#1 Creekside (tents only)
The site was as expected. Close to Cherokee and private but can hear some road noise. Host was most helpful and delivered firewood for since we were on motorcycles. Communication was quick and answered our questions. Portajon was ultra clean but had not been pumped for a while which made it undesirable. I would come back.

Camping Near Fire Mountain Trails
I had a great quick weekend stay in Cherokee. I stayed at site #2, located on the hilltop area of the property. The site was very flat and private, making it perfect for families needing space. The porta-potty was clean, although it was located on site #1. Michael provided clear directions and site information. The Fire Mountain bike trails are about 10-15 minutes away if you're interested. I would definitely return when in the area.

We did not had a good experience as the camp was very close to highway and very noisy. Also it says it has toilet but it is very dirty. They do not have place to throw trash. Also do not step into the river next to camp.

Cute, private, relaxing
This was my 3rd stay here at Michael’s creekside tent location. My daughter and I had a great time again! She loves being able to have a private spot in the creek and I loved relaxing to the sound of it.
