The site was exactly as described. They have everything there for you. It was very serene, beautiful, clean, and peaceful. We had an amazing anniversary trip. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and they were very helpful. We will be back!

This was our second time staying at Skipping Rock on James and Lynn's farm. They were very welcoming and helpful just as I remembered! The campsite was very easy to get to and had all of the amenities to make camping a breeze! Will definitely be back in the future.

Skipping Rock is a truly magical place. This is our second time there and we enjoyed it immensely. We took three teenage boys with us and they had a blast skipping rocks, cooking, making s'mores. Our hosts, James and Lynn, are top notch. They are so warm and welcoming and provided everything we needed. They were just a text away, but gave us privacy and space, which made it feel like we had the whole farm to ourselves. The boys weren't allowed to go swimming this time because of dangerous conditions. I was a little worried they would get bored not having that option but that was not the case at all! Thank you, James and Lynn! We can't wait to go back!

James and Lynn’s spot on Middle River was lovely as were they. The location was very peaceful and exactly as described. My kids spent hours hunting crawfish in the river, even with headlamps on in the dark:) Meeting Peaches the barn cat was a highlight too!
