There is a boat ramp so you want to be away from boaters. Boaters equal noise and drunkenness in my experience. The sites are asphalt pads. The road is wide and back in was easy. Our site was level, had a fire ring, BBQ grill, patio and nice new picnic table, and view of the lake. There are lots of trees and even though the lake is about 8ft low, it's still nice looking. There is a good amount of space between sites. Our loop doesn't have ramadas but most of the other sites do. I was all set to give this park a great rating, until I saw the bathrooms. The restroom buildings look nice from the outside, from a distance. They are concrete block and the outsides are finished with flagstone. But as you get closer you see that all the exposed wood is rotted and has peeling paint. Inside they are worse. Worn and peeling paint, sheets of plywood used to cover up holes cut into the concrete block walls to repair plumbing, overflowing and leaking toilets. Sewage, trash and TP on the floor. Several showers have broken handles and are unusable, and though they have doors all the curtains are gone. Very poorly maintained. My wife refused to use them. I took a shower, water got just warm, no where near hot, but had good enough pressure. Some of the shelves are broken and there is exposed wall surface in the showers. There is a path that leads to the bathrooms, but it is unmarked, and the asphalt surface is worn and full of potholes. Park was not easy to navigate, no signs indicating where the exits were. No signs telling you where trails and paths lead. Our site had trash in it on our arrival. There is also visible erosion of sites, walkways, patios and BBQ bases, and no one replenishes the dirt. Go a couple of blocks and there is blight, bars, tattoo parlors, and extremists. Park is very unsafe, no police presence or enforcement rangers.

Hickory Creek is 4 miles from my home. I used to think, "Why do people go to parks so close to their home?" Because it's great to get away and run home if needed. So, if we just need a change of scenery without a long trip, we book here. Hickory Creek is the best park I've stayed in (but haven't stayed in more than 10 parks). Shella (I think), the entrance attendant is very nice and personable (sometime rare in park employees). Sites are always clean, great views of the lake, fellow travelers are nice, amazing long hiking trails are available where primitive camping is. I love it!
