    We had a wonderful stay at this campground recently and it quickly became one of our favorites…read more It's off the beaten trail, with not alot to do nearby, but the campground provided enough activities and amenities to keep us entertained. They also do not have cable, which is usually a deal breaker for us, but we managed to keep busy. I do think we would have had a different experience had our campsite been in a different location. We travel with grand-kids so we like to be close to the pool, playgrounds, etc. Our location was not only right across from the pool, but easily walk-able to the playground, store, cafe, and pavilion where events are often held. Our spot had a strange layout, but did have ample parking for two vehicles, and our favorite feature was the charming stream that ran through our site. The girls liked to frolic in it and catch the "resident" frog. The one morning we were welcomed by a large crane bird mere feet away from our camper, what a sight! Our girls were in awe! However, we did find that people would come unto our site to visit the stream or short cut to the pool, which I felt was a little rude. One reason I say our experience would have been different had we been positioned elsewhere is because we don't care for rustic, wooded lots, or long steep walks to amenties. This campground has very few lots that aren't heavily wooded. The roads leading to the sites are often rough and narrow. They do rent golf carts, which is something to keep in mind. I'd suggest reserving one at the time of booking your stay. The office/store staff were nice, always busy, a tad slow, but totally understaffed. The store is open from 8 am to 11 pm and the hub of the campground as they preform a number of duties, in addition to opening/closing the gate (which I do wonder how that's handled when they're closed) and cashiering the store. The pools were clean and spacious. There was a bigger one going up to 5 feet deep, and a small circular one for very small kids. There's a covered pavilion with a piano to play, and some of the activities are held here. The playground is adjacent to the pools, and was nicely equipped, although some equipment was older, and featured a large sandy area (bring your own sand toys). The highlight, and what set this campground apart was the cafe, serving a variety (a large menu actually!) of food and hand dipped ice cream. It had a diner feel inside, but also covered picnic tables to eat outside while watching your kids play. The picnic tables were old and splintery so do bring a blanket if wearing shorts. The prices were very reasonable and I loved that they had long hours. The teenage staff were pleasant and efficient too. Some of the activities included cash bingo, kids bingo (free!), a fire truck ride, and a glow candy hunt. While they post a theme on their webpage, the actual activities aren't posted (on a wipe board outside the office) till that Friday. Do take a picture of it when you come in and refer to it as needed. The campground also had wifi - which they admitted was poor. We relied on our Tmobile service all weekend which was fine. A fishing pond (we checked out but didn't fish but there was a huge white carp literally 3 feet long in there!), as well as the famous blue rocks. While some people climbed the rocks we stayed on the perimeter as it went for as far as the eye can see and didn't look safe. Our site did not have sewer, but I opted for honey pot service ($10 cash paid directly to worker) that I asked for and prearranged. Other sites did have sewer. Overall a great experience and campground. Some things I think they could do better - more than one worker in the store, activities on a handout, better upkeep of the roads inside the campground, update some of the older equipment at the playground, and seal the picnic tables. The hits for me: the cafe is pretty awesome (and accepted plastic!), the activities were cool, the bathouse by the pool was modern and exceptionally clean, and they had recycle bins for various types of waste ( a campground first!) SIDENOTE: There's also a small fenced in playground for smaller kids, and a "hot rod" garage, which consisted of old cars - you can poke around if you want, but look and don't touch!

    This review is for the hiking trails and the blue rocks. We parked at the blue rocks family…read morecampgrounds in order to access the blue rocks site. It was $8 per person to hike. They took down our information and gave us a map of the hikes. We went on the blue hike and cut across onto the red path to go back down on the yellow path. The blue hike was very well marked with a few other parties on it. There were some narrow parts of the hike where we had to wait for others to pass. The terrain is very rocky with big rocks. There was mud and some creek water as well. It's best to wear hiking boots that protect the ankles. The red path was not well marked and we definitely went the wrong way. Luckily we still ended up at the campsite but it was a bit confusing. Overall still a very fun day! The hike was shaded so perfect for a summer outing.

    If you don't mind the terrain - which can be a bit unstable - then this is a hike you'll enjoy!…read more The river runs right next to it. I parked at the "Devils" parking entrance. There's a tiny bridge as well as a very iffy hike alongside. I had my deaf and blind dog along with me so I couldn't do too much as I was afraid he'd fall down the side into the river. I hear that just past this parking area there's a beach? That should be cool. I'm actually on my way back there this morning to check it out. Bring water and bug spray cause I can only imagine the mosquitos, etc., that are there in late Spring and during Summertime. Enjoy!! Happy hiking.

    I've camped at Hickory Run a few times and although this time there were some updates, there were…read moresome major downfalls. I stayed in the organized group camping area and loved how the sites that we booked allowed for plenty of tents to spread out within your group. We stayed in J, K and L. Last year there were porter potties and this year there was a bathhouse. Sadly there were no showers, the family bathroom was locked all weekend, and maintence getting to the bathroom was not good. Wehad to walk through a field of knee high grass to get there. During peak tick season, this was not ideal. Lastly, quiet hours apparently do not exist this is area of camping. Groups around us were chanting and singing before 5am and had an intense volleyball match at 6am. Boyscotts camped near us and were up late screaming until 12am. There needs to be more ranger presence, this truly altered our experience. The state park itself has great hiking and swimming area but the organized group sites were very mismanaged.
