This was the second park of our May trip. We headed out from the previous park at 10 AM and arrived at Hickory Run around 1 PM, after a smooth, easy drive. I checked in, found out where my site was, and went to fill my water tank. There was supposed to be a water fill at the dump site (which I didn’t see at the time, but on my way out at the end of the trip, I did see it there, oops!) So I went back into the park, circled one of the loops and found an empty site with a water hookup, so I snuck in and filled my tank there, before locating my site, which was almost completely level! Yay!
After resting a bit, I went out to check out the bathhouse. The nice, new bathhouse almost directly behind my site turned out to be under construction and closed. Bummer. Beyond that was a waterless restroom with vault toilets. Figured I’d just use the facilities in the van. There was also a water spigot between the two sites to my left, both of which appeared to be closed, so I figured if I needed more water, I could drive over there. And roll my cassette over to the vault toilets to dump. But neither of those contingencies turned out to be necessary.
My brother and sister-in-law stopped by at around 4:30 to check out my site, and then we drove around the campground. Their site was about a mile from mine, so no walking between sites! The campground appeared to be mostly tent sites with a few electric loops and even fewer full hookups.
