Hickory Lake Campground Cooperative Association

The board meeting originally scheduled for March 19, 2024 at 7:00 PM has been changed to March 20, 2024 at 7:00 PM.

Due to the weather over the last few weeks, a few questions have been asked about bringing in campers or using trailers within the campground.  We have had Mike check out the grounds and it is still very soft and in the usual spots it is a muddy mess.  

For now, the road restrictions will stay in place and we will make another announcement if that changes.

There is still about 9″ of ice on the lake, so as much as we all may have spring fever we still have to exercise a little bit of patience until things dry up a bit more.

Thank you to everyone and hope to see you all soon.

Good Morning,

Just a couple of quick updates:

The Board of Directors will not be making any changes for the 2024 season.  The board meeting/organizational meeting originally scheduled for December 13th has been cancelled and the next board meeting will take place on January 23, 2024 at 7:00 PM.

For members, you have been emailed the financial picture for the end of season; with December still to go we are in really good shape heading into 2024. 

The latest update on ice is that the lake froze over last week, in some spots there is about four inches.  Reports from this weekend indicate that there were people out on the lake.  If you do venture up to ice fish, exercise extreme caution as it is most likely not very stable.  With hardly any snow cover the roads are still drivable.  A picture from the boat launch is below.

We hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Sorry it took so long to get these posted after the annual meeting. The before pictures were taken last February, and the after pictures were taken towards the end of September. A lot of work and effort went into rebuilding the house, thank you to everyone that volunteered their time and expertise.

The annual election was completed yesterday, please check your email for final tabulation. Jim Apple was reelected to the Board of Directors and the 2024 Budget and Annual Assessment was approved.

Just a reminder that the 2023 election is underway. On the ballot is one position on the Board of Directors and the approval of the 2024 budget and annual assessment. If you have any questions please contact the Board of Directors. Check your email for the secure electronic ballot associated with your site.

Due to a lack of use, the message board function of the website has been disabled. Tara Bubar has volunteered to be the administrator of the new Facebook group for the campground. Please check your email for invitations to join the group.

The retaining wall on the west side of the campground was replaced this week. Below are some pictures of the new wall.
