Tranquil A-Frame At Cypress Edge
John’s A frame was great ! We arrived and he came to great us and show us in. Lovely place, clean, very big bed. In the morning we took some kayaks out down the creek which was so lovely and provided with the stay. In addition, his son took us on a tour of the creek on the boat they have to look for some alligators. We were sad we only had one night. But it was great ! Thank you

WOW WOW WOW!!
This place! So many fun cool things built out to hang out and explore, the kids were in a wonderland. We camped in the creekside B camp and it was a tightttt squeeze getting our camper back there but once we got in there man was it worth it. We would 100 percent come again if passing through. Book it!

Christmas Camping gone right!
My husband and I are camping through Florida for a few weeks to get out of the cold of WNC. We booked one night at John’s and loved it so much we decided to book 3 more nights through Xmas. The weather couldn’t have been better and bugs were at a minimum this time of year. He provided a great deal on firewood and kayak rentals right from his double decker dock. He has the cutest spacious backyard set up, with tiki bar, hammocks, swings, trampoline, private creek side campsites. We stayed at campsite b and had a fire pit with chairs and picnic table, with plenty of room to park the car and pitch our tent. Also provided electric for our air mattress! Has a real toilet in a bathroom off the house which is nice compared to some camping bathrooms and a privacy fence enclosed outdoor shower with plenty of hot water and great water pressure. He checked in on us regularly and is always available to answer questions quickly. Thanks for the great Christmas camping retreat John!

The Hideaway
The Best
Wow, what great spot. A playground, cabanas, a dock, decks, kayaks, all at your convenience. And John, the host, is great. You are welcome to hang out in the communal area or just stay private in your campsite. Highly recommended.

Exceeds expectations!!!!
For this being my first hipcamp experience, it set the bar REALLY high. This was one of the best experiences my sons and I have had and we go around the state camping regularly. John, the host, was phenomenal, flexible, and a friend I wish I had regularly. This is an amazing place for family and friends to congregate, whether it’s cold or hot! We can’t wait to go back during the summer and swim in the creek that runs along the sites and has a double decker dock to jump off. More importantly, the community fire out and tiki bar will be a hit spot when we bring our friends and family with us next time! 10/10!!! The photos dont do it justice! See for yourself!
