A picturesque campground situated among cypress stands along the bank of Owl Creek, Hickory Landing provides easy access to the Apalachicola River. There are 10 sites with picnic table and grill. ACTIVITIES Boating: Hickory Landing, on Owl Creek, is another excellent put-in for the two-mile trip to the Apalachicola River. Owl Creek is deep and wide, lined by the beautiful river swamp habitat of the Apalachicola floodplain. Camping: Campsites have picnic tables and grills. Vault toilet nearby. Hiking: Access to the Wright Lake Trail, a 4.6-mile loop. Wildlife Viewing: Excellent birding.
From Sumatra, take SR 65 south for 1.6 miles. Turn right (west) on Forest Road 101 and go 1.5 miles. Turn Left (south) on Forest Road 101B and go one mile to hunt camp entrance. Turn right on Forest Road 101 and go 1.2 miles to Hickory Landing
Great camping location with minimum necessities. Flowing sulfur water well and deep well toilet. No shower but wrights lake around the corner has one for a small fee.
Hickory Landing is located close to the Wright Lake Campground. It is rustic with vault toilets and trash bin. The water is a high sulfur content and you should fill at the Wright Lake Campground. You can also use the bath house at wright lake for a small fee. Unfortunatley, the Apachicola National Forest service does a poor job of maintaining and enforcing the site rules. There is supposed to be a $3.00 fee per night and 14 day maximum stay as per N.P. rules. This is not enforced as there are local homeless living there.
Absolutely love this quiet little spot. Didn't need to make a reservation. Just pulled up, paid a little drop box and found the perfect spot for the night. Very secluded with water near by. If you have a small boat this would be a perfect little spot for you. Outside shower and a toilet pit but very clean. Thank you for a perfect getaway from civilization.
Beautiful and the fish are there little spooky at night and id leave my dog at home, just sayin
