Site 2 - joyville near boone on elk creek
Creek fun with the dogs
Garry and Dianne are wonderful Hipcamp hosts and together they built Joyville, a beautiful camping experience situated on a picturesque creek and accessible via private road. I had 2 dogs in tow and they had a great time running around the property with Booger and Trooper and swimming in the creek. Bathroom was very close and immaculate. We will be back!

We loved the camping area! It was beautiful - quiet with just three camp sites. And Dianne was welcoming. My children loved tubing down the stream, and we enjoyed the sound of the creek right next to our tent. It was helpful having the covered platform, too, since we got some rain. But the rain ended up being a problem, because there was a flash flood warning in the evening/night (thank you for the heads up, Dianne!). And our tent and cars were in danger of being in the path of the flood waters. So we ended up leaving that evening. We plan on coming back - but will choose one of the higher campsites next time.

I loved tent camping on Dianne and Garry’s land!!! We came in a bit late but the campsite was easy to find and when we woke up the next morning Dianne came around to help us with starting a fire with kerosene even though everything was damp. Dianne and Garry are the definition of southern hospitality and made our stay just that much more smooth, with great wifi and providing a place for us to charge our devices. We loved fishing in the creek as well! Thank you all for your hospitality!

Fisherman / Dog Dad’s dream spot
I can’t say enough good things about Garry & Dianne and the experience they have put together for guests in their little slice of the Appalachians. I showed up after a day of mountain biking in Boone and realized I forgot the ladder to my roof top tent and Dianne was kind enough to offer me their creek front cabin for me and my pup to spend the night in. These people are the epitome of southern hospitality. If you want a convenient place to lay low near Boone and you enjoy fishing this place is meant for you. The creek that flows literally right in front of the campsite has some great holes filled with trout and smallmouth that you could cast into from your camp stool at the fire pit. Also if you have a pup that likes to run around off leash you can let them off with no worries. The property is closed in by the creek on ones side and a steep incline on the other with nice soft grass in between for dogs to run all their energy out. If I could give six stars I would. Thank you Dianne and Garry for the wonderful experience.
