4 Creeks Campground offers a serene escape with its spacious and private sites, surrounded by beautiful nature. The hosts, Michelle and Paul, are consistently praised for their friendliness and responsiveness, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests. While the creek can run low, it still provides a refreshing spot to cool off, and the area is perfect for outdoor activities like rock hounding and stargazing. Some reviews mention the presence of mosquitoes and the need for better-maintained facilities, but overall, campers appreciate the peaceful environment and the chance to unwind in a natural setting.

Camp at the Ranch
Had a wonderful weekend stay! Sites are big and wide open! Michelle was a very nice host, and place is well taken care of. Will definitely be back!
I stayed at the creek side site in a truck bed tent. 100% recommend for anyone trying to get some alone time in nature. There are 3 very relaxing spots to pull up to, though 4wd is necessary. The water is pretty low but still deep enough to lay down in and cool off, and the sunset was amazing! Mosquitos were very active but expect it near a creek. Michelle was very responsive and answered my many questions about the location and sites.

Michelle and Paul were fantastic hosts! My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at the creekside site.
4 creeks and the surrounding area are a great destination.

Sun Up Creekside
Would definitely come back! Unfortunately the creek adjacent to this site was dried up in late August, but we walked less than a quarter mile to where it was flowing. Not super deep water to swim, but very nice to cool off in! Shelley was very nice and welcoming.
great place to stay a few days to just unwind and relax. The host was most accommodating and just a really nice person. I recommend any tent camp site here, all were nice.
4 Creeks Campground has definitely grown since we were there 4 years ago. Several more sites, all are surrounded by trees and feel very secluded. The creeks were pretty shallow in August, but quite refreshing! Michelle and Paul are great hosts and are very helpful. They sent us to a beautiful blue spring Michelle even brought her sweet dogs over for a couple visits. This was are second time staying with them and we will definitely be back!
Right from the start Shelly made us feel right at home and even went out of her way to find us an adapter so we could have fans for both tents (real feel was about 115 that weekend YUCK!) nice property for a weekend camping trip :) will definitely be going back!
The grounds are positively beautiful and I love that the sites are not super close together. Families have space to spread out a little bit, and the best part is the creeks which are within walking distance and perfect for summer camping trips especially with little ones. We love love loved it!!!

I loved the privacy and access to water at this campsite. My pup and I came for two days and stayed for four; we were enchanted by the waterway area. Thank you Michelle and Paul. Looking forward to my next visit back.

Beautiful location and super helpful and responsive host.
The place was gorgeous! The owner was super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. The tent spots are far enough apart that you barley realize that you are at a campsite. The creek was amazing too. We went swimming every day and if you like to collect rocks like us there are a lot of cool ones. She also said that their are arrow heads around the creek too! Town is not to far away for anything you may have forgotten.
This place is magical! Michelle and Paul greeted us with open arms. We were very very late for the check in and they were very understanding. We absolutely loved the beautiful and private tent site, it’s easy access to the creek, the crystal clear water, the stunning star ridden night sky and the adventure of searching for arrowheads, gems and crystals and even fossils on the water banks. Unforgettable experience. Can’t wait to go back!!

Sun Up Creekside
We loved staying here as a family. We had a very private weekend camping right beside the creek. Hosts were very nice and available for anything. The showers and bathrooms were minimal but perfectly acceptable for the price of admission.
This was our fourth trip to Four Creeks Ranch, and it gets better every year. Our tent site next to the creek was absolutely gorgeous, and the stargazing at night is tough to beat. Shelly and Paul are wonderful people and amazing hosts. They even have ice for sale now which saved us a trip into town. A+ experience, can't wait to go back next year!

June 2026. This is probably my 4 th time staying at 4CR and I love it just as much. The camp is so clean. The water was wonderful and so close that my kids could go play and I could see them.

The campsite was well kept and clean. Unfortunately there were not quiet hours and other campers were playing music late into the night. Additionally, the sites were advertised as having a water spigot, but no spigot was close by and we were told to use the same spigot as what hooked up to the showers and bathroom.
Private, quiet, beautiful campsite. The area was clean and had access to a clear-water creek. We saw a multitude of native birds, rabbits, and bullfrog tadpoles and found many geodes with crystals. This campsite is a wonderful spot to rest, relax and engage with nature.

Camp at the Ranch
We had a good stay overall. Shelly was incredibly helpful and kind, and having ice and firewood available on site was a huge convenience. Cell service was spotty and Shelly always answered text and was flexible when we decided to stay another night. There were 10 of us, ages 11-65, and we had plenty of space and privacy. Everyone loved riding dirt bikes and ATVs, searching for rocks and geodes, and playing in the creek.
The location was convenient for visiting the Black River, Blue Spring, Rocky Falls, and Johnson Shut ins. A Dollar General and a grocery store are very close as well.
My only complaint was the porta-potties needed cleaned and the shower didn’t drain completely due to the tilt of the concrete. Because of this some of our group wouldn’t shower.
I would stay here again if we return to the area.
The land is beautiful. There are several scattered sites, a couple of spots by the creek and the secluded little spot we got shaded by black walnut trees that felt magical. There are creeks running through the property, a shower, restrooms, ice and wood. Shelly is extremely sweet, helpful and hospitable. Expect to see raccoons, frogs, the occasional snake along with butterflies and lighting bugs. There were also Cardinals, bright blue indigo buntings and lots of native wildflowers. The only downside was the ticks but that is absolutely everywhere and to no fault of their own. Our favorite part was definitely the overall scenery with the creek being so close- the healthy trees and rolling hills. We would absolutely recommend and would love to visit again. Thanks Shelly & Paul for creating the perfect camping spot.
