This Property was purchased by Grandfather in the 70s  and then was passed to my Mother. In 2013 I decided to live life differently and start from the ground up building with natural materials and found materials. At that time I was fortunate enough to have the land passed to me and I started building a home for myself and to be close to my mothers home nearby. After achieving the basics I decided that the best use of this beautiful land was to create a place for people to relax and enjoy, a park like environment dedicated to preserving natural beauty and amplifying it through a permaculture lifestyle. 8 years later I am blown away at how far the dream has become a reality and love sharing my space with people from all over the country.

We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River). Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"... Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE. If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you. *Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

We had a great weekend. There was alot of rain on our weekend there but when the sun peaked out, we boated and swam on the lake, fished off the dock and had a great time. The boys camped and the girls stayed in the farmhouse. Jesse was an excellent host. The area was beautiful!

Weekend Trip to 3 Creeks Camp and Nature Preserve

Damon was a nice host that offered assistance when needed. I stayed in the Creek Campsite and it was a joy! The property is beautiful and he has a web that was nice to sit on and look at the stars. Easy to navigate in and out of the site (even with a little sedan). Only stayed for one night, but it just so happened to be a night full of music and a light show.

4 nights at Prices Bridge Inn & Campgrounds

The A-frame was perfect! Enough space to be able to relax in. Every morning, afternoon and evening, my dog and I would sit on the dock gazing out at the lake with Herons, Osprey, Geese, Ducks and Cormorants all flying past. With the boat ramp right there, we would easily cast off on our SUP for the lake. Jesse, his wife and kids were wonderful and so nice. Their place and land offered so much to do. My dog got to feel like a country dog, interacting with the chickens, running through the woods and snoozing by the fire pit. This trip was exactly what I needed and desired. I loved every minute at Jesse's place.

This was such a delightful place to stay, and we're already making plans to come back. The Creekhouse is the perfect blend of roughing it with access to basic amenities. My kids enjoyed playing in the creek and exploring the property, and I appreciated the quiet freedom to let them roam. Damon is a wonderful host, friendly and very responsive. When the temperature dropped suddenly, he made sure we had heaters and warm blankets for sleeping, and we stayed cozy. My favorite part was falling asleep to the sound of the creek directly below us.

Burrells Ford Camping

One of our favorite campgrounds in South Carolina! Burrells Ford Campground is along the Chattooga River, which is a Wild and Scenic River. The river is popular with fly fishermen and white-water boaters. The Chattooga River Trail is a 15.5 mile hiking trail along the river with multiple waterfalls. Kings Creek Falls is just minutes from the campground. The campground has an abundance of campsites that are maintained by the Forest Service. The majority of sites offer privacy and are great for groups. The campground is a short hike from the parking area, which deters extravagant car campers, but is still convenient. There are fire rings, picnic tables, bear-bag hangers, and an outhouse. Best of all - it is free!

Woodall Shoals

Woodall Shoals is a magical part of the Chattooga River, a federally protected, Wild and Scenic river! As a well-known boater put-in and with access to little river beaches, you are likely to run into others hanging out in the sun or trying to put water under their paddles. From the parking lot, there are several short trails leading to a handful of campsites. Most have make-shift fire rings left behind by past campers. Leave no trace principles apply here! Be sure to check out the magnificent rapid that is Woodall Shoals! The rapid and surrounding rocks shaped by the river's current are jaw-dropping! Some spots are ok for swimming, but use precaution. For any river lovers, Woodall is a dream. Definitely a favorite spot of mine!

Burrells Ford Camping

Great remote, primitive campsite right beside a river. This campsite is perfect for someone looking for a cheap, quiet camping expereince with not too many ammenities. A 5 minute walk down a gravel road leads you to several campsites so it is not completly drive in but you do not need to backpack your gear in. All the tentsites are first-come first -serve and there are only a few so get there early.
