Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

The environment is so peaceful and quiet. It a beautiful place to relax. The host was very helpful when I reached out to them.

1 night at Creekside Camping

Emma’s land is so beautiful! She was our late night hero as we had difficulty finding a place to stay (unexpected campground closures along the way). She was responsive and friendly - making sure we knew exactly where to go. Sleeping under the stars with the gentle flow of the nearby creek and waking up to beautiful birdsongs and frog choruses was a lovely reset along our traveling way. There was also a clean toilet space we could use. Excited for Emma’s hopes to keep transforming the space! Until then, if you need to park your truck with your popup tent or pitch a tent for the night, this is a lovely spot!!

1 night at Morning Star's Mountain View

Tami and her Husband Richard are living Saints. They are the most wonderful, welcoming, and interesting people I have ever met. Their land is amazing, with scenery to get lost in. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Camping

Emma was extremely accommodating allowing us a late check in and setting an alarm to wake up and greet us. She even checked on us the next morning.

6 nights at Out On The Creek Campground & RV

My husband and I loved our stay at site number two. The host takes great care in making sure the site is perfect and ready for you to enjoy your stay! We were looking for a clean creek area free of glass for our dogs to play in and this was just the place. If you are looking for the same thing, this site is an awesome option for kids or animals! The host is very responsive and makes sure that you are taken care of and have everything you need. The only complaint we had is that the site is right by the highway and the road traffic noise is very high, it didn't stop us from enjoying the place but it may be something to watch out for. Aside from that, we highly recommend site 2 and we will definitely be back!!!

2 nights at Fluffy Duckling Farm

Beautiful views. Gracious hosts. Would definitely recommend.

1 night at Morning Star's Mountain View

The site was as promised and nestled into a nice view of forest all around. Quiet and peaceful! The host was most generous and easy to communicate with when necessary. I’d stay here again.

Weekend Trip to 10 acres on the Clinch River,

Beutiful place to camp stayed here many times, always enjoyed it!

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Everything. When I reached out they replied. I can't wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

I believe this was our 4th stay at site 2 & it never disappoints. We spend most of our time playing in the creek. We're already booked again next month!

Weekend Trip to Happy Camper at Floras Retreats

We loved our stay here! One night definitely wasn’t enough, we definitely plan on returning this year!

3 nights at Backyard Warriors

I was looking for a place close to camp with my dogs, found this place and was really surprised! Rolling fields and wooded sites, each conveniently provided with a trash barrel and fire pit are provided at each site. Add in delicious Filipino food freshly cooked and served on site, and it’s a deal that can’t be beat. Kyle responds to messages quickly through the app and said to let him know if I needed anything at all, which I did not. Porta-potties are provided on both ends of the camp road, and water is available at each site. There are no electrical connections so come ready for that. But if you can “semi-rough” it, this is your place.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Clean,friendly, and right on the creek. I would stay again!

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp

Beautiful view, gated area, super nice hosts. My kids loved being greeted by their dogs and seeing their horses and sheep! I would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rock Bottom Horse Camp

Amazing site with perfect amenities. Our 2nd time staying here and it’s even better! Great host!!

Weekend Trip to Tranquil- Lakefront living

This site is a hidden treasure! We throughly enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend and loved how accommodating the hosts were. Shaylen left some firewood to start us out which was so helpful. Also, we caught a turtle fishing on the lake so that was a huge highlight. Thanks for an amazing stay and can’t wait for next time!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Camping

Property was a peaceful getaway, owner was very nice and brought us some wood and a fire pit.

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp

The host John and his wife and 3 totally adorable dogs are wonderful. The facilities are new, clean and well maintained. If you have horses the trails are right there to get into the national park .. a beautiful park!! My son who I was traveling with is partially physically challenged. John has the most advanced trail accessibility equipment available… some electric all terrain and others that are arm strength propelled. He and his wife are also very involved in the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park and volunteer their time there. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

1 night at Lakefront Open Parking Spot

Very friendly and great communication! I really appreciated Shaylen’s flexibility and understanding with our travel needs.

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp
