I found my 10 acres 18 years ago, cleared a road and moved a little camper onto the property. During the next year my home, barn and dock were built. I have 2 tent camping areas for rent with a view of the Leadenwah Creek. There is 1 large fire pit area which is shared if both sites are occupied. My sweet lab, Stella, lives outside mostly, so she will be around and loves to visit the campers. This is a NO SMOKING property.

An absolutely stunning place to wake up in. Very peaceful right on the water and Frances is so welcoming. I’m so glad I was able to experience Frances’s place on my travels through.

Frances’s tent sites are nothing short of magical. They sit right on the edge of a beautiful saltwater marsh where you can watch redfish feeding, dolphins playing, and the most glorious sunrises you’ll ever see. The natural splendor of the place is only outshined by Frances herself; warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. She makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and memorable camping experience, this is the spot. Truly a gem.

Our stay at Frances’s place was absolutely wonderful. The property is stunning — wide open downs, breathtaking sunsets, and that golden-hour light that makes everything glow. It’s a peaceful, beautiful spot that feels both grounding and inspiring. We also really enjoyed sharing the space with another camper — everyone was very friendly and very generous, which made the experience even more special. Frances’s generosity, warmth, and hospitality are truly unparalleled. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable throughout our stay. You can feel how much care and heart she puts into hosting. We left feeling relaxed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended!

This spot has the most amazing sunsets! Great for fishing and kayaking. Fran is an awesome host and always accommodating. Stella is always your guide around the property. Super friendly with people and other dogs. The outdoor shower is my favorite spot especially on cool evenings. Would recommend to anyone who loves nature and quiet

Weekend Trip to Camp on the Creek

We really enjoyed camping here! It's a beautiful and peaceful property. My dog loved jumping off the dock trying to catch the shrimp jumping out the the water as the tide rolled out. There's an abundance of wildlife here. We saw armadillos running though the trees, caught little crabs scurrying across the dock, and watched the shorebirds hunt the fish that were schooling everywhere. Fran is a wonderful, kind host. It was also a pleasure having her dog, Stella, join us around the fire and our walks down to the water. I definitely plan on staying here again!

I would love to Keep this place a secret but I simply can’t. This place is beautiful and great for sight fishing for red drum. Frances is an amazing host that will accommodate you in any way possible. Stella is your night time host. She will stand guard by your tent all night long. She also will guide you around the property while keeping you safe even at night. She also makes a great campfire companion as it seems to be her favorite place. Tons of wildlife around the area and also a great spot for crabbing. Best experience so far!

Fran has a wonderful gorgeous spot, Stella her lab is a wonderful hostess also. I am a female solo camper and Fran was so nice to block off the other camp site so I’d feel alone and secure and have some time to myself. I spent a few days on her dock watching dolphins and fish jump. So much beautiful nature in abundance. The stars on the lake are magical and I found more mushrooms than I had seen in so long. Very beautiful place I would definitely recommend and plan to totally come back.
