Peaceful minimalism at Hickory Hill
Just a short drive from Big Ivy trailhead, in a peaceful, secluded perch in the forest, Hickory Hill is a minimalist’s choice for a low-key, relaxed Hipcamp.
During our short stay at Hickory Hill, My husband and I pitched a tent between the fire-ring and the outhouse. The camping plot was well-maintained, clean, and easily accessed from the parking area. The outhouse looked newly constructed, and was in great condition.
The grounds of Hickory Hill are cozy, but perfectly adequate to accommodate at least one large tent, or two smaller tents. The sound of the stream gurgling below is heard as you prepare a meal on the picnic table, or repose in your bivouacked lodging.
Up at Hickory Hill, you are surrounded by trees. Though, in winter, it appears that a modest mountain view may become visible as the leaves fall away.
The host of the Hipcamp, Chris, is a very nice and personable guy. My husband and I had a wonderfully pleasant conversation with him. He’s exactly the kind of person you’d want to have as a Hipcamp host. As a long-time resident of the area, he could highlight nearby attractions
and points of interest that shouldn’t be missed.
For a quiet location, in a simple space, Hickory Hill makes good sense. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Thank you for your genuine hospitality, Chris. It was a pleasure meeting you!
