Thorn Side
If you’re looking for your own gravel bar to camp on with a great swim hole this is it. Some of the best creek fishing I’ve found, with alot of smallmouth. I’ll definitely be back.

Thorn Side
I loved camping at Ballard Creek. The water is AMAZING! Privacy was excellent. I would suggest possibly mowing out more of the area. I would not recommend this location for small children due to the rough terrain and the thorns. But it was a great location for us and our dogs enjoyed the water for sure. We will be back with an all adult group. The train is close and very loud but I live by tracks so it wasn't really an issue for us. Of course being out in nature there were alot of tics so be on look out for those. All in all it was a great place and I do plan on revisiting. Phil is a great host got back to me quickly with answers to my questions.

Lovely Stay!
Thorn Side was just lovely! We were able to get our Taxa travel trailer and Jeep down near the water close enough to hear the rapids. Only drawback is some road noise and trains…but for us, those are not deal breakers. Will definitely keep this site on our radar for the future! :)

Camping on Ballard Creek
Beautiful property
It's a beautiful property right up against a stream with a fire pit. However, a train runs by every two-three hours, which is disruptive.
