Creekside Stayz Campground — Find Your Favorite Way to Stay Creekside Come slow down beside Trail Fork Creek at our small rural campground in Del Rio, Tennessee, between Hartford, TN, and Hot Springs, NC. Spend your days hiking, fishing, rafting or exploring the Smoky Mountains, then return to the sound of flowing water and a relaxing mountain evening. Choose the stay that suits you: • Del Linnea: a furnished canvas glamping tent for two, with a queen bed, provided oil-filled heater, electric blanket, free Wi-Fi and private hot-shower bathhouse. The toilet is a nearby shared campground porta-potty. No pets; service animals are accommodated as required. • Happy Camper: a furnished 32-foot camper for two, with one queen bed, electric fireplace, A/C maintained at 75°F, kitchen, free Wi-Fi and a private indoor shower and sink.

Winter campers must bring their own water and suitable toilet facilities; Rio Relaxing requires a self-contained RV with a toilet. Read the seasonal information for your selected accommodation before booking. We are a small campground, so other guests may be nearby. You may hear chickens, roosters, passing vehicles, farm equipment, birds, frogs and the creek. Deer and Great Blue Herons sometimes visit, and fireflies may appear in season.

Save your directions, campground map and arrival information before traveling. Wi-Fi is included at every accommodation except Barefoot. Firewood, fresh eggs, homegrown honey and other optional items may be available. Campsite showers may be available by appointment for an additional charge; the private showers at Del Linnea and Happy Camper are part of those accommodations. Occasional daytime chainsaw noise may be heard while we finish clearing wood from a previously removed tree. This work is brief and intermittent, most likely around noon to 3 PM. Come find your favorite way to stay creekside.

Absolutely beautiful site. Quiet. There is some casual local road traffic, but over the creek you can’t even hear it. 😂 Great communication from hostess. Very polite and very helpful! They had our wood stacked at our site. Definitely excellent hostess 🩷 Highly recommend this little site. ☺️

Del Rio Happy Camper on the creek!
Again we had another very last minute booking request and Sherry, the host, accommodated us. The RV was in great shape and had lots of room. It was a very rainy Saturday so staying inside and watching college football on the big TV on the comfortable couch was not a bad way to spend the day.

Rio Rustic Creekside
Great spot off the beaten path, right on a sweet creek. Great space for any size tent with water and power pole. Can fish right in the creek. There is traffic on the road about 30' from your tent, so those with very small children will want to note. Very rural, very cool drive out to it.

Boho tent private deck bath house
It was a very relaxing peaceful escape from my husband and I. So the weather was chilly there was a fire pit that was able to warm us outside provide us a relaxing atmosphere for preparing our dinner by the creek. the boho tent oh my gosh how relaxing atmosphere inside and out the decor was to die for loved it stepping back into that time was so amazing I loved it so did my husband we will definitely be coming back when the weather is warmer. Love the fresh eggs waiting for us when we arrived the firewood assembled out by the fire pit for us next to the picnic table, I was absolutely just so relaxing everything we could think of was there waiting. Fresh clean sheets blankets a heater. Very nice and the host for very accommodating for anything that we could ask for but not in the way give you your privacy at the same time. Thank you for a pleasant visit to your establishment we will be back.

The creek was beautiful. The site was smaller than expected but it was perfect size for a honda CRV to car camp with a tent. They have an 110 watt outlet that you can plug a house extension cord to that is right next to the 30 amp rv plug. It also has the cleanest porta potty I've ever been in in my life.

I had a really good stay at Rio Rustic in the Creekside Stayz campground. It was my first time camping, and I honestly enjoyed it! The campsite is spacious and sits right next to the creek, the sound of the water was so relaxing, especially at night. It was comfortable place to spend time outdoors. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a nice spot to relax and enjoy nature.

Campsite was conveniently located and was a nice spot by the creek to pitch my tent. Showers were a positive, I used those every night. The only negative was the noise from cars going back and forth since you are very close to the road, and the headlights shining in the tent.

Rio Relaxing RV/Camp site
Booked this campsite expecting a comfortable stay with promised amenities like showers and WiFi. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what was advertised. Upon arrival, we were never greeted by the host, leaving us to navigate the site on our own. The WiFi was completely non-functional throughout our stay, which was a major inconvenience. The most upsetting part was this morning when I attempted to use the shower for my 5-year-old daughter. Instead of politely informing us that we were using the wrong shower, the host screamed at us, making us feel disrespected and unwelcome. No effort was made to guide us to the correct facilities. Additionally, the campsite is located on a main road with constant traffic noise and lacks any gate or fence for privacy or safety, which was particularly concerning with a young child. I strongly recommend Hipcampers look elsewhere—there are far better options available. I regret not researching more thoroughly for my family’s sake.

Boho tent private deck bath house
This was such an ADORABLE little set up! Me and a friend are city girls and here stayed for 2 nights.. it wasn't horribly far from everything, the glamper was SUPER cute, clean and peaceful! The portapotty was one of the cleanest that I have ever been in! The running creek was super peaceful and we enjoyed the fact that we had the option to completely disconnected from the world as WiFi is an option for a small reasonable fee. We chose to opt out of getting Wifi so that we could enjoy stepping out of the real world. Cheryl was SUPER informative with helpful instructions and communication. The road does have some traffic speeding by but the cars are fewer and semi far in between! We would definitely recommend this location to others and would love to come back in the future!

I had booked a two night stay, but only stayed the first night due to family illness. Very nice camp site for my camper van. Well maintained property on the side of a small stream. Sherry lives on site and is very accommodating. I didn't get to explore the area like I would have liked, again due to an early departure.

Cool funky place
Boho tent private deck bath house
Such an absolutely great place to stay. The tent is made from heavy canvas and very strong from the weather. Cheryl has thought of everything that is needed for the stay. There's a mini refrigerator, microwave and electricity in the tent. It's such a cool funky place to stay. The extra bonus is the private shower. It sits right near a creek with a deck that has chairs and a table to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We were able to cook with the grill/firepit that's provided as well. Cheryl is a great host and very friendly. There is WiFi and wood available as well!! You will not be disappointed staying here. We absolutely loved the place.
