We are newbies to camper with a small travel trailer. This location is close to where we live and when the partner has to work 5 1/2 days a week, it's convenient location for him to drive to work. I like the sites that have large spaces between them. I love going to the Farmers Market in Hernando on Saturday mornings. We've never had a bad experience at Hernando Point.

Everything was very nice. I am so happy I found this hidden gem!
I hope there are more full hookups with sewer next time. We truly enjoyed our stay but the mosquitoes in the camping area away from the water were vicious and my wife was not happy about that. Other than the skeeters everything was great. Please spray more often to allow us to enjoy the outdoors a little more.
