  There is no reimbursement if you cancel once you have checked in

  We understand that it is sometimes necessary for campers to cancel a reservation, or leave earlier than the planned departure date, however the campsite that was reserved for you was made unavailable for others. Therefore, Hickory Oaks Campground is not bound to deliver reimbursement.
