I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend. The location was secluded with lots of privacy. Lots of trees. Definately made you feel you were in the woods. The whole layout of the property was beautiful especially at night with lighted areas where you will find a shower and a real bathroom. The campsite had everything you'd need including hammock and power. Firewood is available. Located right by a beatiful creek with very reasonable kayak rentals. The host was so accomondating and goes way above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay. This place is a hidden gem. You will not be disappointed.

A Frame Retreat!
The A frame cabin at J&P Creekside is the perfect retreat! It is decorated with cozy furnishings that exude country warmth and hospitality! The king size bed is super comfortable and the cabin has a/c and a mini fridge and ice maker. There is a cute bathroom next to the cabin with a toilet and sink and ample room, also decorated with country charm. An outdoor shower is only a minute walk away and it is the perfect camping shower! If you are looking for a comfortable retreat in the woods, check this Aframe retreat out! This place is truly a little slice of sweet paradise!

John's place is an absolute slice of heaven! We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and this was the perfect place. The site was private and clean and peaceful. We traveled with our three poodles that loved being able to be off leash. John's dogs Roxie and Sam were sweethearts and happily greeted our crew and played with them. My husband and I plan on traveling to stay here at least yearly going forward. John and Patti were very friendly and communicative. The cottage was like something out of a fairy tale. There was a mini fridge and microwave and water tower all which were much appreciated. The bathroom was super clean and the outdoor shower was amazing. There is something to be said about showering while looking up at the stars. We cannot wait to return. Don't miss out on staying here, it is a hidden gem!

Glamping for sure
My daughter and I had a blast. J & P have such a nice camp. Great park area for kids. We fished, played at the park, stayed in the cabin, and made a fire for s'mores. It was great. Bathroom are way nice and clean too, not your typical gross camping bathroom. We will be back!
