Campsite: Hickory Lake Campground

This location is definitely catered to long-term "seasonal" campers as opposed to weekend campers.

If you are expecting the KOA type experience, you're going to be disappointed. Although there is a spigot and portapotty down a long (rocky, not maintained) dirt road from the tent sites, the actual bathrooms and showers are quite far from the tents. Most of the RVs look permanent with dilapidated decks.

However, if you're interested in more primitive camping, the tent sites are secluded and lovely. They are at the very back of the campsite and we were the only tent campers there (so we couldn't see anyone). All the appeal of back country camping on a safe property and with some comforts like warm showers.

You really do need to be careful driving down the dirt road to the tent sites though. I was expecting a typical smooth grated dirt road, but was not prepared for the jutting giant rocks smashing the bottom of my little sedan.

The showers looked like they weren't cleaned often, but they were private and had hot water (which is more than can be said for some other camping locations).

There was no one in the office when I arrived, but man working when I got there late in the evening was kind and accommodating. I had been told by phone the previous day that I could do check in at morning if no one was there when I arrived (I knew I'd be getting in late.) The man I did see (on my search for open tent sites) opened the office to check me in, and gave me a map of the grounds. He also brought the wood I purchased up to the tent site I picked for me.

They have events in the rec hall for a community atmosphere if you're into that. Kids were running around together, which was nice to see.

I prefer secluded camping, so I personally liked this campground.
