This site is secluded on a cleared house pad designed for tents, a space for up to three small tents (bring your own). We provide a “toilet room” equipped with a solar fan, solar lights, and hospitality items, including toilet paper, paper towels, a trash can, potty gel (with instructions posted inside), and hand sanitizer. Also we provide a picnic table and fire pit with fire wood and cast iron pans to cook. You receive a gift bag to take with you!

As of September the new restaurant in town on Main Street has breakfast, lunch and dinner! Nearby, you’ll also find Elrod Falls, a perfect spot to picnic or take a refreshing swim. At your campsite, a small trail leads down to a seasonal creek when water is flowing. ⚠️ Important Notes: Beware of wild animals. Hunting is strictly prohibited.

Come enjoy the peace and serenity that God has bestowed on us. Step out of the rat race and enjoy slow pace of the country, the scenery and animals. Or go fishing or ride your motorcycle on the many nearby motorcycle rides like Tail of the Dragon, The Mini Dragon, Copperhead Road and many others. The locals are friendly and the scenery is breathtaking. Come and relax and take in the fresh country air.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent near the creek. Enjoy the sounds of rippling water, beautiful night sky and a communal campfire if you’d like. There are few amenities as we are just starting off. But we are flexible, accommodating and will allow use of our porta-potty and water well, if you need. Just ask for drinking water as we collect it in jugs at the spring for ourselves and will be happy to share. We have over 50 acres to explore and even an old log cabin if you care to brave the woods to find it.

We had a great camping experience at Clinch River RV Park! We enjoyed the small town atmosphere, the town was friendly and full of southern charm! The park was well maintained, quiet and peaceful! We will definitely return!!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Camping

While creekside is not as close to a creek as intended, and not as secluded as some places, it was a very nice and quiet stay. We had a need for an inexpensive site along our route and creek side fit the bill. The host was absolute incredible, and there is a cabin on site that we were allowed to use. I’m not sure if it’s regularly part of the stay though.

I had a great time camping on Emma's land. I parked my teardrop camper in her open field and enjoyed viewing the beautiful scenery. The directions were clear and her property was easy to find. I highly recommend camping here!

1 night at Creekside Camping

Emma’s land is so beautiful! She was our late night hero as we had difficulty finding a place to stay (unexpected campground closures along the way). She was responsive and friendly - making sure we knew exactly where to go. Sleeping under the stars with the gentle flow of the nearby creek and waking up to beautiful birdsongs and frog choruses was a lovely reset along our traveling way. There was also a clean toilet space we could use. Excited for Emma’s hopes to keep transforming the space! Until then, if you need to park your truck with your popup tent or pitch a tent for the night, this is a lovely spot!!

Emma was extremely accommodating allowing us a late check in and setting an alarm to wake up and greet us. She even checked on us the next morning.
