Great place with excellent river access. Very friendly host. Had a great time relaxing on the river shore. Highly recommend the river shack!!
Patrick and Angelica were wonderful hosts. Excellent communication and very welcoming and helpful once we arrived. We stayed at the primitive camping site and loved it. Very private and directly on the river. We brought our canoes and took a trip up Jellico Creek - it was beautiful! We went on several hikes - lots of great options within 25 minutes. The campsite was excellent for star gazing.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jeanna. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us—and we agree, Jellico Creek is truly a gem! We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to you returning again in the future! I'm glad you had a good camping experience.
Patrick's point exceeded our expectations. We met Patrick when we arrived, he took us on a short tour of the property, showed us good fishing locations and suggested what kind of tackle to use. He was very knowledgeable on the area and about the river.
The campsite was just as described, very primate and right next to the water. We utilized Patrick to shuttle us and our vehicles to the take out point. We will be back!





I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the review you provided. Your always welcome down here on the river. I'm Patrick for Patrick's Point River Camp, and we'll leave the campfire burning.
