River, stream, or creek glamping near Lake Placid

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

My mother had two criteria for where we stayed: cold A/C and a soft bed. This place exceeded both expectations beautifully. The bathroom close to the cabin was a plus.

Absolutely amazing private camping, John is an awesome host. Can't wait to go back.

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

John and his family have spent so much time and put so much love into the grounds. If you are a dog lover and have a well behaved dog....this place is pure heaven. I just stayed in the A-frame for 3 nights- to celebrate my 50th birthday. I had friends drive across the coast to stay as well, and they rented out the Hideaway Camp spots in addition to Creekside B. Everyone is far enough away that you feel secluded...but the little paths and trails take you where you need to go by foot quickly and easily. We played on the trampoline. Swang on the swings. Laid in the hammocks. Jumped off the dock and swam in Shell Creek. We went on a sunset cruise with JJ and had a blast. We had so much fun just hanging out on John and Patty's property...that we didn't even find the time to use the kayaks we rented from them. The A-frame is unbelievable. I want to live there. T.v. A.C. Ice maker. Kerig coffee machine. Little fridge. Little microwave. Queen size air mattress upstairs...king size bed downstairs. The cutest deck you ever did see. Our own private flush toilet and sink with mirror. And a little outdoor sink with an attached hose for dishes and dog baths! My dog was also celebrating his 3rd birthday and he just had a blast with the resident dog Roxy. Every morning he would go out and find his doggie pals for a short game of zoomies and chase, before looping back. I made the BEST memories here!! Thank you John, Patty and JJ!! Best luck for the future. We will be back!!!

I recently stayed at J & P Creekside Retreat for a glamping getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful, natural setting made it feel like we had discovered a hidden gem. The accommodations were spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the comforts of home while still feeling adventurous and cozy.

The place was beautiful. We loved our trip there and John and everyone was extremely inviting and friendly. We look forward to coming back sometime this summer hopefully. Thanks again John for letting us stay!

Loved Johns site. The little A frame cabin was amazing. Everything there was well taken care and it was so peaceful amd relaxing. Had an amazing time I will go back.

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!

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!

We loved staying here. It is a super cool property with seasoned hosts who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and comfortable without being on top of you. Cannot wait to come back.

This was our second stay with John. What a great host and wonderful property. Low key “old Florida “ vibe with everything you will need to camp or “glamp”. Would definitely recommend this Hipcamp to any and all. Cheers John!!! Thanks for stay. SnJ.

Beautiful property. Very private and quiet. Relaxing vibe. John, Patty and their family are tremendous hosts. Great location.

Very quaint! Seems very secluded even tho it’s a 1/2 from our own home

What a fabulous glamping spot! Cabin has everything--electricity, fridge and microwave, grill outside, hammock, fire pit... this was just a stop along the way for me but it made me wish I'd planned to just hang out here more. John was great, very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed three nights at this peaceful, beautiful, romantic A frame cabin. We had originally booked for two nights & once we got there & saw how beautiful it was we knew we had to stay another night! It was my birthday weekend. The cabin was nestled back on the property to itself in a private area surrounded by beautiful cypress and other trees& landscape. Outside there was plenty of places to relax & take in the beauty of the place such as the hammock, the deck, or my personal favorite, a hammock type chair swing attached to a tree. I spent a lot of time there soaking up nature & listening to wind chimes, woodpecker and other birds in the background. At night we would lay on the hammock or sit around the camp fire & star gaze listening to the cricket's. The cabin itself was BEAUTIFUL. It had everything you need. The bed was comfortable. The ice maker was added bonus. The host John, Patty, their son John, grandson, and two sweet dogs were such friendly nice folks! Their son John helped make our trip by giving us lots of info on the area and taking us out for a ride on a boat. My husband made a new fishing buddy! My husband caught two bass & a bluegill that day. The family all wished me a happy birthday and I thought that was very sweet. My husband and I plan to come back again to stay in the cabin & my husband plans to go fishing again soon their son John. We cannot recommend this place enough. Also wanted to add whoever decorated the cabin did and amazing job!
