We’ve stayed at Hitchcock several times since March of 2021. Our longest stay was for a week and our shortest was for one night. It’s FCFS and they accept cash or check upon check in. You can also pay by credit/debit card if the camp store is open. Ice and fire wood are available for sale. Tons of hiking trails and trees. You can hear cows mooing and I was surprised (during our stay in June) just how much air traffics there was, having increased a great deal since earlier months due to loosening of pandemic restrictions and air travel. Landing patterns for planes headed to Omaha’s Eppley Airfield often include the airspace over Hitchcock. That being said, it was never annoying to us. The ranger is very welcoming, friendly and willing to chat if you’re so inclined. They had a water issue when we were there last, but the ranger was excellent at communicating any and all interference caused by the repairs. We did not feel inconvenienced whatsoever. They do a great job of staying on top of any issues so that interruption is minimal.
