Great campsite to get away
The campsite was great! Far off the main road, restroom was clean and the weather was great. Only thing to be mindful of is there is ticks in the area. Other than that I definitely would stay there again.

Creekside Camping Retreat Site #2
Good, with room to improve.
Everything as advertised, but needs a bit of refinement given the price point. The host was quite clear that there was no water available. They provided a port-a-potty for bathroom services, which was perfunctory. The host does not provide garbage service, as it's a 'pack in/pack out' situation. All of these were communicated in advance of booking and expected. However: guidelines from the host about where campers could get water or dispose of their rubbish in a proper manner would have made a difference. As for the 'creekside' aspect, that is true. However, due to the overgrowth from the last winter, there's no creek access. Camp host could improve this by cutting a path through the brush to the creek from each campsite. Beyond that, I feel that future campers may want to know that there is an several critters you may not want near you, your children, or your pets. Ticks and scorpions were both observed in abundance. Wildlife is expected, but a reminder from the camp host would have been helpful. Lastly: Other campers, gentle reminder to keep your dogs under your control. I should not have been having to shoo off-leashed dogs out of my campsite nor dealing with their excreta. I do not regret my decision to camp here as a medium sized party on a holiday weekend, but for the $157 spent for a 3 night stay, given the lack of services, I'm not sure the value proposition works out mutually beneficial.

Creekside Camping Retreat Site is a nice choice for a low-key, relaxed Hipcamp not far from the quaint downtown district of Murphys, California. During our short stay at Creekside Camping Retreat Site, my husband and I pitched a tent near a provided charcoal grill and picnic table. The camping plot was clean and easily accessed. The simple, outdoor toilet facility was also conveniently accessible and in good, working condition. The grounds of Lazy G Ranch are open and spacious. There is room to stretch out and enjoy; a children’s playground, tetherball set-up, and volley ball net are primed and ready for use. The sound of the stream gurgling below is most likely heard as you prepare a meal on the picnic table, or repose in your bivouacked lodging during wetter seasons. However, in the hottest, driest days of summer, my husband and I heard only a pleasant chorus of melodic bird calls. There are many open and shaded spots to choose from, so it was easy to find a suitable spot to relax. For a quiet location in modest driving proximity to the wineries and amenities of nearby Murphys, Creekside Camping Retreat Site is a nice spot. We enjoyed our time here.

Very nice and off the beaten path. Large meadow with only 3 sites. Super quiet and great for kids.

Secluded and beautiful
Secluded camping by a beautiful meadow -- with gorgeous flowers, when we were there! There are picnic tables, shade, and it's nearby to several cool attractions, too. Note that it's a little tricky to identify the exact location of the campsites -- it's not super clear where to go if you arrive at night -- but overall, would highly recommend!
