Creek Side Camp

This was a cute little spot for an overnight camping trip! Micheal was accommodating when we needed help (didn’t have the poles with our tent) and we were able to rent a tent for the night. The fire pit was nice, and the tent space itself was great. We would stay here again!

Creek Side Camp

My husband and I came up with last minute plans to camp for Memorial Day weekend and we were very happy to have found this campsite! It is true as other reviews have said, you can see the owner's house in the distance but that doesn't take away from the camping experience. This was perfect for us and our pup, who enjoyed being able to run around and play fetch when we didnt head out to a nearby trail. The frogs in the creek literally sang us to sleep and we never felt like our privacy was encroached on at all. Over all, we enjoyed our time. :)

Creek Side Camp

We had a wonderful time! Campsite is spacious, and the access to water and a bathroom is always a great perk. Bathroom even has a light sensor! Lots of thought out details. Fire pit was great. Verifying other reviews that yes, you can see the owners home from the fire pit, but it still feels incredibly private, especially in comparison to regular campsites! Michael was extremely communicative and accommodating. Would book again!

Creek Side Camp

Nice location at the end of a road, but the creek is inaccessible from what I could tell, and there's no view of any kind. Also, the owner's home is in plain view about 400 ft away. No fire pit at the site itself, just a communal one in the center. Nice that it had a toilet.

Good location, close by park entrance. Broken glass on campground. Not private at all, can see owners backyard directly from campsite. Nice fire pit and out house. Lots of mosquitoes, bring bug spray!!

The site was very big and even though it was in the hosts backyard, it felt very private. Everything was well maintained and the outhouse was very clean! Clean water was also available right at the site which was a big plus!

Great place to stay! Alder lake is a few minutes up the road and lots of hiking trails nearby. Nice big fire pit, and the frogs will sing you to sleep!
