posted by AmericanRV @ 8:54am, Tuesday 7 February 2012.

Not too far from Olive Branch, Mississippi sits 11,000 acres of water providing all types of  family fun activities. Hernando Lake is a popular weekend destination for local families, and families traveling through. Actually part of Arkabutla Lake, Hernando Point recreation area is a campground situated on the waterfront in the hills of Northwest Mississippi. Families can enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking. Whitetail deer, quail, wild turkey, and waterfowl are known to roam about, and the campgrounds are surrounded by a mixture of oak, hickory, beech, sweet gum, and birch trees. The lake offers great fishing for the angler in the family, with fish varieties such as large mouth bass, bream, catfish, and crappie (some as large as three pounds). There are 83 paved  RV spots with some running 30 or 50 amp electricity. There is also a dump station, and bathroom with showers  located on the grounds. For the kids, there is a playground, and for kids of all ages, a swimming beach when the warmer weather arrives. You’ll want to make reservations in advance, especially if you’re after a site with electricity.  
There are some great local attractions nearby as well. If you like disk golf, you’ll want to check out The Lost Indian Spring Disk Golf Course. 18 holes and free to the public! Just 30 minutes away is Memphis, TN. where you can enjoy visiting Graceland and have the ultimate rock -n- roll experience. You can tour the mansion of Elvis Presley, stroll through his car museum, and you can even step inside his custom designed jet, "The Lisa Marie". 
But that’s not all Memphis has to offer... You can visit YaYa the giant panda at the Memphis Zoo. Everyone loves the zoo, and this zoo has plenty of exhibits to visit, and is definitely worth taking the time to spend the day there.
