Hickory Run

Hickory Run State Park This large tent and trailer camping area in the western Poconos is mostly forested with a grassy, more open section. It has modern campsites (electric, non-electric, full-hookup, pet-friendly, and walk-to) with a sanitary dump station, playgrounds, and modern restrooms with warm showers. A camp store sells general camping supplies. CAMPING SEASON: This campground opens the second Friday of April and closes in mid-December. Shower facilities and the dump station are not available after the third Sunday in October. RESERVING A SITE: Most campsites in Pennsylvania state parks can be reserved 11 months in advance to noon of the day of arrival. Campers without a reservation arriving after noon should check at the contact station or near the campground entrance for instructions. Reservations can be made using MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and Discover credit cards, or personal, traveler’s, and cashier’s checks, or a Pennsylvania State Parks Gift Card.

Cutting live or standings trees and the operation of chainsaws are prohibited. • Firewood Advisory: Firewood may contain non-native insects and plant diseases. Bringing firewood into the park from other areas may accidentally spread pest insects and diseases that threaten park resources and the health of our forests. Use local firewood. Do not take wood home and do not leave firewood. Burn It! • Handwashing and dishwashing are permitted only where appropriate facilities are available. Washing is prohibited at water spigots, hand pumps, springs, lakes, and streams. • Because uncontrolled pets may chase wildlife or frighten visitors, pets must be physically controlled, attended at all times, and on a leash, caged, or crated. Electronic fences and leashes are prohibited. BEAR TRUTHS: Although they appear cute and cuddly, black bears are wild animals that share the forest with park visitors. Bears use their claws to tear apart rotting logs to find food, and those claws also work well to open trash cans and coolers. The size and strength of black bears are astonishing. Black bears have poor eyesight and fair hearing, but they have an excellent sense of smell. Aromatic scents coming from your food, candles, and toiletries can attract a curious and hungry bear from a great distance. Keep a clean campsite. Clean up quickly after meals and store all food and scented items inside a locked vehicle. This practice will not only prevent bears from visiting your campsite, but will discourage raccoons, skunks, and opossums from late night visits. Black bears normally avoid people, but bears dependent on eating human food can become aggressive when people get between them and food. If you come in contact with a black bear, do not run. Walk slowly away while facing the bear. Do not make direct eye contact with the bear. If the bear is not leaving the area, make loud noises, blow a whistle, honk a car horn, or bang a pot. Notify a park employee if you have difficulties with bears. Never approach a bear and be especially wary of mother bears and cubs. 3/19 Printed on Recycled Paper 4 Family Camp Road White Haven, PA 18661 GPS DD: Lat. 41.02452 Long. -75.68673 570-443-0400 hickoryrunsp@pa.gov Reservations: 888-PA-PARKS www.visitPAparks.com HICKORY RUN STATE PARK CAMPGROUND No. 5 Dam 342 341 343 335 334 333 43 330 33 1 33 2 340 m pin t Ca 322 32 3 2 31 :2 78 –3 43 29 299 300 301 303 30 302 5 30 4 31 3 314 320 Mountain Laurel 321 353 354 Pe 34 9 34 8 34 7 34 6 345 344 339 g Sites: 278–343 352 35 7 355 35 8 356 275 196 194 25 3 195 193 191 188 190 85 37 1 53 128 99 97 86 on nd e c an 8 5 31 es Sit Eastern Hemlock P e t Wa l k i n g A r e a g pin Cam Pet Brook Trout 3 78– s: 2 326 325 324 6 30 7 6 308 30 31 7 309 31 318 311 310 319 Firefly To Site 329 8 32 327 Ruffed Grouse 534 281 Albrightsville, 282 PA 903 3 8 2 4 28 285 La Cam te S 286 pg eas 7 28 En rou No tr 288 Sewer 289 290 291 338 292 Host 337 2923 336 2924 2925 2926 2927 g pin Cam Pet 189 66 68 67 69 70 31 s 23 21 22 20 19 18 17 98 381 0 37 279 280 9 Make online reservations at www.visitPAparks.com or call toll-free 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757). 380 Long. -75.68673 9 36 372 Sites 1–381 open the second Friday in April and close the third Sunday in October.
