Hickories Park in other cities:
We camped there for four days. Enjoyed the campsite. Park is close to grocery store, hardware store and a Dollar General.
Its a beautiful, well kept park close to home.
Nice big park. Lots of bathrooms. Only downside is the road noise on both sides
This is one of our favorite campgrounds and parks. Lots of room to wonder, 3 dog parks, and playgrounds for the kids.
Theres alot of restaurants close by and Its a great place to go to and relax and cookout.
I grew up in this town (Owego, NY) this park is beautiful. You can walk, bike, play basket ball, baseball, soccer. You can grill, camp in your RV, launch a boat onto the river. I have had many special events and picnics here. There are also several pavilions there.
Best dog park in the area! Its beautiful and its really big. There is a small dog area, a big dog area(which is huge), and an area for training dogs like a little dog playground lol my beagle loves this park and its fun to go there I couldnt believe how nice it was the first time I went there I was really impressed.
It’s a park, nothing too crazy. A lot of dog owners don’t like picking up after themselves, even though there’s bag and basket stations everywhere for that purpose.
We tried fishing here and no luck we didnt catch anything.. But beautiful scenery.
Muddy but dogs loved it
Great place for a walk,event,party, family get together a picnic or camping
Very nice park on the Susquehanna River. You can stay with your RV. They also have a dog park and playground for kids. Nice to go on the 4th of July somebody always have fireworks!!! 🎆
Had a nasty encounter with one of the volunteers today before this we always loved your park we have met many great people and dogs .now we will no longer come . I was told my 5 month old puppy should not be around other dogs .I dont understand this at all . I then asked her why she said your being ignorant lady...I was shocked .I then asked her what her name was and she yelled pat and I dont give a S..t if u turn me in Im the boss i run this place ...other volunteers we have met are wonderful .very disappointed and upset
Beautiful park for dogs, for walking, for relaxing by the river. Everyone is friendly!
We love walking around Hickories Park!
My Granddaughter n me had the best time,sunny day we sat on the swing by the water looking at all the birds n ducks,having lunch together🥰
Quiet and relaxing with a nice view
This is a nice, simple, no frills park. Mostly wide open grassy areas with few trees and nice views overlooking the Susquehanna river. Great for walking, biking, or flying model airplanes. There are multiple pavilions and a nice playground for kids. The eastern part of the park has camp sites for tents and trailers and the north part has a very nice dog park with three sections; small dogs, large dogs, and an agility course. If you like wild hickory nuts and black walnuts, visit in the fall. You can pick them up off the ground, if the squirrels dont get them first. :-) The only down side is that the park is a bit noisy due to the nearby route 17.
Wonderful park. They do not take reservations and there are way too many seasonal taking up sites even though they are not using their camper. Rates are very good and the staff are friendly. Recommend ... but be prepared to boondoggle it because full hook up sites are monopolized by under utilized camp sites by the local seasonal folks.
It’s nice. Almost always clean. A good place to take the family.
Nice place for a family or group picnic
Just getting some exercise for the day.
It was a great weekend.
Nice park 🏞️
Have been going to Renee for years her and Jessica have a very nice and clean shop.
Super clean , nearby amenities including decent shopping for camping and food .Riverside is beautiful.Outstanding affordable grounds
Cool car show there but other than that never been there before. I had a good experience 😌.
Absolutely beautiful well kept park. We visit many times & always enjoy our stay.
Great place
The park is decent sized with many things to do, especially if you check out the community calender for upcoming events.
Just love the Hickories, try to go there a couple of times a year if possible.
Great to bring your dog. They have a dog park
It was nice and the rest room was very clean and the park is very good and quiet theres nice place to go and relax 😌
Nice clean campsite.Affordable and great views of the Sasquahana river
Great car show today.Nice park for fishing and parties.Has a playground and dog park.
Large community park with a dog park, playground, and tons of green space. The highlight is the campground. Nice open sites with water sewer and electric for $25 a night. They dont take reservations. So 1st come 1st served. This is only an issue on holiday weekends. If staying over a holiday, just come on Wednesday or Early Thursday and youll find a site. The staff is nice, and the place is well kept. The sites arent very private, but I dont mind at all. The more campgrounds I stay at, the more I appreciate the Hickories.EDIT, 2021 Update: The hickories park is just as good as ever, still one of my favorite campgrounds. The issue is availability now. There are often few sites left if arriving later in the week. I would suggest calling ahead to confirm what sites are open. They still do not have reservations, however Scott (Park mamager) is usually able to answer any questions and let you know what sites are open. Speaking of Scott, he has always been extremely helpful, and is always working hard to keep the park in great shape.
Large park with many campsites!
Beautiful part makes them good friend enjoy them today
Nice open park with river access
Great place for organizational picnic and events. Great pavilions with loads of space for parking and play
Love the dog park really well kept and lots of play pals for my little Jackjack
Nice place for the 4th of July plus I f you like they also do camping it looks like
Just visiting and walking around enjoying the day and the river and trees .
I grew up in Owego and have fond memories at the Hickories! Today my grand puppy and I had some time to waste, so we went to Hickories and walked, enjoying the people, nice breeze and sun!🐕👣👣🌞
Little gem right off the highway. Run by the city, this nice campground is right on the river. It has grassy sites, with not a lot of space between them. But we camped in the fall and it was gorgeous and handy for us as an overnight spot on our travels. We enjoyed the friendly host, and lots of happy dogs. There is a dog park in the same park as the campground!
Great local park for camping and gatheringsWith lots to do like trails for hiking and bikingSusquehanna for fishing and boatingAlso park grills for GrillingPSdont forget the charcoal
Went there for a car show. Nice place
One of the nicer parks in the area. It’s of a quite decent size and is very suitable for large events. There are many pavilions and also fields for sports, a basketball court, and paved roads for children to ride bikes and scooters. It has a little creek and is also right next to the Susquehanna river.
Nice pavilions campsites close no privacy no swiming area
Wonderful park with plenty of safe, paved walking/running trails. Right by the river, you can stroll through the grass to enjoy the scenes or walk on the paved walking lanes to get your steps in. Plenty of camping space and during the summer it really fills up with RVs. Last time we were there (End of July 2019) the water fountains were not working though, so be prepared to bring your our water or stop by McDonalds on the way in for tap water.
Nicely kept park in Owego NY, sitting alongside the Susquehanna river. Open fields, playground, dog park adjacent, open camping area for campers, rvs and tents, picnic tables and pavilions available, pedestrian lane around the maine field, bathrooms could use some major updating. Seems like a safe, family friendly park.
Beautiful place had a family reunion there
Great place for long and short term camping, picnics, parties, fishing and dont forget the awesome dog park!
Very nice town park, boat launch, camp sites, pavilions, dog walk, play ground, and fields. Town actually scoops the muck n mire from the boat launch.
Clean, quiet, great scenery. Very impressed
Liked the site but not a lot to do
Loved it
Very nice place to camp.
The park itself is great. Very nice place to go. Its all the people that go there and rent year round that seem to think they own the park that are the issue. We had many issues of people trying to claim things in a public park because they are there all summer. Watch out for the park commandos, theyre certainly watching for you because they have such insignificant fulfilment from their own lives they have to try to make other people feel small to make themselves feel bigger. Pathetic.
Took the kids. They loved playubg on the playground
Great place to walk dog
Great dog park
This is where we happen to have had my best friends funeral. It was her and her sons favorite place when she was alive.
Great park with access to the Susquehanna river. They also have nice walking paths and a playground for kids. In the summer months they have a lot of campers, with or without a RV. This park also has several pavilions that you can rent out for parties and etc...
Great dog park, clean & nice!!
Loved it
It is a beautiful place! Campers paradise!
Was fun accept chose wrong night to came in tent due to cold and rainy last night if it was in May or June probally would have been better
Beautiful park, campers seem to love it
Loved the September 11 memorial.
Beautiful park, popular camping/RV spot. Right on the river. Small town surroundings. Great if youre in the area but I wouldnt go out of my way.
Well its that time of year Hickorys in owego NY campers are out
Small town park. Has RV spaces and tenting area. Dog park and large open spaces. Right next to the Susquehanna River off of Route 17 ( Aka I-86) exit 65. Pavilions available and there is a public restroom.
Wonderful park, well kept, nice layout, good people.
A beautiful place to camp.
I love Hickories. I love the scenic park, the river, the dog park, everyone is always nice and jovial. Its just a great place.
Nice place to sit and read or watch the water. Nice dog park.
Walked Miller Beach Road and cut through the trees. Not a lot of people walking. Just a wonderful walk.
Place to launch to launch boats and kayaks! Launched the wave runner and had a blast on the River!Nice and clean camping and park area!
This Park is kept clean and well groomed. A free Park for one day of quiet walks in a grassy area or low cost overnight camping. RV are welcome. This Park also has a dog park area so your pets can run and socialize with new friends. Hickories has a garbage policy of you bring it in, you must take it out with you.
Beautiful, and quiet
Very beautiful park and campgrounds. The highway noise definitely is a bummer if camping near the river. Would say 3.5 stars if they had half’s.
Busy place with nice vibesAvailable hookupsLovely town to stroll and eat in
As always it is beautiful, friendly, clean and just plain awsome.
Lovely park and very reasonably priced with all services. Our favorite place to camp
Big park with much to offer, including camping, boat launch and picnic. I went for the dog park, which is actually 3: big dogs, little dogs and obstacle course. The dog park was clean, well maintained and I will be going back.
Very clean & well manicured park. There are pavilions to rent, places to camp, a dog park & playground. It is easy to find & easy access off I 86. We hold a family reunion there every year & keep going back because the park is excellent.
Very well maintained park. There is a dog park, huge fields for any type of outdoor games including kite flying, campgrounds (these you’d need to pay for), and even shower and bathroom facilities on site. There is no swimming anywhere in this park, and it is a carry-in-carry-out park. Please bring bags with you to remove your garbage and recyclables
Beautiful, clean and quiet
The park is always well maintained, my kids love going there
Just a beautiful park. Easy access to the river. Paved roads. Wide sweeping paths around
Wide open park with lots of parking, picnuc areas and opportunity to walk on paved walkways. Nice playground. Also offers a campground and pavilion rentals.
I always ♥ this place
A nice place right by the river that has regularly scheduled events! Also, a perfect place for a cookout or quick picnic
Great park; open for dogs, pedestrian lanes in roadways, boat access. Always cooler than elsewhere in the summer.
Awesome day .clean
Best place for a night walk
Very clean, spacious grass areas. The dog park is heaven for canines.
Nice and clean. Great dog park.
Beautiful park. camping and an outdoor theater for concerts. picnic areas and pavilions. boat launch on river. a really lovely park
Beautiful view of the river. Nice place to walk.
Absolutely beautiful. Such a peaceful place with the green rolling hills and the river flowing by.
Great park, clean, quiet, well maintained. Squirrels, geese, woodchucks,and song birds. Nice place to visit!
Favorite dog walking park! Lots of squirrels to pay attention to! We cant go into the dog park (dog reactive dog) but its a beautiful place to free play with your dogs.
Great park! There is something for everyone! Boating, camping, picnicking, dog park, playgrounds,pavallions, walking lanes, and great fishing spots.
Nice park. Lots of space to safely enjoy.
Very nice quiet park. Good size playground for kids, lots of good sized pavilions that are reasonably priced. Large dog park area.
Great park! Lots of space for picnics or camping.
We arrived after dark, really hard to find the site we wanted as the maps dont tell you where you are. Quiet!
Very nice. Clean spacious. Rv camping and picnicing, walking lanes. Definitely a refreshing place
My sister is camping there. There are many spots for RVs and tent camping.Electric and water available.Playground and a great place to fish.
Park is clean. Nice place to camp and spend time with your children. Play ground is keep clean n tidy.
This is my home town camping park. I stay here when visiting the area. Reasonable rates and well maintained.
Beautiful park in the coolest small town in America (2011) very well kept, has a dog park, swings & playground, as well as a campground & amphitheater.
The dog park is closed due to flooding damage. Hopefully this part will open up soon. The rest of the park is open and very nice.
Beautiful scenery, nice park, there is camping and rv options along with a dog park.
Good park, VERY well maintained....good walking park....albeit....More pedestrian marked zones would be better....very nice 9-11 memorial...
Great camping place fireworks on the 4th of july had a blast going again next year
Beautiful river views, my kids love the playground and concerts and the summer, and my dog loves the dog park. Its a great place for the whole family.
A great spot for a 4th of July celebration. Really enjoy the concerts here.
We love bringing our RV here during the offseasons and on weekdays. Theres a crowd of regulars who congregate for the summer and make outsiders feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.Otherwise its both beautiful and serene with clean facilities, friendly staff, and fairly reasonable rates.Another reviewer mentioned the social climate at the Hickories as well.When we came midsummer, we were made to feel like we had crashed a private party. We were surrounded by people who had spent the entire summer together at this campground and we were definitely not welcomed. Apparently a bunch of coworkers from some nearby company come and really settle in. They surround their RVs (way beyond the bounds of their campsites) with dog enclosures, tents, attachments (some even grow gardens!). There was even one family flying a political flag and others who set up things like birdfeeders, lampposts and windchimes. Charming and homey for a summer cabin, but this is supposed to be camping. I couldve stayed home for this atmosphere! I camp to be in nature and get away from suburbia - not to have it be recreated around me. They all gather for a community campfire every night (to which we were not invited).None of this would actually bother me but for the fact that these are unfriendly and entitled people who treat this like it is their private property and others are intruders.I prefer to go off season when the summer crowd breaks camp and goes back home. (I actually believe there are one or two who live there year round, because they have decks built around their RV.)Its a shame that something thats meant for everyone to enjoy has been co-opted by a large group who treat it like its their private property.
Great park, so not go if its raining.
Beautiful camping park. Walking paths throughout. Great for families or older couples. Great green spaces, very well maintained. People are friendly. Park is pet friendly and has one of the finest pet parks on site I have ever seen. Showers are clean and well kept. July has bands playing every wednesday. Close to other activities. It is right on the river for fishing and boating. We have truly enjoyed our stay and much more reasonable than a KOA or other campsites.
Nice park for a family outing. Not for a hiker/adventurer, but great for a nice flat walk, teaching your kid to ride a bike, or a family reunion!
Lovely park, anytime of the year. Walking areas, dog park for both small and large dogs, dog agility area, and boat launch area.
Great place to walk and take dogs to run
Its nice. Wish they had a valley playland type playground. Overall nice, clean and quiet
Very clean, well kept. Great place to take the kids to play, definitely a good place to fish the river
Great clean place to visit and good camping improves every year we go!
I made a stort stop my friend was showing me around and wanted me to see the lake . The park is well maintained and is it great place just to stop and take it .
Very nice clean spacious park. There are a lot of different activities within the park for visitors to enjoy.
Nice quiet hometown park, no swimming but a nice playground for the kids, walking and biking and a dog park in the back it has a small campground for RVs some with full hook-ups
Beautiful! And I love the dog park!
A cozy little place to stay. Id stay here again.
Absolutely no garbage cans in the park, cols water only in the rest rooms.
Great place a big part of the city I love
Great place to camping, quiet and friendly, cant wait to go back
Great place for family to have fun but no real fun for dogs the dog park I seen in FL had huge fences one for small/medium and other side large dogs so they could run free
Nice park for hiking and biking.
Very relaxing. Not to crowded, family friendly
Great place to camp and especially the dog park and price.
One of the nicest places to relax and enjoy the beauty of TIOGA County
Great place to camp out and have fun and great for partys
We had two visits here at Hickories. One for a Graduation and one for a church party. It was fun.
A very nice to relax and have a picnic...
Great place to spend with family for a picnic. Also has campsites.
Beautiful scenery and well kept park!
I used to come here all the time growing up camping almost every weekend. The sites are pretty big, but sites are also first come first serve. Ive Never Camped down in the Overflow area, down by the music tent. Theres always regulars here every year. And this place constantly floods, almost every year theyve got it to work to get it open back up again. But its so big I hope they never close it. My reason for four stars is because only until recently has it been more accessible to find if theyre closed or not due to flooding or weather.
Plenty of open space, pavilions and a great dog park
Loved this place, just as snow was melting the river was crystal clear and the whole park is so well maintained
Large open spaces, basketball courts, coal BBQ grills, pavilions with picnic tables, fishing, playgrounds, soccer fields, and dog park.
Very nice place. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Very nice place to camp!
Great place to camp nice rest rooms nice set up with 30 or 50 amp service and sewer hookup staying there the whole summer.
A nice place to visit
Incredibly well-maintained dog park! Very kind attendants keep water bowls filled and benches swept.
Its a great dog park..today icy but nice sunny day
They have a great dog adventure park.
Its a really nice and clean place to go to, Its allways nice there when you need just a little piece and quite and not far to go. And the people are allways friendly with a smile and a Hello.
We stayed here for a week at the campground which was a pleasant surprise to find considering it is a city managed facility. The sites were capacious, and have upgraded, newer services such as 50-amp full hook up. It was generally quiet through the week, and as we approached the weekend, weekender local campers came out.There were only 2 flaws in my opinion: the first being they dont take reservations according to whomever we spoke to on the phone, yet when we arrived, we found campsite occupied signs being moved around to various sites. That hardly seemed fair. Coming in from 1200 miles away and with no real destination campgrounds to choose from in the area as a fall back for our size rig, this does not make you feel good on approach. Second, the campground had a lot of locals driving through the campground, many were less than on the up and up looking which presented a safety concern should we decide to take a day trip. We didnt feel safe or confident in leaving our rig unattended which naturally attracts a lot of attention due to its size.
Had a great time awesome cars and trucks
Nice 9/11 memorial when you drive in.
9/11 Memorial dedicated today. Beautiful park, great dog park
Reasonable rates. Very nice park. Only thing it lacks is a pool.
Just got back from a great car show in Owego , New York!
Nice dog park. Well maintained and easy access.
I go there for the car shows. Great place.
The Rebecca Weitzman Memorial Dog Park is loads of fun. For large and smart dogs within Hickories.
All of our family events have taken place here. Absolutely beautiful river view
Very nice place to relax, fish, exercise or walk your dog in the dog park.
Most pleasurable. Clean neat. Occasionable evening music venuès each week. Very near anything you need.
This is a very flat scenic place to have a party/picnic at one of the pavilions or to take a very relaxing walk.
Love staying there
Nice place for picnics are camping very clean.
Nice outdoor playground, has a really nice unleashed dog park, camp sites and real bathrooms. You can play in the creek or go for walks.
The location is lovely and well taken care of, but the playground is a little small.
Its really nice an a good spot to bring the kids an dogs
Went there for a company picnic! Very clean. Nice facilities
So many things to do in that Park and not much of a nice weather so enjoy it while you can
The dog park is a great place for my dog to spend time and burn energy.

2021-09-15Weve been coming here after Labor Day for a few weeks every year for many years. Its a great park, & it used to be easy to find a spot then but now its almost impossible, even on a weekday!The park doesnt have a reservation system, its owned by the Town of Owego. Spots are available on a first come basis. However, now RVers from the south & locals are coming in the spring and staying all summer, even into the fall, as the park allows seasonal camping. We were able to get one of two spots left!I walked around the camping area very early this morn (5 AM, Tuesday 9/14/21) and a third of the RVs were unoccupied. I suppose at $25 a nite its a cheap way to store your RV for the summer. The town would do other campers a favor by limiting half the sites to a max of 2 weeks.
