OUR STORY

Most everyone that comes here says the same thing over and over “This is what we want to do”. “How did you do it?” or “How much do you want for it?” Basically we got lucky finding this little piece of Heaven here in the North Georgia Mountains. (It’s not for sale). We love it here, and have no plans of leaving.

We Robert & Melissa started camping in 1999; after buying our 1st used motorhome, later we ordered a new one from the factory. We were hooked right away on the camping lifestyle.   We are big NASCAR Fans and loved Camping in the infield of Dayton and Talladega.

Robert loves Fly Fishing and is always in search of the ultimate river. We found Helen Georgia and the Chattahoochee River on a Birthday camping trip we took my dad (Melissa’s dad, Harry) on in June of 2003. We camped at Vogel State Park and Unicoi State park. Little did we know that one year later we would find our future home and life only 3.8 miles farther down the road from Unicoi SP on Hwy 356. Robert now Volenteers for Trout Unlimited Foothills chapter.

I (Melissa) am getting back into Golf after a 10 year hiatus.  We belong to the wonderful local golf club in Helen called Innsbruck (it is open to the public 706-878-2100 innsbruckgolfclub.com).

We were sick of traffic, commuting, and working for someone else in the not so fun corporate world. So we started looking for a Campground, the cabins were a bonus. After finding Creekwood Resort in May of 2004 and doing a lot of research and negotiating, here we are. We closed on the Campground and Cabins July 15th 2004.

Now everyone brings camping to us, and the best part about this venture is that everyone that comes here is on vacation and very happy. One of those happy campers is Russ & Ellen Peters they bought our 38 foot Winnebago Itasca Suncruser and have become very good friends and hold the record for number of stays at Creekwood Resort. So many times I have lost track. Russ and Ellen also take care of Creekwood for us when we have to go out of town.

So here we are and we look forward to meeting all our future customers and look forward to all our repeat customers’ next visit.

2008 update, we are going into our 4th year and still love what we are doing.

We want to thank everyone for your continued support, we now have so many repeat customers/friends that support us and we are very greatful.  Thanks for Everything.

2009 update, Now going into our 5th year,  we hope this will be our busiest year ever, with the economy in trouble we hope everyone will still need their getaways. 

We have added a parkmodel cabin in site 13, that my(Melissa's) 85 year old Mother stays in; Miya my(Melissa's) only sister as of Aug25th is CANCER FREE, We thank everyone for their prayers and contenued support.

2010 update, It was brought to my attention today that I did not do a 2010 update so here it is,

A lot has happened including the Death of Mr. Bernard our 15 yr old male yellow Lab.  He is missed everyday.  Clancy is doing fine but getting up there in age also.  We have two new additions to the family they are Chocolate Lab Sisters, named Ella and Louise, after mine and my sisters middle names.  My sister is still cancer free as of June 2010 and we have had to move my mother back to Florida to a full time nursing home. So the little cabin  in the campground is now a rental, it is called

 "4 the Birds", because it is our 4th cabin and has a Bird theme.

As always thanks to all our customers and friends we are going into our 6th year here, so please keep on Camping.

The Dogs Story/New members of the family

Mr. Bernard and Miss Clancy are our yellow Labradors and the true owners of the resort. They don’t ask for much except all the attention they can get from anyone willing to pet them.
Ella and Louise our Chocolate lab sisters are young and wild, they love attention but watch out for their wigglily wagglily tails, they can be painful.
