Fairy tale

This property is a romantic little fairy tale of a place. All of the twinkle lights is what sold me. It’s just as cute in person and the pictures show. We utilized the chairs in the creek and the lounge chairs at night by the creek. It was so relaxing. We also used the BBQ. The bathroom was very clean and had a shower. There were two other couples on site. They were friendly and we had our privacy still. I recommend this place to any couple.

Desiree was great with her communications and directions to site. She meet me at check in to provide a property overview and offered wonderful area recommendations. The property is lovely and the sound of the creek offers a realizing vibe. I left Love Creek with some much needed down time and a few mosquito bites to bring home (pack heavy duty bug spray).

Camping in Style by The Creek

Picked this place on a last minute decision and it was the best decision we could have made! We were met by the host and guided into the property with a very warm and welcoming feeling. We got to explore and view all the amenities available to us. The hammock & day bed were personal favorites of ours as we found ourselves being able to unwind and play cards at any moment. The tent was spacious and very comfortable and despite the blistering hot days the weather at night was amazingly cool. Everything provided was of great use such as the grill and seating areas. Having a bathroom onsite with a shower was perfect for having a great outdoor feel while also feeling a sense of luxury. The lounge chairs in the river were truly the cherry on top when it came to relaxing and unwinding with a beer in hand. I could go on and on but I cannot wait to go back here and recommend this place to anyone that wants a secluded and elevated experience. If you can go for more than 2 days I highly recommend it. Also the local shopping & food was a great plus with plenty of access to beautiful lakes for fishing or swimming!

We enjoyed staying at the campsite. Desiree was very nice and welcoming. The property was clean and peaceful. The walkways were covered with bark and well lit up. The trees helped provide shade on the hot summer day, and the creek was nice and cold on our feet. We would recommend this place and hope to stay again.

A Real Gem 💚

Tent camping at its finest! This place was a true find. A beautiful property in the woods with a creek running through makes it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. There are so many little spots to relax that it’s almost hard to choose where to sit and take it all in. Our host, Desiree, made the experience very comfortable, greeting us upon arrival and making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family! 💚
