Hickory Grove Campground

Stayed from 7/24/21 - 7/31/21. Can't remember what site but everything is very spread out here with level gravel pads and tons of grass. Had more space here than any other campground I've ever been to. Rates are reasonable but do not include electric ($0.25 per kw). Most sites are very shaded as well, with lots of huge hickory trees....moreStayed from 7/24/21 - 7/31/21. Can't remember what site but everything is very spread out here with level gravel pads and tons of grass. Had more space here than any other campground I've ever been to. Rates are reasonable but do not include electric ($0.25 per kw). Most sites are very shaded as well, with lots of huge hickory trees. Virtually no road noise and easy access from the highway. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Got chauffered to two sites on hold cart so I could choose which I liked better. Majority of the grounds seemed to be seasonal, and I didn't see many people during my stay. Campground is on the canal which is good for kayaking and the fishing isn't too bad either. Also a nice flat trail for walking/biking along the canal. Town of Princeton is small but nice, about 25 mins away. Has Walmart and grocery store, and for craft beer/whiskey drinkers the Barrel society bar is your place, lots of very good selections. Att on the peplink was good download (20+ mb) but upload was terrible (2-3 mb). TMobile was better at 20 mb down and 5+mb up. Overall really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.

We stayed here for one night, June 14,2021. We had a nice shady pull-thru spot with full hook up. The campground is large, quiet and has lots of shade trees. You can walk to see the local canal.

We had a nice shady pull-thru spot with full hook up. The campground is large, quiet and has lots of shade trees. You can walk to see the local canal. There are seasonal campers here but all of the campers and sites were well-maintained. We would definitely stay here again. Good value for $40! We drove to Ronald Reagan’s birth town and visited the free museum which was fun.

We were going to stay only 1 day but it was such a pleasant experience we decided to extend our stay. This allowed us to explore the Hennepin Canal Trail in both directions. The campground is right off the canal which made for easy access to the trail.

Our site was nice and the grounds were wonderful. However, despite being told to run the water to clear out sediments, we still had a light brownish red water running into the camper. No smell to the water, just a cloudy appearance. The campground owner/host was very nice to deal with and we were escorted via golf cart to our campsite. We had a very pleasant experience and I would stay here again.

We stopped here as an overnight stop from ohio to the badlands. It is not far from the highway but has a middle of no where feel.

It is not far from the highway but has a middle of no where feel. Walking around the park it seems to be mostly seasonal sights with some spots for overnighters. I had reserved the spot months in advanced and had asked for a pull through but the owner said she could not promise a certain spot. When we arrived though we were escorted to a pull through full hook up site, which was a nice surprise. There is also access to a very nice canal path that is great to stretch your legs, take the pups for a walk or take a bike ride. we used our trailer bathroom so that was not something I can address. Overall this place fit our needs nicely. We even had cell service and TV reception!

We arrived late...in the dark, and were met by 4-5 friendly people who helped us out!! Hope we can come back & stay longer because this is a beautiful campground with large trees, and wide open spaces...campers are not stacked next to each other like so many others are.

Hope we can come back & stay longer because this is a beautiful campground with large trees, and wide open spaces...campers are not stacked next to each other like so many others are. Seems like a friendly family owned campground....could use a larger playground for kids, but they do have a nice small one. Very enjoyable stay....just too short!

Stayed one night here on our way out West. Picture perfect surrounding and very friendly neighbours and staff. Tonnes of room for our tent we were the only ones in the tent area. Also CHEAP just $17 a night for an unpowered site one of the cheapest we have had so far. Plenty to walk around and see if you are just here for a night.

Hickory Grove Campground was one of the prettiest places that we stayed during our 6 week tour of the US. There are lots of mature trees on well kept grounds. Campsites have plenty of room between campers. We had a pull through site that was super easy to get into. The new owners, Joan and Dave, are the wonderful kind of people anyone...moreHickory Grove Campground was one of the prettiest places that we stayed during our 6 week tour of the US. There are lots of mature trees on well kept grounds. Campsites have plenty of room between campers. We had a pull through site that was super easy to get into. The new owners, Joan and Dave, are the wonderful kind of people anyone would love to be friends with if they lived nearby. They were in the process of making a number of improvements to the property. My husband and I are looking forward to making Hickory Grove a stop on our next trip out west.
