitely visit again.

The campground is beautiful and the hosts are awesome. No fault of rec.gov or the campground, when we arrived there was someone on our site we had reserved. They said when they arrived the previous day, someone was on their site and a ‘lady’ on the phone told them to take the next available site. Well, our site was empty at the time but it was not available. The camp hosts, Phil & Jack, were 100% but we didn’t want to push the issue due to the fact the lady on our site was irate. We were offered another campsite but we chose to go eat and return home and plan for another day (we live in the area). We were given a complete refund. We look forward to returning to the campground and spending the night 😊
