This creek property was probably used by the Creek and then the Cherokee as a campsite because of the abundant water and wild life. Later is was farm land and in the 1920's had approximately fifty mules working the land. The Old barn and blacksmith shop are still here. In 1977 the government planned to put a four lane toll road through here but was stopped by the oil embargo which caused the right of way to be auctioned. We were able to buy 200 acres for a small amount of money and have been raising cattle and camping on it every since that time. As a Scout Master I have been using this site for camping for the past 15 years. Time to let others enjoy. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent or hammock in a grove of hardwood trees in a nice meadow on the banks of Lake Creek with old timey swimming hole. It is about 8 feet deep in center going to about 4' at sides and 20 feet long. Big stone grill is provided as well as large fire pit.

Our grandparents moved to the farm on Little Crow Creek on September 27, 1927 from up in Sinking Cove. They had six children with our dad, Charlie Jr., being one of them. Charlie Stubblefield Sr. was a very interesting man with a wide curiosity in just about anything that had to do with history, Indian artifacts, Civil War, fossils, oral history, religion and more. Therefore, the small museum on the property next to the pavilion is dedicated to our grandfather. Charlie Sr. and our grandmother served as Justices of the Peace for over 30 years. Further, our grandmother was the backbone of the family, and was a gracious lady with a special personality to handle the rigors of the day; we miss them both very much. The area has many interesting stories and legacies of characters of yesterday and today. Visiting The Bolo Club will be like stepping back in time to a slower pace where hopefully you will be able to enjoy the atmosphere and spirit of the farm.Learn more about this land:The Bolo Club has a unique combination of accommodations and activities, making it the perfect getaway.

We loved tent camping at Little River Adventure Center. Access to a shower (during seasons where pipes won’t freeze) is something we aren’t used to, but warmly welcome! We feel like the sites offer a good amount of privacy especially if you get the first pick. We chose the very last site and it’s definitely the most secluded, and the easement allowed great stargazing. Great hiking access to DeSoto State Park and Little River Canyon. We also drove 45 minutes over to Cloudland Canyon which was another great park to hike.

Great site, very nice well appointed pitch areas that are all individually secluded, you could choose from wooded or non wooded areas, there is also a cool nature trial that runs around the large property, if you like motorcycle trail riding you can actually rent 250cc trail bikes on site, these can be used for riding the extensive trails very close by to take you to some stunning scenic areas. You are also situated very close to a beautiful 11 mile scenic byway with several vista points. This area would be great all year round especially in the Autumn. Also a great little shower and bath house, with more showers being installed and planned. Giorgio and his Wife Tiffany are very kind and gracious hosts.

This is a very nice spot, but there are a few things I wish we had known in advance. It doesn’t have the privacy we hoped for, as the two campsites are less than 100 feet apart with very few trees in between. Next time, we’ll rent both campsites so we have it all to ourselves. There’s a rooster nearby that starts getting very active around 4:30 AM. Also, the creek has no current so it gets very buggy - bring plenty of bug spray! Some firewood was supplied but wasn’t chopped, and it wasn’t kept under cover… fortunately it hadn’t rained in awhile so it wasn’t too wet to burn, but I wish we had brought an axe.

If my dog could use Hipcamp, he would book this site every week. Great shady space for camping and relaxing. The outhouse looks good- clean and well-kept. We saw deer when driving around, and someone's Pyrenees came by to check us out but didn't engage with my dog.

I had the absolute best time camping here with my best friend and my two-year-old daughter. We were the only campers and were treated by the ponies and donkeys grazing in our tent pasture. The Highland cows were as cute as could be and very close by, as was a stunning, large cow. Janna was incredibly nice. Responded fast to any message and gave us tours around the animals and to the back of her house, where the goats and pigs were staying. We got the whole place to ourselves, but there would’ve been plenty of room if other campers were there too. Having a picnic table to use was a nice treat (and safe haven for my toddler who was scared of the dark animals). The bathroom was clean and wonderful to have close by. My friend slept perfectly but my 2 year old and I were up late with kittens climbing over the tent. It was mostly funny since they were so cute, and I don’t expect to sleep perfectly when camping anyways. They eventually settled, on our tent, and slept directly above my friend’s head. The memory of that and stories to tell completely make up for the late night. My daughter never quite warmed up to it, but now that we’re back home, she’s talking nonstop about the ponies and donkeys and cows and how much she loves them. Throughout our stay, she would randomly yell, “I’m having so much fun!!” Despite being stranded on the picnic table LOL. Cannot wait to come back!!!!
