Reached via several miles of gravel road with no signage in at least one direction, Lake Hiddenwood Recreation Area requires some navigation patience before arrival. The campground is small and well-maintained, with electric hookups available for RVs up to 50 feet, drinking water, pit toilets, and a dump station. Cell service is weak on-site. One reviewer noted the former entrance was blocked by a bridge outage, so checking current access conditions before the trip is worth the effort. Hilltop Motel and Campgrounds is an alternative a few miles to the southwest for campers wanting full facilities nearby, and there are additional campgrounds near Selby in the surrounding area.
