Hickory Creek (TX)

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Hickory Creek is well maintained… it is always clean and the staff are so helpful and friendly…the feeling of community is there. I always look forward to coming back. The lakeview is beautiful. Close to stores and local restaurants.

If tent camping i would definitely look at the site before buy but we had an amazing time lovely views easy to find bathrooms.

The convenience of this park can't be beat for locals like me. Stay here often and on this particular trip - I pulled up to my camper around 4pm on day 4 of a 5-day trip to the park host in the drive telling me I needed to leave. It seems the day added to our original trip online was a day later and someone else had reservations that night. This was all missed as I went in and out of the park earlier, so the park host and I were both surprised. Unfortunately for us, the folks with the reservations that night wouldn't take another site - so, our 33 ft. rig, 3 dogs, 2 cars and bikes had to go.

First off, totally my fault with the reservations. Secondly, the park host was professional, courteous and offered us another spot for the rest of our stay. Heck, it was already well past check out/in times and the interaction was nothing but nice. And lastly, you can bet we'll be back. Good park, good people.
