My wife and I love Hernando Point. I am a crappie guide and when Arkabutla Lake is steady it has some monster fish. Itβs also about 20 to 25 minutes to restaurants shopping and movie theaterβs in Southaven MS

This was our first night ever in our 'new to us' Winnebago Micro Minni RV. As a matter of fact it was our first time ever setting up an RV camper. The facilities and spot were easy to find and easy to connect to. Site 58 was level enough that we didn't have to do anything to level our camper.
It was a very good first experience.

Hernando point is a nice, well maintained campground. There are 3 bath houses strategically located, that are kept warm in the winter. Cell reception varies throughout the park from no reception to 4 bars, depending upon the location. Some of the sites get very soggy in wet weather. Fortunately, I was not in one of them. The one thing that I do not like is all the lighting. There are several bright street lights and a light on the power hub of each site. They make it so you can not turn that light off. I come to camp to be in nature, not to feel like I am in the city.

We love Army Core Of Engineering campgrounds. This one did not disappoint. The campsite was large and clean and best of all overlooked the water. It was very quiet at night and overall a very pleasant stay.
