Weekend Trip to Dennis & Melissa's Hidden Creek

Melissa’s land was so fun to explore for a long weekend! We had so much fun fishing in their pond and hanging out by the campfire. Our dog fell in the love with the cows. We can’t wait to stay again!

3 nights at Beautiful Lake Camping

We had a great little getaway with a beautiful view. Great hosts! They gifted us with a carton of fresh eggs from their chickens. We will visit again!

The grounds are very well kept, and the sites are very level and well spaced. The hosts could not be more accommodating, and they are very personable. They genuinely want their guests to have a good time.

Melissa and Dennis’ spot was a sweet, quiet spot. We only spent one night on our way through South Carolina but would definitely go back. Melissa and Dennis were there to greet us when we arrived and were super accommodating, even turning the water on for us even though it was turned off due to the cold weather. Would definitely recommend their place to anyone looking for a scenic, peaceful place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Dennis & Melissa's Hidden Creek

I have not met a kinder couple of folks in my travels than Melissa and Dennis (& family). They embody what I love about people in the South! Beautiful, secluded and quiet farm land that struck the perfect balance of amenities and sites with a very safe and laid back feel, the perfect environment for camping. (Great lighting was provided if wanted) I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and the opportunity to meet Melissa and Dennis, who both made me feel like a friend upon arrival. I will definitely be going back for another visit in the Spring. There is so much to do and explore in the area. Thank you both for your hospitality!

I enjoyed the spot and the readiness of the hosts with various questions I had about the area. They seem to be having a great time hosting people in their campground and were willing to talk at anytime. If I make it back to the area they will be my first choice of somewhere to stay
