Review Summary

VerifiedOctober 23, 2021 • Stayed at: 09, Loop: HERNANDO POINT
We stayed in site 09. The site was paved and was easy to level after backing in. Although we did not have a campsite on the lake, we had a good view of the lake from our campsite. Campsites were well-spaced and many were right along the lake. Staff were friendly, the restrooms clean, and the park was quiet at night. The picnic tables at many of the sites were placed in odd places and often well-away from the trailer pad. My only reason,, though, for downgrading the campground was that our site had way too much litter. A slob had camped there before us. Cigarette butts along with various paper wrappers littered the ground and they left litter and garbage in the fire grate. It was the only campsite cluttered with litter in our 8000 miles of travel. I did not observe litter in other campsites, but the litter in our campsite was a real turn-off, otherwise I would have given this campground more stars.

Trails were closed. Bathhouse was filthy. Everyone was friendly however. It was nice to have all the hookups we needed for the RV. Beautiful views.

Ants, Ants and more Ants!!!
We were in a site by the water for one night and the next morning there were ants all over our trailer.
They got in around our entry door and stairs, slide seals and crawled up the power cable and water hose.
It took us over a week to get them all killed and took hours removing items so we could kill them and spray for those we couldn't see.
If you stay here (we won't again) spray everything that touches the ground on your RV and truck.

We stayed is site 02. It needs some work. It was a fairly level spot for the camper but has you stepped out of the camper it was a huge hill going down. It was hard just to walk down on it was so strap. The picnic table was down on the bottom of the hill.
