Camping at Hickory Creek (Tx)

Public campground · Hickory Creek · 116 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Hickory Creek Campground sits along the Hickory Creek arm of Lewisville Lake, a nearly 30,000-acre reservoir formed from the Elm Fork of the Trinity River just north of Dallas. The shoreline here is oriented toward open water rather than clear depths visibility in the lake is limited, but the wide expanse makes room for powerboats, sailing, and watersports, and anglers come for steady fishing through the warm months.

“Very nice, clean park. Good spacing between sites make for a very fun time setting outside watching the sun come up from out trailer. Will definitely come back again.”

John M 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“We really like this campground. Spacing is great for most sites and the views of the lake, even from off lake sites, is stunning. The only downside is there's lots of air traffic going into DFW that can be noisy at times.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (53,800 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
