I like camping: backpacking & car camping, tents & trailers, primitive & civilized comfort. I want to learn more self sufficient & old style skills

Hickory Creek Park is nice enough, but not likely my 1st choice

Stayed last week at Hickory Creek Park on Beaver Lake near Lowell, Arkansas. We had a nice week. I think we had a nice spot in campsite 34.

Pros:

• Very nice people - both hosts/staff and campers

• Nice local area - fruit market, old-fashioned gas & grocery, flea market, good regular grocery, and anything you'd want or need nearby

• Good Midway point between Hobbs State Park and Devil's Den State Park

• Great lake views at every campsite

Cons:

• Single shower house for the whole park

• Only 2 trash dumpsters for the whole park - quite a walk to get to each

• No ice, wood, or other supplies available onsite

• Poorly signed - easy to get lost on the way in to the park

I would stay here again, but I'm not sure it would be my first choice in the area. But my family had a really nice week.
