I recently spent a weekend at Great Times Camp Ground through Hipcamp, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, relaxed, and totally immersed in nature—yet with every comfort I needed.
What stood out:
• Peaceful & Scenic Setting
The campsites are nestled in beautiful woods, with plenty of privacy. Waking up to birdsong and filtered sunlight through the trees immediately recharged me.
• Well-Kept Grounds & Amenities
The entire site is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Paths are easy to find, sites are level and spacious, and facilities (restrooms, water points, etc.) are all in good shape. It strikes a great balance: rustic enough to feel like real camping, but convenient enough to feel comfortable.

Quiet and peaceful spot all by it's self. Easy to find and back into. There are lots of deer and you will have horses for neighbors :) I stayed a couple nights here as I was hiking near by. There are 3 other Hipcamp sites on the property and even with all of them booked, it was still very quiet. I would stay again if were in the area. Thanks for having us!

Great site. Would definitely return. Site is mostly soft grass with some small gravel on the high traffic areas, plenty of space, and right along a nice creek. There's some activity from the public canoe launch nearby, but it's overall nice and private. Only wish would be having the porta potty closer.

We loved tent camping at Creekside Grill! The open lean-to structure was the perfect place for stashing our cooler and bags so that we had plenty of extra room in our tent. It would also be very handy in case of rain. We took the kayaks and spent a few hours exploring downstream. The water was cold and clear and deep enough for a nice swim on a hot day. We booked a Sunday and Monday and walked down to the Beer Garden in Sunday afternoon for live music, drinks, and dinner from a food truck. The campsite was far enough from the Beer Garden that the noise wouldn't have bothered us. It was so quiet and peaceful, especially at night with moonlight shining on the water and the sound of an owl up in the trees. We also saw a heron, a local swan, and a hawk in the tree above the porta potty. Also, the Porta Potty was very clean! We will definitely come back for a longer stay next summer.
