Most sites are great, but there are a few that need leveling. More trees needed in some sunny and hot sites.

A nice well kept campground. All hookups worked great. It’s a shame about Arkabutla Lake and Dam not being what it used to be, but the campground is a great campsite.

We were on site 20 great site I know the lack of water is an issue, but we did have a breeze coming across the lake. Very quiet campground everyone is friendly, and rangers drive through checking on all campers.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds for a quick weekend getaway or a longer stay. Close to Hernando town square and they always seem to have events around the square. Shopping and Restaurants nearby.

We always have a great time when we camp at Hernando Point. The sites are not on top of each other. Some are spaced out. There are a few that are close. The only thing that I wish they had was air-conditioned in the bath house.
