This Property was purchased by Grandfather in the 70s and then was passed to my Mother. In 2013 I decided to live life differently and start from the ground up building with natural materials and found materials. At that time I was fortunate enough to have the land passed to me and I started building a home for myself and to be close to my mothers home nearby. After achieving the basics I decided that the best use of this beautiful land was to create a place for people to relax and enjoy, a park like environment dedicated to preserving natural beauty and amplifying it through a permaculture lifestyle. 8 years later I am blown away at how far the dream has become a reality and love sharing my space with people from all over the country.

We live on an absolutely gorgeous 25-ish acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River).
Me, my wife, and young kids have opened the most rustic and basic camping experience on a peninsula situated on the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"...
Because of the peninsula and the low bridge, I’m fairly confident we have one of the most private, secluded, and SAFE locations you could imagine.
If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you.
If you’re looking for a loud, raucous place to bring a beer bong, kindly keep looking…
We are after families that are looking to create outdoor memories that last a lifetime!
*Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

Weekend Trip to 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve
2nd time here, our experience at 3 Creek Camp was wholesome. Just as the first time. If you’re looking for a cool homestead to stay, like outdoors, camping style, connecting with nature, yourself, others, and enjoying the peace. This place is for you.
Damon is an amazing soul. 🫶 can’t thank you enough for the incredible weekend we had!

Glamping sites were great, each with its own deck space (great for giving the dogs just the right amount of freedom).

The A-Frame did not disappoint! A great way to relax along a lake view and enjoy peace and quiet. Jesse was very accommodating and made us feel so welcome and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Going to come back here again in the fall!

We loved staying at the creek house.
Such a comfortable cabin very cool style.
Sitting in there with the curtains blowing the windows open the little fairy lights under the loft it was a level of relaxation i hadn’t experienced maybe never in my life before.
If you’re looking to get away from It all, this is the place.
I brought two of my kids with me nine and 12 years old I think it was equally enjoyable for them too. They loved the web up in the trees to jump on especially

We had a great weekend. There was alot of rain on our weekend there but when the sun peaked out, we boated and swam on the lake, fished off the dock and had a great time. The boys camped and the girls stayed in the farmhouse. Jesse was an excellent host. The area was beautiful!

Weekend Trip to 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve
Damon was a nice host that offered assistance when needed. I stayed in the Creek Campsite and it was a joy! The property is beautiful and he has a web that was nice to sit on and look at the stars. Easy to navigate in and out of the site (even with a little sedan). Only stayed for one night, but it just so happened to be a night full of music and a light show.

Weekend Trip to River Island Venture Resort
The treehouse is very well thought out and if you’re a seasoned camper is pretty much luxury accommodation. We enjoyed 2 nights and wanted for nothing. We were also givin a kayak to use and ice for our time. A great place to escape with little distractions to unplug and unwind.

We had such a great time at this treehouse stay on Hipcamp! The whole experience felt like a little adventure—being out on the island was absolutely amazing and so peaceful.
Jeff, the owner, was fantastic—super friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish.
The kids had an incredible time exploring, playing, and just enjoying being outdoors. It’s one of those trips they’re still talking about!
Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something unique, relaxing, and fun for the whole family.

We loved our stay at Damon's creekhouse! I've been a few times now and it's such a pleasant experience every time. The house is amazing, we could hear the water, frogs croaking and other nature sounds while laying in bed. 10/10!

1st time camping here and it was wonderful. Staff is extremely attentive and nice. Very laid back and unstressful which is really what your looking for on a weekend getaway to recharge from the day to day. The glamping tent we booked was extremely clean and comfortable overlooking the river making it very tranquil. If you bring children, the site has a myriad of events and activities to keep them busy and having fun. The whole facility is extremely well kept and a lot of thought and effort was put in to create the appropriate holiday theme of the season (we were there late Oct and it looked fabulous). We are definitely going to book another stay there especially with all the warm weather activities they have like kayaking and tubing. We might consider one of thier more excluded camping sites that they offer. Very much recommend checking it out whether old or young.

Absolutely amazing experience. We stayed at the creek house and it was the cutest little place right over the creek. Damon was super friendly and met us and showed us around. Will def try to visit again.

Where to go
Pee Dee and the Grand Strand
The Pee Dee River runs all the way from the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina to Georgetown on the Atlantic Coast. This northeastern slice of South Carolina is best known for its Grand Strand beaches, whether camping at the hugely popular Myrtle Beach resorts, bird-watching at Huntington Beach State Park, or teeing off at one of the many coastal golf courses.
Lowcountry
Hemmed in by the Savannah River and the Atlantic Coast, the southwestern lowlands are an idyllic stretch of marshlands, barrier islands, and coastal towns. Hunting Island State Park is the state’s most visited park, and a paradise for bird-watchers and campers, while RV parks dot the beaches of Hilton Head Island. The palmetto-fringed beaches of Edisto Beach State Park are a favorite for summer campers, and James Island County Park, just outside Charleston, is a crabbing hotspot.
Midlands
The state capital Columbia dominates the rolling hills of South Carolina’s Midlands, and the region’s highlights all lie within easy reach. Family campgrounds dot the shores of nearby Lake Murray, Sesquicentennial State Park has a woodland campsite and boating lake, and part of the 500-mile Palmetto Trail passes through Poinsett State Park. Nearby, Congaree National Park has hiking and kayaking trails, two campgrounds, and backcountry camping.
Upcountry
The Blue Ridge Mountains tumble down over the border from North Carolina, and South Carolina’s mountainous north is a natural playground of forested valleys, lakes, and waterfalls. Greenville is the starting point for exploring the north, from where you can hike the 3,533-foot summit of Sassafras Mountain, the state’s highest peak; camp amid the mountains in Table Rock State Park; or explore the multi-use trails at Paris Mountain State Park. For backcountry camping, it doesn’t get much better than the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, which links the Jones Gap and Caesars Head state parks.
