A forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
Recreation at Hernando Point centers on water activities and the wider Arkabutla Lake area. The dam project on the Coldwater River creates steady breezes that make this stretch of water noted for excellent sailing, and anglers target largemouth bass, crappie (the lake is known for large crappie), bream and catfish.
Length limits vary by campsite.

“Very nice campground, all campsites are nicely spaced apart. Restrooms very clean. Campground volunteer, Mary, was very friendly and shared some helpful information about the area. ”
“Campsite #81 was extremely clean and nice. The playground and bathrooms were right next to the sight and was big plus for us. The only negative thing I can say is the bright white lights by the bathroom, it made our site feel like we were in the middle of the day at night.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (26,921 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
77 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
