CreekSide 7
What an amazing place to relax and unwind!site number 7 was so peaceful and private. The creek is lovely and we enjoyed the sounds of the water all weekend. Loved taking walks and enjoying the creeks and property! We have found our weekend getaway spot for sure!! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away and relax.

Private and peaceful spot right at the edge of the river. Traveled solo with a dog and felt safe and secluded. You can hear the rapids all night long. Matthew met us at the gate to drive us in since we were arriving after dark! Will come back again! Only ~12 minutes from I-40.

Absolutely beautiful, very private spot. If you need a break from the typical campground with a row of RVs lined up this is the spot. Bring everything you need with you since there isn't much nearby. The internet was spotty and eventually would send a text but nothing you can count on. I got lost finding it and had to go back to where I had internet to read the message. Which was sent the day I arrive but I was driving all day so didn't realize there was a message with directions. It would be helpful to post a picture of the gate which said "David's Place" which made me think I was in the wrong spot since the posting says Matthew & Amanda. It was a beautiful spot and a pleasure to stay!

We loved camping at Melson Farms! Beautiful and spacious campsite with a great view of Little Piney Creek. The campsite was clean and well maintained. Quick booking and great communication with Matthew and Amanda.

This campsite was a dream location and site!!
I’ve stayed at Hipcamps all across the country, and this one was by far my favorite. It’s a little hidden gem—peaceful, private, and beautifully maintained. Like other reviewers mentioned, I only stayed one night while passing through on a cross-country trip, and I truly wish I could have stayed longer. The site felt incredibly safe and serene, with thoughtful touches that made it clear the host really cares. Communication from the hosts was also fantastic—responsive, kind, and helpful throughout.
The site was perfect for my dog, too, who was able to safely explore and relax, which made the stay even more special.
Huge thanks to The Melsons for sharing this amazing space—if you’re considering booking, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

This campsite is absolutely incredible—a true dream location.
We arrived after dark, but waking up to the stunning beauty of our surroundings was such a treat. I only wish we’d had more time to stay and enjoy it longer, but we were on a quick cross-country trip.
A special shoutout to Matthew for the thoughtful touch of leaving beer and firewood at the site. It was such a kind gesture and exactly what we needed after a long day on the road. Thank you!

Beautiful serene camping spot next to the creek. It was relatvely quick to a bunch of trailheads. Hosts left firewood which was a lovely unexpected plus! If it's conducive to our next cross country roadtrip we'll definitely stay again.

Found this place by accident as I was travelling the US and what a gem! Absolutely beautiful creekside spot with privacy. No sound or light pollution, could see every star in the sky. A truly peaceful spot with the sounds of nature and creekside stream.

We came to Lamar for the total solar eclipse. It was amazing! We felt so lucky to have found CreekSide at Melson Farms. The property is expansive with lots of places settle in and camp or park your RV. The creek is pretty and the sounds are soothing. We received a warm welcome from Amanda. She also checked in on us the next day. Overall it was a great experience, and if we are ever in the area again, we would totally come back!
