The first place I slept in a hammock all night! It was a gorgeous stay!

We stayed in the cabins here off season. It was great and looked like a lot of fun during the season. Great hiking at the boulder field that was great too. If the gates are open, you may even be able to do a little off-roading in your vehicle... just stay away during bear (maybe even deer) hunting season.

The reinforced site pad made it nearly impossible to properly drive tent stakes in.

Fire ring was the flip up/down type.

Site seemed to be very well maintained and we saw maintenance workers a few times, never visited by camp hosts or rangers.

Sites were closer together than I’m used to, making for a less than restful weekend seeing as we were across from a family reunion. But they sure had fun!

Bathrooms were clean, showers had attached changing areas.

Nice hiking, shades of death trail has a fantastic man made dam waterfall.

Clean, great camp store, dog friendly loop, great hikes accessible from campground!!

Everywhere we hiked was great! So many beautiful trails and lots to do! We loved everything about this park except the actual campsites. The sites were very close together, and there wasn't a lot of privacy, which sucked for us. There were a lot of drunk New Yorkers yelling at all hours of the day and night. If we weren't surrounded by obnoxious people we probably wouldn't have minded the close proximity as much.The bathrooms were clean and close. And the camp store was packed floor to ceiling with supplies.

Great hiking, biking, and kayaking in the area. Great trails in the park. Have to get to the bolder field.

My brother and I took our kids here a few years ago for tent camping in August. The campground wasn’t very crowded and the sites were a decent size, we easily put two tents on our site. The bathhouse we used was a bit lacking and not really big enough for the amount of people it needed to handle. Lots to do in the area if you do your research.

My husband and I have camped at Hickory Run twice now. Once before we had our daughter and once when our daughter was 7. Both times we had our dog with us. We enjoyed our stay. The other campers were quiet and considerate. The bathhouse was in a good condition. Our only complaint was that some of the dumpsters were full so we had to locate one that wasn't. As with any camping experience, check the layout of the campsite before booking to make sure the layout will accommodate your equipment.

Love this state park. The dog area is very nice.

I reserved site 364 which is a non electric site. Perfect for my solo camping trip. It has a lantern post, picnic table and fire pit with grate. I found the trees to either be too close together to hang a hammock or the trunks too wide for my hammock rope. You can also see the RV loop from this site as well which circled a large open field.

PROS - Close to camp store (biking distance), pit toilets and main office. This site also backs up to no other sites so behind you is just trees, deer and squirrel

CONS - These sites are literally on top of each other (at least this loop was). I was luck I was literally the only one camping in this loop. This site is also not close to hiking trails so you will need to drive out to go hiking. There is also heavy vehicle traffic at this location and people stopping at the dumpster across the road constantly.

Would I return? Probably on a different loop. But for a first solo camping trip it was nice to see other campers in the distance.

Stayed two nights in this park on our way from NC to Maine. We were happy to find a nice wooded site and had a quiet, refreshing stay. An easy rewarding walk is the "Shades of Death" trail - gotta love the name. Also worth an exploratory trip is their mammoth boulder field and learning about the last Ice Age.

nice and clean and lots of trails. we were warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings. Not much of a playground. All in all a pretty Park.

Bathrooms are undersized and not cleaned regularly, but otherwise, gorgeous trees campground with hiking and bike trial nearby. Electric hookup only in some sites. Crowded on summer weekends but not unbearable. Hike to the falls, see the boulder filed and bring bikes! Lehigh gorge rails to trails is a short drive.

I love everything the campground and state park has to offer. Bolder field is a great way to spend the day, and the campground has a great price for the sites. Showers and bathrooms are close by to the basic tent campgrounds, and the sites are large and easy to set up.

We camped here twice and enjoyed the peacefulness and cleanliness of the campground. A definite added bonus was the Boulder field which is a short drive, or long hike if you prefer, from the campground. Our whole family also enjoyed riding our bikes around the campground.

There are different levels of campsites. We love the "modern tent only", where we had the peaceful woods for company.

Where to start?! This is my favorite campground, public or private. The sites are large and many are somewhat private in terms of visual barriers. Some bathrooms are latrines, but they also have beautiful, fully updated showers and restrooms available. The camp store had good hours and is stocked to high heaven; you could come here with just the clothes on your back and buy everything you need for a very comfortable stay. To top it all off, the park itself is stunning. This is probably the largest, most well-kept public campground I have ever been to, and I'm dying to return.

We also saw a dung beetle, which was awesome.

Very nice, peaceful campground. Boulder field is very cool!

this area is so beautiful. a ton to explore and a huge frisbee golf course. the inner loops have nice bathrooms. we were in the outer loop far from the rest of the campground and they only had ports potties and hand sanitizer. I wish we had been on the inner loop for the bathrooms, but we had a huge tent site that fit 4 tents on it. Hike to the waterfall, it is beautiful.

Lots to explore. The rock field is one of a kind and not to be missed. The campsites were well spaced with lots of shade options. Only complaint is that the bathrooms were pretty dirty.

I would say this campground is very typical of all the PA State Park campgrounds we've stayed in. Nothing particularly special, but nice enough spots and bathhouse. More importantly is everything in the park around the campground! Make sure you check out the boulder field, and do some hiking.

Seems like we are always vacationing on the cusp of winter and it can be super challenging to find campgrounds that are open. We stayed here in November (during hunting season) and there were several groups of hunters camping in quaint little RVs.

The sites are open with little tree coverage and ours backed up to the road leading into the campground (which unfortunately was a high traffic road in the daylight hours). While most of the campground and its amenities were closed for the season, the restrooms remained open and well kept.

The sites have nice gravel drives with large picnic tables and fire pits. I can imagine that during the busy time the sites might seem a bit close to one another but for when we were there it was perfect.

So if you're looking for a place to rest your head in the less popular months, this spot is nice and most importantly OPEN!

Stayed two nights at two different sites. Heavily recommend getting campsites in the mid-60s. They come with a little more room and seclusion. Come with fire pit, parking spot, picnic table, flush toilet, running water. Competitive pricing.

The campground is a little bit crowded, and the bathrooms could be a bit nicer, but there's plenty to do in the park. Everyone says to go to the Boulder Field, and you should, because it's an interesting geological feature, it's beautiful, and it's just plain fun. But there's more to do in the park. The highlight of our weekend was Hawk Falls. It's a short hike, and the falls are beautiful. Even in late August, the water was COLD. You aren't allowed to swim there, but you're likely to see people jumping off the falls into the deep pools below - I cringed every time someone jumped. The swimming beach was much more inviting for taking a dip, and the restrooms/concession stand is modern.

Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown.

A splendid weekend with a group outing. Amenities were very good, and plenty to do.

Great place to picnic and spend some time on the sandy beach. We always have a blast going through the campgrounds on walks to see all the rigs and tents and Hickory Run has many different accommodations available from cabins to areas with only tents. They also have fun environmental programs that they run during the normal season that are very informative.

The Boulder Fields are one of the coolest places I've ever visited, partially because they were so unexpected. Don't twist an ankle, but you can play hide and seek to an extent as there are small depressions in the fields. Also lots of spiders :) The park has tons of hiking trails, some great views, loads of waterfalls, some swimming. All around a wonderful place to visit for the day or to camp for a few. Great any time of year (frozen waterfalls, fall leaves, wildflowers). Campground is lovely, nice and simple, not too crowded despite being big. Some sites are close to the water, most are not. There are some cabins too, including accessible ones. Follow the bear rules!

After many, varied experiences camping at state parks, Hickory Run remains high on the list. My first camping experience as a single mom with a five year old was ten years ago at this park. We have been back as a family, brought friends, and boy scouts. The Boulder Field is a unique must to trek with many trails traipsing in and around the many acres. There is a beach for swimming, catching frogs and just enjoying the updated amenities. In September I am excited to run the ultra sponsored at this park with gnarled roots, rocky outcroppings and pine needled trials.
