Love this place. Always clean camp sites! Bathrooms are nice, considering mud on the floors but to be expected after a weekend of rain. Have been a few times and will be back!!! Love this place!!! Wish I could find a site to post an awesome pic of my daughter at the Shades of Death trail dam/waterfall!!! A must see!!!
Thank you again and all your hard work. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Thanks Zac!
Very nice — our first camp since COVID-19. Do wish people would follow the Mask Required signs on bathroom doors though. The print needs to be larger! People said they didn’t see a sign — the one girl said she’d been using it for days and didn’t see it ! Duh!!!
Site 314 was where I stayed with my Golden. It’s flat and in the trees. Sites across are not in trees. If you want the most privacy in the campground, I’d choose 308, 310, 312, or 314 if you have a dog and don’t need electricity.
There are several State Parks in the Poconos and they are each of them are special for different reasons. I believe Hickory Run had the most amount of hikes to do. I have done several of them and they are very nice. The campground is always well maintained and it has the absolute BEST campstore. They have recently completed a new state-of-the-art nature museum!
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the good info! And for sure I need to visit that camp store next time I’m passing through.
We’ve been going to Hickory Run since the 1980s. It is the best place to camp, always clean and it has that summer camp feel. The place is well taken care of; good drainage on the sites, great fire rings and aging but still usable picnic tables. We have many great memories of this place!
