Perfection is the only way to describe this hidden gem. The host, Joe, could not have been more amazing. From greeting to departure I feel that I made a friend. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Made it into downtown Arcadia and had a great lunch and did some shopping. Close to peace river to find shark teeth. I hope joe keeps this place for years to come.

Joe was a great host. Easy to talk to and very accommodating with his property. We loved our camp site and enjoyed all of the wildlife it had to offer. It is even more active early in the mornings. A lovely walk around the property doesn't disappoint. Joe loves to entertain the birds and squirrels as well. So many animals flourish to this site. We saw a bobcat, otters, an array of birds, deer, a turkey and some cows. I will definitely be back!!!! Thank you joe!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Loved this spot! We were able to tent camp on their land and enjoy all of the sweet silly animals. Bobbi was so sweet and accomidating! During the day we went out on hikes in the nearby kissimmee prairie preserve state park and at night we laid out on the trampoline an looked at the stars (even saw a few shooting ones!).

This campsite is incredibly spacious, making it perfect for large groups while still offering plenty of privacy. There’s even a small entry to the creek, providing a perfect spot for fishing. The retreat offers a wide range of activities to enjoy. We took a boat ride with Captain John, who is not only knowledgeable but also an excellent tour guide. One afternoon, we went kayaking, which was both fun and relaxing. Additionally, there's an overhead deck where you can fish or simply lounge and watch the sunset. There are plenty of spots around the retreat to unwind and take in the natural beauty. The entire campground is beautifully decorated, and you can really feel the thoughtful care that went into every detail. John and his parents are amazing hosts who are very attentive and truly make you feel at home. Plus, the dogs are super friendly, and Roxie is the perfect co-captain! We can't recommend this place enough. What started as just needing a place to sleep turned into a five-day experience full of fun and unforgettable memories. We will definitely be coming back!

My husband and I loved our stay at "R" camp. Craig was attentive and helpful and the land was beautiful, peaceful and secluded. Our covered wagon was spotlessly clean, and I loved the magnetic mosquito net. What a clever idea! A great place for dogs. A great place to get away. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to "R" camp.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Craig's treehouse. He was a gracious host and made sure to answer any questions we had, including making sure we found our way safely to the site. I appreciated that we were allowed use of the propane grill in the main common house. It's decently well-lit at night with solar lights. Great choice for bringing pets too - our one dog loved running around, and the other enjoyed watching safely from the treehouse deck. We'd love to come back with our son next time.
