This is a rustic campsite, with rocks, roots, and steep terrain. Please bring your own camping gear, including chairs, and please take your trash with you. There is plenty of privacy, even though you are right near a public road that has very little traffic. There are no other campsites nearby and the owner lives 1/2 mile away. Recreation nearby includes Canoeing/kayaking on both the Elk River and Richland creek (shuttles can usually be arranged), Stillhouse Hollow Falls (beautiful waterfall hiking), Trail of Tears Interpretive Center, and Big Creek Winery.

Weekend Trip to Rock Creek Retreat & Ventures
To say my fiancé and I really enjoyed ourselves, is an understatement!! We kayak and do remote primitive camping on the side of rivers 1-2 every summer. This was a genuine relaxing vacation compared to those trips. We showed up on a Friday and immediately explored the water while we let the air run in our dome to cool it down a little. Some parts of the creek are knee deep but for the most part it’s pretty shallow. Which was perfect for us! We did experience thunderstorms, but it was actually very soothing!! Hated we couldn’t do a fire the first night but made the most of it with sandwiches and snacks! The next day we spent all day down in the creek. We took our chairs that came with the dome and placed them in the deepest part of the creek. That was SO relaxing! We loved it! Sat for hours! When we got hungry we made a fire and cooked some hotdogs! The table and chairs inside the dome were great to eat at and cool down with the fan in front of us before going back down to the water. We used the griddle for dinner to cook our bacon and burgers, while we used the attached rack in the fire pit to cook our canned baked beans and potatoes! We ate great!! The bed was very comfortable for us, we aren’t that picky since we usually are on the ground. The power bank was a great plus and came in handy when we were stuck inside from the rain. We talked the whole night about coming back with friends and family! We really really enjoyed ourselves and will be back! Thank you, Kara!

This was our second stay here, and was just what we needed to escape Nashville for a night.
The site is next to a small pond and was just as enjoyable as we remembered. We expected mosquitoes because of the water, but they were surprisingly minimal all weekend. We did get a few tiny ticks.
The biggest change since our last visit is the trees. They’ve leafed out enough that getting a hammock hung is much more difficult now. I ended up using my Haven XL stand instead, so I wouldn’t consider this site hammock friendly anymore unless you don’t mind spending time looking for a workable hang.
It was hot and humid during our stay, but the frogs made up for it once evening came. I even put my action camera in the pond hoping to capture some underwater wildlife. No fish or turtles, but the tannin-colored water was incredibly clear.
We’ll definitely be back. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a quiet weekend surrounded by nature.

We enjoyed our time at the campsite. It is right off their driveway but still private enough. There is a creek close enough that you can hear the rush. Site was clean and spacious. Bathroom area was decent as well. In my experience it was about 20 minutes from a gas station, no cell service but you can get service at a spot about 5 min up the road. Area is very rural but beautiful. Overall would recommend!

Lovely little spot. Camped in our SUV here with my son. Reserved on short notice while traveling. Host is very friendly and accommodating. Made sure we got in okay and had a fire ready for us before we got there. Primitive site but that’s all we needed! As an added bonus you can hear the frogs and other wildlife at night time and it’s super peaceful.
