Great campground, we stayed right on the water. Bathrooms were clean.
No check-in, just go to your site and park. Never saw anyone patrol the park but could have easily missed them.
Park & site were clean.

Well spaced and level sites. Not a lot of signage for direction to sites. Plenty of full hookups.

Site 19 provides a great view if the lake level is normal. It was really low during our visit so mostly rocks and mud.
50 amp service was not working when we arrived, and quickly realized there was no identified camp host on site to assist. Called the COE office and left messages but no response. So, if you have problems on the weekend you are out of luck. We had to struggle with 30 amp conversion on our coach for the weekend.
Although sewer had recently been added to many sites, ours was located so far back of the site I had to add a second hose in order to reach. Made dumping much more difficult. I noticed many sites had the recently installed sewer inlets much too far back in the site. Really sad that a knowledgeable oversight of the sewer project could have prevented this mistake.
The worse problem we encountered was the potholes in the roads. In a large motorhome it was impossible to avoid and could really do some damage to a vehicle.
Considering all, we would probably not return to Hernando Point.

It looked like it was time for some spring cleanup (brush, tree limbs, grass cutting). We also were disappointed there was no playground for the kids (except for 2 swings). But we loved the location and the nice paved, flat roads in the park for bike riding. Also many of the sites were far enough apart to be comfortable so we were not too close to our neighbors. We plan to return!

Very nice setting, many waterfront sites. Restrooms and showers reasonably in good shape. Didn’t appear any site managers were on staff. Nice surprise was they had installed sewer connections
