We stayed at this campground for a week while visiting family, so I cant comment on the lake itself in terms of boating or fishing. The sites are paved, most seemed to have various amounts of shade. The best sites are definitely lakeside some with a patio area, in talking with fellow campers they are booked at least a year in advance by locals. Those sites on the opposite side of the road range from full shade to zero shade, some with a covered picnic table, acceptably level to are you kidding? Ours unfortunately was possibly the worst site in the campground. It was on a hillside with zero shade, steep driveway with pavement just a couple feet wider than the camper and an immediate drop off on what should be the camp side which was only a few feet from the road. Between the nose of the camper being high in the air and the side drop off our front door was unusable as the fold-down steps were 18 away from touching the ground at max extension. If not for our rig having a second, rear bedroom entry we could not have stayed at this fully booked campground. Even those steps required an extra folding stool to reach the first step! The uncovered picnic table and fire pit were uphill and behind the camper on a small concrete pad just large enough. The only semi flat area with shade to set up chairs was under some trees another 30 plus feet uphill from the utility side of the camper, next to the playground. The bath house was in a word, disgusting. For starters it needed an interior paint job 10 years ago, the ceiling on the mens side was rotting, the urinal apparently non functional and full of urine, only two showers and two toilet stalls all in serious need of attention. There was no toilet paper for a couple of days, for some inexplicable reason there was feces on the floor and wall for more than a day. The shower stalls are too small, no dry area for your clothes, towel or shoes and no bench. Water temp and pressure good. Excellent camp hosts.

The campsites around us were located a comfortable distance apart, giving us privacy and cutting down on noise from our neighbors. Overall the park was clean and well maintained. We were pleased with the condition of the restroom/shower building.
There were dozens and dozens of spots where the droppings of small dogs had been left on the ground of our campsite. They were especially heavy in the grassy area where the tent had to be set up.
Also, there was no cover over the picnic table. Some sites had one and others did not.

Missed having a park attendant of whom I could inquire to get information about the area. It was our first time to camp in Hickory Creek and it would have been nice to be able to ask someone w where to get bait, the best spots to fish this time of year, and what to fish for.
