We had a great time. Our spot was close to bathroom & showers. Had a beautiful view of lake. We have been going there for 5 years, & we always enjoy it. Hosts were very nice, & we always meet very nice people there when camping.🥰. Harvey & Tracy Davis

We always have a great relaxing time at camp. Hickory Creek provides some spacious sites..some beautiful sunrise's and it's somewhat easy to navigate, even with some of the larger 5th wheels. The park attendants are usually very friendly and a good source of information.

The upside was the campground itself was beautiful but only two restrooms for the entire Campground and they were not very clean in fact the ladies restroom was unbearable kind of a kind of a bummer

Park is nice. Bathrooms are horrific and a disgrace. Black mold growing significantly in mens shower areas. Word is they lost their cleaning contract, so noone cleans it. BAD!

We managed to get one of our favorite sites right by the lake. It has electric. There are several water faucets around the park to fill up your freshwater tank. There is also a dump station. There is a camp host at the campground. Reservations can be made online.
