What a warm and wonderful family to share this experience with. Mandy and Beau welcomed us so genuinely that we honestly forgot we were Hipcampers — it felt like staying with longtime friends. The location is a perfect blend of upscale, peaceful neighborhoods and unbeatable access to the area’s best beaches: Anna Maria, Cortez, Coquina, Holmes, and Bradenton Beach are all just minutes away, with easy walks to the shoreline and nearby fishing piers. The calm, clear water and soft white sand make it ideal for families with kids.
Within just a few miles you’ll find a golf country club, a sports complex, and a full shopping area with Publix and Target. And truly, you don’t need to bring a thing — the RV is spotless, thoughtfully organized, fully stocked with EVERYTHING, and spacious enough for the whole family.
Mandy and Beau, thank you for all the TLC and the coffee maker- that was my highlight! 🧳
We’ll definitely be back soon. 🧑🧒

Loved our hosts. They were very responsive to requests and troubleshooting. Loved being able to hang out with their family as our dogs played. Camper was well equipped with we could possibly need- in the camper and for going to the beach. They provided dog bowls and a dog mat for us to use. Their son was sweet and very respectful and polite. Loved meeting some of his friends as well
The Neil had many young children that played outside. Neighborhood was safe and relatively quiet outside of work hours when leaving for work.
Great family- would definitely book again.

Mandy and Beau were such gracious and welcoming hosts. They ensured that we had everything we needed and were very responsive. The space was clean, stocked with kitchen necessities, and well maintained. The area was stellar as it is a short drive to the beach and has a cute downtown area with plenty of dining options. Just overall great vibes! Would definitely book again

Thank you John and family for an amazing trip! You can see from the property’s attention to detail how much they care to provide an excellent experience! The cabin is stunning! It has everything you need! The beds are super comfortable! The firepit was beautifully set up. The bathroom was clean and the outdoor shower was great! The girls had a great time on the trampoline, swings, and playing with the pups. The sunset boat trip was such a treat! Please just go and experience it for yourself!

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat
The truth is that the photos do not do this place justice: it is much more beautiful in real life than I ever imagined. It is a very cozy, peaceful spot surrounded by nature, with a wonderful atmosphere and charming details in every corner. Having a river right next to it and an area to go fishing was a perfect bonus. I absolutely loved it and it exceeded all my expectations. Without a doubt, we will come back and recommend it to our friends.

I loved this place! Perfectly taken care of and so clean. The bed was so comfortable. I had to peek at the mattress to figure out what it was and I will be getting one for my house.

Check in was quick and easy at the entrance, we were escorted to our site, and the accommodations for us and our pets were excellent. The trailer was clean and well equipped, including kitchen equipment, fresh towels, and linens. The WiFi worked well, and there was a good selection of cable channels on tv. There was such a large choice of amenities in the park that most people could stay busy. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, activities throughout the day, and walking trails all over the park. Additionally there is an on site restaurant next to the pool to pick up a quick meal. Would definitely stay there again. Check out was a simple task of dropping off the key.

Great spot on the water. U can fossil right there or rent a canoe for $50 to get around. Beautiful oaks every where. There is a community area u can cook at with big fireplace. We stayed in the tiny house because I hurt my back. The kids stayed in loft and wife and I tried sofa bed. Don't do it. We ended up putting cushions on floor and slept. Great place I would just stay in tent next time.unless it's summer. The tiny house has a. I will go again

My family had a great time at John’s camp and we were all sad to be leaving. The place was clean and well stocked. John was friendly and there if you needed him but, we never felt like we were being watched. My husband and I loved being able to take our daughter on the kayaks (which were a great price), my daughter loved the trampoline and plethora of swings, and our dog loved being able to lounge on the deck with the occasional visit from John’s dogs. Overall could not recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a quiet getaway especially if you enjoy being on the water.

Loved it here. Clean, cozy, and the canoe ride this morning was heavenly. I’ve been wanting to come here for awhile and it didn’t disappoint one bit. I’ll be back soon. Thanks to the awesome staff for being so attentive and always answering any questions I may have.
