Hernando Point offers lakeside camping access within a 45-minute drive of Robinsonville, Mississippi. The campground features paved, level sites positioned along Lake Arkabutla with full hookup options at many locations. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-50°F, while summer months see highs in the 90s with high humidity and occasional afternoon thunderstorms.
What to do
Fishing at Lake Arkabutla: The lake at Hernando Point provides year-round fishing opportunities with multiple access points. "The lake was low, low, low. As there were only about 5 other campers there, we had our choice of sites! Although we could have had a waterfront site, we chose 75 as it was quite large and private," notes camper Bran P.
Disc golf at Wall Doxey: The 18-hole course winds through pine forests and offers varying difficulty levels for players of all skills. "The highlight for us is the disc golf course that winds through the pine forest," shares Brandon R., though he cautions: "If you are camping here anytime during the warmer months, be ready to pick ticks off of everyone!"
Hiking the Trail of Tears: Village Creek State Park Campground maintains preserved sections of the historic trail with interpretive signage. "There is a particularly stunning trail that includes one of the most well-preserved sections of the Trail of Tears. This made for both a lovely hike and a history lesson for our seven year old," explains Laura G.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Dub Patton Campground receives praise for its site layout and privacy. "Clean and quiet CG with spacious sites," notes Daryl J. Another camper adds: "Site 9 and site 10 are by far the most beautiful sites in the camp in my opinion. They are right on the lake and relatively separate from the other sites."
Clean facilities: Restrooms and shower buildings at Wall Doxey State Park maintain high standards despite being older structures. "The bathrooms are old, but clean. I'm leery of old bathrooms, but I can make this one work," shares Shana D. Another review confirms: "The bathrooms were clean and stocked."
Reasonable pricing: Many campgrounds near Robinsonville offer competitive rates for their amenities. "Each site has electric and water, but still only $20," mentions CJ W. about lakefront sites at Hernando Point. Senior discounts further reduce costs at some locations, with one camper noting: "For the price it can't be beat. We paid senior price $16."
What you should know
Limited cell coverage: Some campgrounds have spotty service depending on carrier. At Village Creek State Park Campground, one camper reports: "We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!"
Seasonal insect challenges: Tick prevention is essential during warmer months, particularly at wooded sites. "If you are camping here anytime during the warmer months, be ready to pick ticks off of everyone!" warns one camper about the pine forest areas.
After-hours check-in: EZ Daze RV Park and other locations use self-service systems. "When we arrived it was during the day and the office was open, yet all the registrations had been put out in the late check-in box for us to grab and go on our way," notes one camper. Another adds: "Box on door had about 7 registration slips so we guessed there were probably that many spots available."
Tips for camping with families
Halloween events: Wall Doxey State Park Campground hosts special seasonal activities that draw families. "We were invited to the Halloween get together at the park. And we had no idea it was such a big deal. Every camp site had wonderful decorations and the kids had such a blast," shares Fred S.
Water activities: Multiple lakes offer kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing opportunities for children with rental equipment available. "There are 3 camping areas, two lakes, and a gorgeous golf course!" reports Linda A. about Village Creek State Park's family-friendly water options.
Playgrounds: Most campgrounds include play areas, though quality varies. "The playground could use an update, but it does the job keeping the kids entertained," notes one camper about Wall Doxey's facilities. Another campground review mentions: "There are several playgrounds my son enjoyed & we had a blast doing the scavenger hunt."
Tips from RVers
Concrete pads: Memphis KOA provides level sites with full hookups. "The most Level site in our 6k mile trip," reports Kathy F. Another camper confirms the quality: "Sites are paved and full hookups at site. Nice view!"
Watch for narrow sites: Some campgrounds have tight spacing between units. "The sites are pretty cozy, but I have seen worse," notes one RVer about their experience, while another cautions about tree placement: "We came in with a 38' RV not much problem with spaces but be aware of trees on both sides of spaces."
Highway noise considerations: Locations near interstates may experience traffic sounds. "Surprisingly quiet for being right on hwy 40," shares Nicholas L. about Memphis KOA, though other reviews note the proximity to highways can create ambient noise at certain sites.
