What campers say

Hickory Creek Campground offers scenic lakeside sites with roomy, well-spaced campsites and easy online reservations. Visitors commonly mention friendly gate staff, nearby stores about a mile away, pleasant trails and frequent wildlife. Most sites provide water and electric hookups and a shared dump station; there are no sewer hookups. Grounds and common areas are generally kept tidy, but restroom and shower facilities show recurring maintenance issues—uneven hot water, slow drains, missing fixtures and occasional insects—so it’s wise to check showers before settling in. Overall, a relaxed, family-friendly park with good views but some tradeoffs in facilities.
