We were only there two nights. Our campsite was nice as we expected. Big disappointment was there was no lake. Pictures and descriptions still speak as if there is a lake. There is a blue link that says important information but it does not work. I guess we should have called. We still enjoyed our time there, drove into Memphis and explored. I understand that it will be 7-9 years before they can repair dam and start refilling the lake.

Was their 3 days and no one checked us in our asked if things where ok. Had a broken picnic table, would have been nice if told or text emailed something about draining the lake to fix the dam. Before we arrived, found out from other campers that where there that it was drained months before. Just sad no communications and no contact at the park till we were leaving.

There is no lake, but this was a great one-night stop location. As with most campgrounds, the showers / bathrooms need some updating. These were kept clean so that was a plus. We liked it enough to book it for our trip home as well.

Surely wish there was a lake there, but it's still a pleasant view.

Site 30. Made reservations online. It showed most sites I thought would be easier access to be reserved already. It ended up the park was about 85% empty and a lot of easier sites to get into were empty. Website said it was good for 53 foot rig and 2 vehicles. I ended up having to drive on the grass a little to get a 36 foot 5th wheel in. Someone before me had already run the site number post over. I found site 31 post in my way. The lake was drained, so any lake activities were dashed. When I tried to look up the alerts for this park I got a message that the page didn't exist. Other than the tight entry and no lake, the park was pretty nice. Standard COE fare.

Great site, neighboring sites nice distance from ours. Disappointed in seeing the lake drained and learning it may be 9 years before refilling takes place. Nevertheless, we’ll be back to explore Hernando.

Enjoyed our stay. Campground is well maintained and showers were clean with lots of water pressure and hot water. Only thing I would change is the shower heads are short and mounted really close to the wall. We had to stand too close to the wall to be under the water. I also wish there was a gate attendant. Lake level was really low and I hope one day it will be full again. This will be a busy park again when that happens.

Very nice sites, long and level. Power is good. Unfortunately there is no lake for the near future. We did not use the bathhouses so cannot rate them. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and peaceful setting. Bathrooms and showers could use an upgrade but adequate. Easy to book and easy to find.
