Hernando Point Campground COE - Hernando, Mississippi

Campground ***

This is a fine campground, with wide, shady sites. The parking pads are level, but not super long.  The parking pad is asphalt, with a gravel boarder.  Unfortunately, the parking pad is much higher, (about 1'), than the grassy area, all the way around.  So, it was quite a challenge getting the xpens set up so they would stand up.  But, once we figured it out, we had a nice big yard.  The strange thing about this site is that the picnic table & BBQ grill are about 50' from the parking pad, so it was quite a "hike" to cook on the grill.

We made a reservation for a week, so we would get the weekly rate of $185, that was advertised on their web site.  When we arrived, the total for the 7 nights was $245.  He said they did away with the weekly rate about a month ago.  He did not mention this fact when I called to make the reservation.

Their grounds maintenance is lacking.  There were many weeds that were 3' - 5' tall in the spaces between our site and our neighbors.

They are building a very large 2 story house on the property, so the sound of construction is constant all day.

The sites we stayed at before this time are not as wide as we remembered them being.

We will probably not stay here again.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this campground.  It is REALLY nice. We love it!  The sites are wide, level, terraced, and semi-private, separated by some natural foliage.  Great for the dogs..

This campground might be fine for people who only have 1 or 2 dogs, or no dogs, but doesn't work for us at all.  Our site is VERY narrow, and on the side of a cliff.  There is NO yard space on the awning side.  

The concrete parking pad is only wide enough to have about 1' space on the driver side, and barely enough to make a "sidewalk" down the passenger side.  The ground next to the pad on the driver side barely has enough room to get to the utilities before it goes down a steep hill.  The ground on the passenger side is pine needles about 3" thick, and slopes up to the road.  The patio area is BEHIND the parking pad.  So, the dogs had very little yard area, since most of the xpens were used to make a walkway to lead to the patio area. 

When we first arrive, and saw how un-xpen-friendly this site was, we drove around and looked at all the other available sites.  As it turned out, our site was the BEST!  So, we will not be staying here again.  We had reserved this site for 2 weeks.  But, we only stayed 4 nights, then moved to Campground at Barnes Crossing in Tupelo.

We stayed at the campground last year, in site #6.  That site had NO afternoon shade.  This site has GREAT afternoon shade!  The site is HUGE, with enough room for all 7 xpens.  There is some green space and a road on the driver's side, and across that road is the bathhouse.  On the awning side, there is a huge green space between our site and the swim beach.  The site is also very long, so we are quite a way back from the road.  The only problem is that we had to pull quite a ways into the site across the street to be able to back into this site.  But this is a great site!

2 weeks 5/27 - 6/10/2022

This is a nice site, with good shade and access to the water.  Connor went swimming, but no fish were caught.  It is across from the boat parking lot.

 

Site 74 looks like it would also be good.  There is a spot next to the big tree where the portable satellite dish can go.  It also has a trail that leads down to the water.  There are also a couple of places where cars could park on the grass if the lot is full.

 

Upon leaving site 75, we discovered that it was VERY difficult to get past the tight curve on the loop road.  There is a 6" drop off on the passenger side of the curve.  Mike had to back up a couple of times to make the turn.

Below are photos of site 75.

This is a nice campground, and the site we stayed in was GREAT!!  It has plenty of room for all 7 xpens, has nice packed soil, has a great view of the lake, perfect afternoon shade, secluded, and easy in and out.  We would like to come back sometime and stay in this site longer than just the one night we are here this time.

This is a nice campground, with long, level gravel sites, with great grass.  Some sites are wider than others.  Our site was nicely wide.  Large enough that we could put out 6 xpens.

They did not ask about pets when we checked in, and had a dog on the front porch of the office.

No trees.

This was for a Blue Ridge rally.  The sites are nice & wide, and plenty long.  We got an end site, so we had enough room to put out 6 xpens, but we could have put out almost that many at a different site.  Nice grass.

Their web site said that they charge $3 per night, per dog.  But, they did not even ask about pets when Mike called to make the reservation, or when we checked in.
