Sycamore Bend Park — Attraction in Hickory Creek

This is a very nice place to enjoy a day out alone or with the family. The beauty of its landscape is very stimulating and relaxing. It is a safe area to enjoy water activities such as: use of motorboat and small boats, Jetskis and paddle board, etc. You can even enjoy a dip. The place is prepared with several outdoor picnic areas, surrounded by several trees. The parking lot is very comfortable and has a landing ramp for medium-sized water vehicles. Due to the singularity of the natural area, its bathrooms are sewer type, although with an inode bowl, it lacks a sink. That is why I recommend that you bring your kit for sanitary needs. In the place I was able to use a tent and a hammock. This natural area with a lake enchanted adults and children, we had a lot of fun: running jetski, enjoying some food that we brought, using board games, all in contact with mother nature and at a very affordable price...

Decent for no water and no electric tent camping. The no water restrooms were quite clean except the hand sanitizer was empty every day we were there (4 days / 3 nights). They refilled the toilet paper within 12 hours of it running out which seems rather prompt. Police patrol came through on a normal route. Plenty of spiders and large lake gnats but didn't notice much of any mosquitoes. The front gate was often open and seemed more honor system to pay with the added routine check by police for pass enforcement. I'm glad the gate pass system accepts exact cash amounts or credit card with no extra...

Awesome relaxed park with boat access, a small beach, and a single floating dock. Access road is an older and somewhat narrow road, technically wide enough for 2 vehicles but not ideal for large pickups with wide boat trailers. Great spot to launch a kayak or sailboat due to the reduced traffic and more time can be spent loading/unloading. Does get busy on summer weekend afternoons. Boat trailers often have to park lined up along the road during those times.

Camping area is very peaceful with basic amenities. This is more of a fisherman paradise than it is conducive to loud parties due...
