This is a decent campground. It's very much "suburban camping," meaning it's certainly not wilderness, the campsites are really close together, and not much between you and your neighbor. Probably better for RV than rent camping. But being close to town, it was easy to get to the many activities available in Fayetteville.

It's very much "suburban camping," meaning it's certainly not wilderness, the campsites are really close together, and not much between you and your neighbor. Probably better for RV than rent camping. But being close to town, it was easy to get to the many activities available in Fayetteville. Bathrooms were a bit more than walking distance from our campsite, but pretty clean. Had 50 amp, 30 amp, and 110v outlets at each site. Also had a picnic table and grate over the for pit for cooking.

We always have a great relaxing time at camp. Hickory Creek provides some spacious sites..some beautiful sunrise's and it's somewhat easy to navigate, even with some of the larger 5th wheels. The park attendants are usually very friendly and a good source of information.

We managed to get one of our favorite sites right by the lake. It has electric. There are several water faucets around the park to fill up your freshwater tank. There is also a dump station. There is a camp host at the campground. Reservations can be made online.
