Hernando Point, Hernando, MS

This review was written by the Young family
We have been avid campers for approximately 15 years now and we have stayed a number of different campgrounds over several different states. We started camping in tents like most of you and graduated through the years through pop-up’s, hybrids, and now our current towing trailer. We currently camp in a Jayco 287bhsw. Hernando Point is located just South of Hernando MS just a few miles off of Hwy 51 and the dead end of Wheeler Road. It sits directly on Arkabutla Lake which is one of several watershed lakes that Mississippi started implementing back in the 1920’s. Hernando point is a “Class A” campground having both 50 amp and 30 amp service with approximately 83 sites We live in Hernando so we have the obvious advantage of this campground being in our backyard so let me go ahead and get that fact out of way. Having said that Hernando Point is one of our most favorite campgrounds that we frequent for a number of reasons:

Cleanliness of the park and bathhouse

Distance between campsites

Parking pads are all somewhat level

Good variety of waterfront and non-waterfront sites

Park Road does not stack sites behind one another 

There are a few negatives to the campground such as the dump station being a good bit away from the campground so intermittent drop off to the dump station become annoying. Additionally the dumpster is also in my opinion too far away to be considered convenient. However as of September 2018 I am pleased to inform you that the Army Core has started revamping the sites one section at a time to upgrade from asphalt pads to concrete pads as well as install full sewer hookups. While I don't have an ETA of when the upgrade is to be complete, my understanding is they will be continually working until the project is complete one section at a time.
