Hickory Point RV Park is such a gem! The water views are absolutely gorgeous — the kind that make you slow down, breathe deep, and just enjoy the moment. The park is spotless, quiet, and beautifully kept — you can tell they really care about making it special. The office staff is so friendly and welcoming — they truly make you feel at home. One evening they even grilled hotdogs and had s’mores for everyone — such a sweet, old-fashioned touch that made the whole stay even more memorable. It’s the perfect escape for anyone who loves great views, good company, and a clean, peaceful place to unwind. We can’t wait to come back!

Stayed for a couple of nights in October and were very impressed. The campground is very well maintained. Although it is small many of the sites are of good size for big rigs. The office person was very nice a helpful. She escorted us to our site and made sure we were comfortable. Our site number 116 was shaded by big trees and roomy enough for our motor home and toad. The utilities worked well and located conveniently. This is not a resort as they have no pool or laundry. But if you’re into boating or just looking out over the water it’s great. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to spend some time exploring Tarpon Springs.

We have camped many places around Florida but this will now be our “go to” camp site. Such a beautiful place being right on the river. They also have a very nice dog park. The office staff and Manager, Christopher, are all so friendly and accommodating. We loved meeting the owner’s daughter, Kate. Just a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

The staff is amazing. The campsites are spacious. The ones that look out on the water are just breathtaking. Only campsite in North Pinellas county that actually sits on water. The sites are clean and the furniture on the water sites really make a difference. I would definitely recommend this place.

This is my second time staying in this waterfront park and it was even better than the first. My site had a great view of the Anclote River and I could watch the boats come and go as well as beautiful sunsets and tons of shore birds. One night we drove about a mile and a half over to the Tarpon Springs side and had drinks in one great place and a delicious dinner at another waterfront restaurant. I would recommend this campground to anyone that enjoys Florida for what it really is. It’s close to everything and very quiet.
