Arkabutla Lake, Mississippi

Today we drove about 230 miles northeast and landed 30 miles south of Memphis at the Hernando Point Corps of Engineering Campground.  The campground lies along the shores of the 12,730 acre Arkabutla Lake.  The campground is less than 10 miles off I-55 and about 5 miles off of US 51 on Wheeler Road.

Payment of the $20 fee is on the honor system.  Sites are level and paved with table, grill, fire pit and lantern pole.  Some sites are on a bluff overlooking the lake while others are inland.  Most sites have some shade.  Some of the parking pads are raised so that there is a steep drop off to the table etc.  One needs to watch their step in the dark so as not to fall and/or twist an ankle.

Our site #21 is fairly typical.

Here is a view from our front door:

The campground has 83 sites and is listed as acceptable for RVs up to 40 feet.  Electric and water hookups are at each site.  A dump station is available.  Temperatures were in the mid-80s when we arrived so snow was not in evidence.  Shucks!
