Nice spot. Neighbors are close though but not packed in. It was mostly quiet and enjoyable.

We were on site 52. The fire pit had a broken Tequila bottle in it along with several broken beer bottles & crushed beer cans. There were broken beer bottles around the outside of the fire pit & around the picnic table. There was trash on the site. There were more beer bottles, another Tequila bottle & trash in the woods behind the site. There were sheet metal screws on the pad. My wife & I picked up 1 1/2 bags of trash before we even started setting up. The fire pit smelled like urine. The bath house was dirty and in need of some upgrade (shower curtains, fix broken tile, unclog drains, etc.). At some point prior to our arrival someone had been eating ribs and throwing the bones on the ground. Our dog (9.7 lbs, 17 years old) found one and got it stuck in her esophagus and we had to rush her to our Vet. (Fortunately we live 30 minutes from Hernando Point so our Vet is near by.) One $1300 + operation & medication later she's fine.
Why didn't we tell the Camp Ground Host? Who knows where or who they were? We've camped at a number of Army COE camp grounds, state & national parks & a host has always come by, introduced themselves, checked on us, asked if everything was OK, etc. We always seen a trailer with a sign indicating this is where the host lives. Not at Hernando Point. If the host came by they never let us know who they were & we were unable to find a trailer with the host sign in front of it.
We've stayed there a few times in the past (before the renovation & tornado) & always enjoyed it. We were anxious for it to reopen this past June. We'd go down every 3 or 4 months to check on the progress. It sure has changed. Unfortunately for the worse.

There are no signs directing you to campsite numbers. But site numbers are clear on posts at each site. There is no Ranger or office personnel on duty. Just find your reserved site and set up camp.
You can get down to the beach waters edge by walking down behind campsites 1 and 2.

This is an amazing campground with full hookup. Some sites have gravel, some a concrete pad and others just dirt. No issues if it's dry out, but in moist seasons you'll want to avoid narrow sites with dirt. One of the prettiest campgrounds we have found in this area and we look forward to returning.

I loved that this campground is back up and running after the devastating tornado two years ago. With the exception of losing a lot of trees the campground was back to its old self. The full hook up was a very pleasant surprise! Hernando Point is a short drive from my home and love to spend quick get aways there
