Anglers and boaters find direct water access at Hickory Creek, an Army Corps of Engineers campground on Lewisville Lake's eastern shore. The 124 sites with electric and water hookups accommodate RVs up to 110 feet, while 10 primitive walk-in sites offer a more secluded experience for tent campers.
Sites spread across multiple loops, with lakefront spots providing unobstructed water views and interior sites tucked among mature trees. Paved pads include picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern hooks, with some featuring covered tables. Water pressure runs strong throughout the campground, and recent electrical upgrades provide 50-amp service. UnnamedAdventures notes the sites are "spread out and have great water pressure and electrical hook-ups no matter what type you need."
A walking path winds through the different loops and connects to nature trails, though hiking options remain limited. The campground includes a small beach area and boat launch for lake access. Ducks frequent the shoreline, and wildlife sightings include hawks fishing from the water. Gates close at 10 PM, requiring campers to return by that time.
Aircraft noise from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport affects the camping experience, with planes overhead throughout day and night. Highway sounds from nearby Interstate 35 reach some sites, particularly those closer to the southern edge. Clean bathhouses provide showers, and a dump station serves RVs without sewer hookups. For additional options nearby, campers can explore places to camp near Lewisville Recreation Area or check out Sycamore Bend Park just over half a mile northwest.
The campground operates year-round with reservations available, making it a convenient base for exploring the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex while maintaining lake access.
