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.

The campsites are awesome and the staff is friendly. However I am concerned about what we were told is about to happen.
While we were there some volunteers came by and placed a metal picnic table on our site. We had selected the site because it had a concrete pad that allowed us to set up our pop up clamshell dining fly without being in the grass (which was high because of the rain) and thus less bug infested. However the volunteers said the table was going to be bolted down right in the middle of th pad, which will make it unusable for our shelter. Will be disappointing if we can’t use our shelter anymore ☹️

Nice, peaceful two weeks spent at Hernando Point on site 22. We were impressed with the upgrades to the playground and the small lake as you come into the campground. The new camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. Even though there is no lake at the moment, it is still a very pretty view and the eagles with their youngsters made it a lot of fun to eagle watch. They were mowing the campground when we arrived and mowing again when we left. I'm so glad Hernando Point is being kept up and looked after better. Way to go, Corps and Rangers!

Site 38: shade most the day. Large pad. Easy hookups. Beautiful large park with sites widely spaced from other sites. Didn't use bathroom so no review for those, although one looked brand new. Took about 20 minutes to get to the main highway. As announced, the lake bed is dry. Very quiet!
