Hickory Creek (TX)

We always love staying at Hickory Creek, but this trip was not what we expected. We arrived right after the 3 p.m. checkin time and headed for space 99. I unhooked our toad from our diesel pusher so I could back in to the space. When I pulled up, I was very surprised to see someone was in our spot! Never had that happen here before, so we drove back to the gatehouse and explained the situation. The attendant called the person in our spot, they said they would move “in 20 minutes”. 40 minutes later, my wife knocked on their door to see what was going on. The lady there said she “got her days mixed up”. We wound up waiting over 90 minutes for her to hook up her travel trailer. By the time we got in and set up, it was getting dark, and we had hoped to unload some things from our coach so we could put it up for sale. So, that first day was ruined, and we had to really beat feet to get everything done, as I am handicapped, so a bit slow walking and doing the stairs. Obviously not all the campground’s fault, but someone coming by after the checkout time to assure folks leave when they’re supposed to would help! But usually, this place is great, and our go-to for local camping.

No sewer hookups is the only thing I did not like, everything else is wonderful.

Hickory Creek is my go to. I’m fairly new to rv camping and stay local for now. There are a lot of camping options within a 50 mile radius of me, but I prefer Hickory Creek. Most sites are large and many are water front. You can’t beat the price either. A couple drawbacks are no playgrounds for the kids or a designated swim/beach area. Upgraded fire pits, picnic tables & grills need to be completed. Last year they closed down for 6 months so do these upgrades, but only maybe half or less have been completed. I love the 2:00 check out time and staff is great!

Love the wildlife, the lake, and so much more. Good facilities for showers. Close to town and some really great restaurants close by. My wife and I stayed there so we could be close by the Cancer Center at UT Southwest Health. It did get cold three nights and we had to wait for the pipes to unfreeze before we could be back to normal. But the spots were level and the area was beautiful.

We always enjoy our time when we camp at Hickory Creek. It would be nice if the playground would come back. Also, a designated swimming beach would be nice.

We stay at Hickory Creek in our RV every time we come down to DFW to visit family. The facilities and sites are well maintained and the staff is always extremely friendly. This is without a doubt the best campground in the area!

plenty of premium sites with views and good separation

1st time with an RV ever and found it very enjoyable. People friendly location.

A wilderness campground oasis in the middle of town! We saw a lot of deer and birds there. Other than the planes flying into and out of DFW airport, it was amazingly quiet. Water and electric are on site, a dump station is available. The sites were mostly level although some we saw (did not use them) would take extended blocks for leveling. We were there in the winter so we did not use the lake. The gate was manned and we felt quite secure there.
When we return to the area again, we will not hesitate to camp here again.

Hickory Creek is a great place to stay. We were visiting our son who lives in Denton and had a rented camper trailer. Although we were only 10 minutes from our son, it felt like we were out in the country. Great views of Lewisville lake. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom facilities were good - large shower/dressing areas. Each camper spot had a picnic table, charcoal grill and fire pit. We had a couple of nice fires there with wood we purchased at the nearby Albertsons. We will definitely stay there again! We could hear a little bit of traffic noise, but not bad. The park is in an airplane flight path, so there were some planes overhead now and again.
