A great experience beginning to end, but there are drawbacks.
PROS: From the moment you arrive, the staff makes your feel welcome. They great you as you pull up, offer you drinks, show you around, and have your bags ready in your room when you get up there. Then, throughout your stay, everyone seems to know your name and wants to be helpful.
The rooms and facilities are extremely nice and clean. While the club at Camp Creek is very nice, we would recommend making the 10-min drive the the Beach Club. Even during Labor Day Weekend, we were able to get ocean front chairs both days we went. The pools areas at both locations can get extremely crowded, but this seemed to be because it was a holiday weekend.
ANR was the best food we had all week. Everything else seemed overpriced, but ANR was worth it.
CONS: Our room faced directly East (any room on the front of the building will) and the curtains do not keep the light out. Each morning, the room was extremely bright by 6:30am so don't expect to sleep in while there. Additionally, our room was on the North end of the building and was extremely loud. Not only did we have small kids above us (running around and bouncing balls), but that end of the building must be near the A/C or other equipment. All night, it sounded like someone was revving a car engine on and off.
Our biggest gripe is all of the extra expenses. It's a premium resort and you should expect to pay a premium, but the place definitely get's their money out of you. On top of the premium room prices, you pay a $50/day resort fee, tip all the employees that are so helpful, pay for overpriced food, and then pay a 22% service fee on all food and drink. To give an example, a drink by the pool will be $14-$16 but once the service fee is added, you're actually spending $17-$20 for a simple cocktail.

Excellent hotel choice if you are visiting Rosemary Beach area. We have been many times, the food excellent, Ardel is the best restaurant manager, food is delicious. For kids lazy river is incredible. But also the Watersound beach club (included) is a super good alternative to enjoy beach and another big pool, compared with renting a nice house in the area without direct access to the beach. Public beaches are good, but never compared with a beach where you don't need to move a finger to have chairs, umbrellas, towels, food and drink and a golf cart that avoid you to walk from public parking to the beach. Rooms are clean and confortables.You will find a Maxi-bar in each floor, full of beverages and snacks. Golf course is very nice too. So the hotel is worth it to stay but also if you are staying in a house in the area without access to the beach, book a room to enjoy all the hotel facilities.

Camp Creek is an amazing property. From the accommodations to the service, food, activities and amenities, you cannot find a better resort. They have thought of everything down to the "Treat Suite" where you can grab a drink or snack any time of the day. Hop on a bike that's waiting by the bell stand, play tennis or pickleball, pop over to the beach club, or if it's windy stay at the over-the-top Camp Creek Pool complex to be shielded from the wind. We loved every single thing and have already booked two more stays to bring our kids back with us this year.

Twenty-one years after we first played golf at Camp Creek, we learned they had opened an inn offering “member for a stay” privileges. We jumped right on that and loved every minute of it! The Inn is beautiful and our room was very comfortable. My husband played two amazing rounds of golf while I enjoyed the gorgeous pools, and we were both blown away by the stunning beach club. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the members were welcoming. Best of all was the kind and friendly service we received from every member of staff. They even sent up Prosecco and charcuterie on our anniversary, and found my sun hat when I had misplaced it. This was a luxurious and memorable vacation we can’t wait to repeat.
Tips: If you’re visiting in the off season, which you absolutely should, wear layers! It takes awhile for the days to heat up, and when the sun sinks low, the temperature drops quickly. You don’t want to miss sunset on the beach - incredibly beautiful.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Greeted by name at the valet circle and handed a glass of champagne. The property is new and very well maintained. There are a lot of perks that are free which normally incur a charge...valet, snacks/drinks in the room and on each floor, fitness center, tennis/pickleball, etc. The staff at all of the restaurants were very friendly as well. Five minute bike ride to 30A and very close to Alys Beach. Only small issue is not many different room options...limited "suites" and I believe all suites are one King bed; no double Queens or 2-room suites for families. Overall excellent stay and look forward to going back.

If you are a golfer, this is your place. Well maintained courses and excellent service. If you are not a golfer but enjoy pool time, food and fitness, this is your place too. Very nice to be out of the hustle of Rosemary/Watercolor. Camp Creek is a resort unto itself..lovely and quiet. We stayed in a golf suite…very nice room, comfy bed, small bathroom vanity and small closet (but we stayed 6 nights) probably just fine for 2/3 nights. Loved the balcony/porch. Note..if your room overlooks golf course/driving range be aware maintenance starts at 6:00a daily. Excellent service at the pools and 1936 bar.

Great hotel. BUT concierge is non existent in email and THEY will give away your room if you book something unique. My room that I paid for up front wasnt available of course. They gave me a refund but it basically ruined the stay since we were only there two n nights.

The property and setting (away from the hustle and bustle) were outstanding. While the property isn’t on the beach it only took about 10 minutes to drive or be shuttled to their private beach.
The hotel staff were all so courteous and helpful.
The food was outstanding.
The rooms, private beach, wellness center, pools, pickle ball courts were all top notch.
There was a treat room stocked with ice cream, snacks, and drinks which were available all day and included at no extra charge.
We’ve not rested, relaxed, and slept like we did at Camp Creek for a long time.
Thank you Camp Creek Inn and the staff for an amazing stay. We highly highly recommend!!

My wife and I stayed at the facility based on a facebook recommendation, and because it is an I Preferred property. We have stayed at numberous I Preferred properties and Camp Creek Inn is every bit as good as any 5 star property they have.
When you stay here, you have access to all the amenties of the Watersound club, This inlcudes 2 top end private golf courses, a beach club with access to a huge white sand beach and free chairs and unbrellas, 2 private pools and restaurant. This is on top of the 2 pristine pools, lazy riverwaterslide,pickleball courts on site with free bike usage as well. The on site restaurants were outstanding, best chicken sandwich I have every had.
The property in general was immaculate!
However, the service took things to the next level. The communication leading up to our stay and the entire time on property was simply the best. Camp Creek Inn is on par if not better than any Ritz, Waldorf, I Preferred or Montage property we have stayed at.
You get all this at a reasonable price. It was a great value and a great time.
I can not recommend this property enough.

Beautiful hotel and rooms. Very very clean and food was fantastic. Love the condition of the golf course and the helpful staff. Just a wonderful place, and I will be back. Great service and LOVE the treats rooms! Having a diet coke in the morning without being nickled and dimed is the best!
