We stayed at Hernando Point for 2 days. It was a very nice campground. The sites are spacious. The restrooms and shower house were clean and maintained. The site was fairly level. Sewer and electrical hookups were easily accessible. No issues with slide clearance. The pad next to the concrete pad was gravel and was very large. We were able to setup a canopy right on the gravel pad and still had plenty of room. The location is close to hiway 55 so if you’re passing through it is a convenient stop. I would recommend staying at Hernando Point if you are in the area.

The only thing about this park is the lake is drained and people like to ride the lake bed after quiet hours

Got to see 2 bald eagles in a nest. Great view 👌 . Great place to stay for a few days or more. I'd would have loved to stay there longer than I did.

The campground was well maintained, and the sites were generous. For folks wanting to go into Memphis, it was an easy drive, yet the campground provided the best of country camping. We spent our time with family from the area we hadn't seen in decades, and thoroughly enjoyed the wide open space. The facilities were very clean. We will definitely book a stay there if we are ever in the area again, and highly recommend it to other campers.
