Our Story
Rooted in the woods since the beginning
Hickory Woods Group Campground sits on land that has drawn people together for generations. What began as a simple clearing deep in the woods has grown into a destination where organizations find the quiet they need to reconnect — with each other and with something larger than themselves.
The Town of Whitewater surrounds us with rolling hills, historic charm, and the kind of stillness that only comes when you're far enough from the highway and close enough to hear the wind in the trees. We don't offer luxury. We offer something rarer: a real place, tended with care, ready for your group to make it its own.
