Great campground only negative is grass needed cutting and bathrooms needed cleaning and no toilet paper!

Bathhouse was fairly dirty. Picnic tables were metal and nice. No one was in office or would answer phones when our spot was taken.

This was my very first time camping at any National campground (I am a complete Noobie when it comes to this). With that said, Hernando COE was hands down Excellent! 4 Stars because they are still cleaning up from a tornado last year and Hernando has only been reopened about 2 months. Looks like every site has full hook ups! Sites are big, mostly level and all ahve lots of trees and nature! This is a hidden gem and I will be back!

Loved the campground...Our site #18 was huge & had a great view of the lake...You can tell they have been working hard to renovate the grounds and it's still a little muddy from all the dirt work & construction...But nothing we couldn't work around...

Little shade, water at the site was dirty looking, there was no where to pull the boat in aside from the dock itself.

Appreciate the efforts the COE made to re-open the CG. However, many sites have no ground cover and are very muddy. We couldn’t sit outside or use grill or fire pit. We stayed in site 48; while dumping tanks sewage began flowing out of the septic tank from the manhole between our site and the rig next to us. Recommend, if possible, you drive through the park to look at potential sites before reserving as some sites fared better than others during the tornado.

Standing water, grass too high could not use picnic tables, large ant hills around water source. Bath houses fully air conditioned (great).
