Campground in Hickory NC

[hjbourge]

Hello Everyone,

We are going to a wedding of our granddaughter up in Hickory NC area. Can anyone tell us of some nice campgrounds in that general area? We always like to use full hookup CG if at all possible.

After doing a quick search on Google, I saw there are lots of CG within about 35 miles of Hickory. But, most reviews were negative on the ones within about 20 miles, save for one. Indian Springs has good reviews. From GoogleEarth, there is very little shade. But, it may suit your needs, since you are there for another reason, and not the campground itself.

Interesting area! Lots of water (don't have much of that in Colorado), so take your insect repellant.

If it were me, this is the campground I would chose in that area, for that purpose.

Although I grew up near there, I never camped in Hickory, it was just a town I passed through on the way to the real mountains! But South Mountain State Park is 45 minutes away, and I have heard it is good. But the campground seems to be closed till May 1 for renovation, so that may not work for you.

wbmiller3, that might work as we are not getting there till mid June. Thanks I'll look it up.

lovetocamp, sorry to take so long getting back to you, I was out for a bit. I'll check it out but may be a little to far to travel back and forth. But I'll look into it just the same, thanks.
