Group trip
There are two potential areas to set up camp, some permanent chairs, a picnic table, the fire pit with some tools for it, a clean outhouse with clear directions inside, thoughtful area/arrangements that look like it would be a little fairy garden for children or something fun like that near one of the buildings. There is a large locked shed. We found the two trails and where they sort of can connect to the bike trails, which was fun. We were able to gather some extra fallen wood to burn from the woods. Very little noise is heard from the road and it is quiet and a lovely place! My group was very happy to howl at the moon here and would love to come back.

We had a great time there. Louedith’s place is great. Chris was a gem! We loved that y’all invited us up for some music and we even got to sing some karaoke! Joan had a good walk around the area and we enjoyed church right there in walking distance of our site. But we drove over anyway. We felt so at home! I’m sure we will be going back.

We enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was. Louedith was very responsive and when we had an issue with our sewer hose she and her husband responded immediately and tried to help remedy our situation. We enjoyed exploring trails and waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest. Would definitely stay here again.

We love this spot! It is convenient to both Asheville and Waynesville but has the peace and quiet of the country. The views of the mountains are wonderful. We camped in a 23’ travel trailer and had plenty of space for truck and trailer. Site 1 is next to the Airbnb but everyone has plenty of privacy with the way they both are situated and a privacy wall that has been built between the 2. Site 1 is gravel and well packed and very level. He didn’t have to do much more than pull in and park. Hook ups are good but a longer water hose (50’) may be needed. The barn is charming and gives another hang out space when you don’t want go go nowhere but don’t want to be in the camper. Louedith is a wonderful host. She is very welcoming and genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay. We will be back.

We really enjoyed staying at Creekstone. Very quiet and peaceful. Getting turned around and into the Vista 2 was a puzzle, but we managed really enough. Extra cords and hoses are a must depend on your trailer/RV.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending time at Louedith's property. Though our site was right next to a house she rents out via AirBnB & VRBO, there were no guests staying while we were there and so it still seemed pretty private for being in a small neighborhood. The view was breathtaking and we spent our evenings next to the communal firepit. The hosts provided well-seasoned firewood bundles for $10 and even let us buy extra for the next leg of our trip.
Louedith was very responsive to all of our questions and provided great directions to the property. As hosts ourselves, we appreciated the detailed information. If you are in the area and are looking for a break from the big RV campgrounds, I highly suggest checking out one of Louedith's Creekstone sites.

Our site was further away from the road so it was a great site. The river is right down from the campground and it's a gorgeous area. Our site was level and well equipped. We were able to face our camper toward the river which we like a lot. The area is quiet and serene. The sites are equipped with fire ring, full hook up, new picnic table. There was enough road area in the camp area to walk our dogs. The dumpster is far enough away but close enough to walk to. The sites are spaced well enough apart.

What a beautiful site! And convenient. Our host Louedith is amazing and we met some other wonderful campers during our stay. We didn’t realize all the barn has to offer until our last day when we were picnicking at our campsite with family when a squall came through. We sought refuge in the barn and what an absolutely amazing space it is. A great place for a family reunion! Maybe next year… 🩷

Great site! PERFECT location, just miles from Asheville without the congestion, and easy access to state parks, blue ridge parkway, and any other attraction you're visiting the area for!
The site is clean and beautiful with relative privacy, but at site 3 you'll have a close neighbor.
I highly recommend this place. Louedith has been great.
