  There is a maximum of 4 adults per campsite. 2 adults and 3 children is permitted. You can add a maximum of 1 adult per campsite for an extra $5.00 per night.

• What is the reservation deposit?

  When you make the reservation, a deposit is required in order to secure the site ($30.00 for campsites, $50.00 for rentals, or total for a 1 night stay). This amount is not added to your balance, but it is applied toward it. If you cancel your reservation prior to 10 days before your expected arrival date, your deposit minus a $10.00 processing and administrative fee will be reimbursed. If you cancel your reservation within 10 days before your expected arrival day, the deposit will be forfeited.

• What happens if I cancel my reservation?

  If you cancel prior to 7 days (prior to 15 days, if during special events) to your arrival date, a $15 campsite fee or a $20 cabin fee will be charged from your account, but you will be reimbursed your reservation deposit.

  If you cancel within the 7 days preceding (or within the 15 days preceding) your expected arrival date, your reservation deposit will be forfeited.

  There is no reimbursement if you cancel, once you have checked-in.

  We understand that it is sometimes necessary for campers to cancel a reservation, or leave earlier than the planned departure date, however the campsite that was reserved for you was made unavailable for others. Therefore, Hickory Oaks Campground is not bound to deliver reimbursement.
