Welcome to The Hickory Chicken — Hard to find, worth the search!
Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, The Hickory Chicken is your ideal escape for outdoor fun, family bonding, and Southern charm.

At The Hickory Chicken, you'll find full access RV sites perfect for weekend warriors or long-haul adventurers, plus cozy cabin rentals if you're looking to rough it just a little less. Spend your days casting a line at our well-stocked fishing spots, cooling off with a stroll through the creek, or cooking up something special in our outdoor kitchen space. Whether you're into s'mores or smoked brisket, we’ve got you covered.
Outdoor lovers will find plenty to enjoy — and hunters especially will appreciate the area's abundant wildlife and public hunting grounds. We're also just minutes from both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, offering scenic views and endless recreational opportunities. History buffs and trail enthusiasts will love being a stone’s throw from Columbus-Belmont State Park and Wright’s Area 252 Ride Park.
Working nearby? The Hickory Chicken is a short, easy drive from the Four Rivers Nuclear Plant, Phoenix Paper Mill and James Marine Wickliffe division — making it the perfect home base whether you’re here for business or pleasure.

We had an amazing stay at the cabin!! The woods and lake were so beautiful and quiet, just what we needed for a vacation, plus it’s near so many hiking trails. Jennifer and John are the most wonderful hosts you can possibly imagine, the cabin was super clean and stocked, John even brought us firewood for our stay. Would 100% recommend here to any campers looking for a great experience!

We felt very fortunate to find a place like Sonny Hills, with a great location for anyone spending time in SoIL and a beautiful property to camp on. John and Jennifer were very welcoming and generous hosts, with 4 furry friends that we loved visits from during our stay. Directions to the property were easy to follow, their recommendations were very helpful and it was really interesting learning about the property. We’ll definitely be staying again next time we’re in the area, and recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful place to pitch a tent. Thank you again for a great weekend, give the hounds another pet from us!

We loved camping on Jennifer's property. My kids loved the lake and the paddleboard. We were so close to Shawnee National Forest. Jennifer and her husband had excellent suggestions for where to go, and were so kind to us when the weather was just too hot and we had to leave early. Would absolutely stay here again next time we're in the area.

Sonny hills was a great place to stay! Jennifer and her husband were fantastic hosts, very friendly and accommodating. We chose a very hot couple days to stay and the pond was great to cool off in. What we saw of the cabin it looked very nice as well and their non-electric sites were all in shade with close access to the toilet and pond. Their dogs were great to meet and well behaved. definitely not all in your business but would come to visit every now and then. We would love to go back and enjoy their property again in the future!

We had a very relaxing stay here. The cabin is large and stocked with everything we needed.
Host and husband were very kind and welcoming.
Only 10min to Garden of God's and 15 Min to small town.
Back yard was completely fenced in and I was able to let my small (7lb) dog be leash free.
I thought the bed was comfortable and the couches were nice too.
Great place, very clean, safe, and quiet.
We would definitely return if in the area!
