We had a beautiful weekend! David's directions were very clear, and we easily found the site. It was private, quiet, and had a fantastic view.

Floods in Western NC

We cancelled our reservation due to roads flooded out in the area and I am certain the camp owners had their hands full. We hope they recover so we can visit them another time.

The best thing about Creekside Cmping is Buck Creek, literally right outside my camper door. So beautiful and relaxing to watch and listen to the creek. I stayed in a nice spot right on the creek with trees and picnic table. The bathroom/shower cabin-like building is a short walk and is very nice and rustic (in a good way). Hot water is plentiful and there is a fridge and microwave in the same building. David was very nice and helpful in getting me and my dogs settled. He also had great recommendations for what to do in the area.

Great Spot!

Tent

David’s site was great! He is a very kind host, and puts good effort into maintaining a great camp site. Him and his dogs were very hospitable and this site had just about everything a camper could need. Hot shower and clean bathhouse. The creek was really peaceful, the site is pretty private and though it is closer to a road, there isn’t a lot of traffic. We had a great time!

Tent

Overall, I had a great experience. The electric hookup right on site is a huge plus. Unfortunately when I got there there were broken boards on the platform. And when I was taking my tent down to leave another board broke. But the bathroom was clean and the host was very friendly and helpful. I had a fun ride around devils whip and part of blue ridge parkway. The view of stars at night was spectacular.
