    Tent camped at Creekside "A" with kids, Oct 2026.

    Loved our visit this weekend at the Creekside A site!! Sites are large enough and set far from the main house that it felt super private, with the option to use the bathroom or shower if you walk towards the community area with the docks. It was def a plus that the “B” site was empty so we had the whole place to ourselves. Every little spot on the water is absolutely picturesque!! And the owners left us plenty of privacy while also being so helpful when we needed anything. They went above and beyond to help us catch a fish too lol. If you’re looking for a site that’s pretty private with that old Florida primitive vibe (without actually being primitive) this is a great spot! Warning that across the creek from our site is a little boat ramp and dock where people come to fish - there was only one loud boat in the morning and it didn’t bother us but worth mentioning. We would totally come again! Great mems for my 3yo’s first camping trip :)

    • This is only have of the campsite! Plenty of space for 3-4 tents and cars to spread out.
    • The water right off our site. Absolutely beautiful
    • Fishing off the dock!
