Themed Weekends Are Back
It All Begins Here
Themed Weekends Are Back: Your 2026 Season Preview at Hickory Hill
For years, families have come to Hickory Hill for a lot of different reason, but our themed weekends are right at the top of the list. This year is no different, and we’re excited to kick off another season of easy, memory-making fun starting May 1, 2026. The themes are here, the calendar is stacked, and the only question is: which weekend feels most like your crew?
Ready to start plotting out summer? Here’s the fastest way to make it real: check availability and pick your dates.
What a themed weekend feels like
Hickory Hill’s themed weekends are the kind of trips your family talks about long after you’ve unpacked. It’s not just “a weekend at the campground” — it’s a weekend with a built-in vibe. The theme gives everyone something to look forward to, something to join in on, and something that makes the whole park feel connected.
For you, that means less time wondering “what should we do today?” and more time watching the kids light up because there’s always something fun happening nearby. For the kids, it means they’re part of the action — the kind of day where they make a new friend at an activity, come back to the campsite full of stories, and fall asleep fast after a day that actually felt big.
And for the whole crew, it’s the perfect balance: join in for as much as you want, then drift right back to the best parts of camping — pool breaks, playtime, slow mornings, and campfire nights that stretch a little longer than planned.
The season starts with a bang (May and June)

How to pick your weekend like a pro:
If planning feels overwhelming, here’s the simple approach that works every time:
Pick one “anchor” weekend your family will be excited about.
Choose your stay style next (RV, tent, or a cabin-style stay) to match your crew.
If it’s a holiday week, grab it early. Those are the first to get snapped up.
