🌿 Hickory Hill Camping Resort Earns Double Honors

 in “Best of Camp New York” Awards

There’s something special about Hickory Hill Camping Resort — the laughter echoing from the pool, the smell of campfires at dusk, and the sight of families coming together beneath the endless Finger Lakes sky. That spirit of community and joy has just earned Hickory Hill two incredible honors: Best Family-Friendly Campground and Best Glamping/Rental Accommodations in the inaugural Best of Camp New York Awards!


Hosted by Camp New York and the Campground Owners of New York, this statewide recognition celebrates the best in outdoor hospitality — and the winners were chosen by the people who know best: the campers themselves. Thousands of families, adventurers, and outdoor enthusiasts cast their votes, highlighting the destinations that made their 2025 camping season unforgettable.


Winning both of these awards is a true testament to our team’s dedication and passion for outdoor hospitality,” said Alan Lehman, Campground Manager at Hickory Hill Camping Resort. We take great pride in offering experiences that bring families together and showcase the very best of camping in the Finger Lakes.”



🏕️ Best Family-Friendly Campground

For generations, Hickory Hill has been a place where families gather to play, relax, and reconnect. With shimmering pools, a cheerful mini-golf course, playgrounds, and a full lineup of themed weekend activities, the resort is designed to delight campers of every age.


Guests return year after year — some bringing their children, others their grandchildren — to relive traditions and make new memories in an atmosphere that feels like home. It’s this sense of belonging that continues to set Hickory Hill apart.



✨ Best Glamping & Rental Accommodations

For those who crave both comfort and connection to nature, Hickory Hill offers a variety of glamping and rental options that redefine the camping experience. From cozy cabins and cottages to luxury lodges, each space offers modern amenities while keeping guests close to the beauty of the great outdoors.


It’s the perfect mix for travelers who love the idea of roasting marshmallows under the stars — but still appreciate a warm shower and soft bed at the end of the day.



🌄 A Finger Lakes Treasure

Nestled in the rolling hills of Bath, New York, Hickory Hill Camping Resort is family-owned and proudly rooted in the Finger Lakes region. Whether you’re pitching a tent, parking your RV, or booking a beautiful lodge, Hickory Hill welcomes you with open arms and plenty of “Happy Camping!” spirit.
