The 4.6 out of 5 star rating drew my attention initially - only 1 other nearby campground had such a high rating. Their very reasonable rates might've been what ultimately drew me in and why Hickory Lake Campground ended up being our destination for camping this past weekend. I also appreciated the speedy email response I got from the owner when I wrote late in the evening to inquire about availability of accommodations (thanks Mike).

No hidden taxes or fees - just the rates they publish on their site. And their prices within the campground are very reasonable too (e.g. a nice big bag of ice is only $1.50). Friendly staff and a very fun crowd can be found in the rec hall each evening. On our 1st night they had bingo; the 2nd night there was a DJ and a dance party. Lots of fun for my 8-year old niece who was with us - she found lots of other kids to play with. Although we were just weekenders all the regular campers made us feel very much at home.

I enjoyed swimming laps in their nice big pool. Very refreshing!

All-in-all I give the place a thumbs-up. I'd definitely go back again.

We were in my 2007 Northwood Nash 25 S travel trailer at campsite F 2. Thanks Hickory Lake!!
