How to Contact Hickory Oaks Campground and Find Park Information

Hickory Oaks Campground has no regular office hours and no staff to answer phone calls, so email is the only contact method: [email protected]. Practical park information — features, site map, rules, and FAQ — lives on separate pages of the website rather than in one place, and email responses are very limited during the off-season shutdown (October 12, 2026 through March 1, 2027).

How to reach Hickory Oaks

The homepage states plainly that there are no regular office hours and no staff to answer phone calls. That makes the site itself the primary source for "our processes, our latest news on camping availability, and overall updates."

• Email: [email protected] — the contact method named on the page.
• Phone: not offered. The page says there is no staff to answer calls, so don't expect a call-back option.
• Timing: responses are "very limited" during the shutdown window, so plan around that if your question is time-sensitive.

Where to find park information

The site organizes information across several pages rather than a single info hub. Based on the site's navigation, these are the places to look:

If your question is about availability, news, or process changes, check the homepage first — that's where dated updates are posted.

What the current updates say

The homepage carries a dated update (09/21/26) that affects anyone planning a trip:

• October 2026 reservations are closed. No additional reservations beyond those already booked will be taken for October, because the family is starting the campground shutdown process.
• Full closure: October 12, 2026 through March 1, 2027. No reservations are taken during this period.
• 2027 season: begins early to mid-May, depending on weather.
• 2027 requests: new reservation requests for 2027 must be dated March 1, 2027 or later to be reviewed. Nothing will be reviewed before that date.
• Water at campsites: may be shut off in October depending on frost conditions. If that happens, campers already booked get a 25% refund of their total bill, or a full refund if they choose not to stay.
• Showerhouses: the northwoods showerhouse closes at the end of September; the main office showers stay on as long as weather allows.

Cancellation policy for 2027

The page notes the policy was tightened after last-minute cancellations. As of May 2027, for regular camping: 10+ days' notice gets a full refund; under 10 days' notice does not. The excerpt cuts off there, so check the site for the complete policy before booking.

Practical sequence

1. Read the homepage update first — it's the only place dated changes appear.
2. Check Campground Features, Site Map, Rules, and FAQ for the specific detail you need.
3. Email [email protected] with anything not covered, and expect a slow reply during the off-season.
4. If you're planning for 2027, date your request March 1, 2027 or later.
