We loved our weekend at the Lizard Sniffer Ranch!! We stayed at the Wilbur site. This horse farm is a little slice of heaven. Although we camped, they also have cabins available. It was the perfect place for star gazing and relaxing. The owners were very nice and always a text away. We will definitely be back!!

Weekend Trip to The Fenn Farm

Beautiful property and clean camp site with power and water.. We came into town for a GA game (go dawgs!) and it was the perfect peaceful getaway for the weekend. It took us about 25 minutes to get to the game (with Athens traffic). Teens loved feeding the goats and seeing all the other animals. Our hosts were gracious and friendly as well. So much better than staying in a crowded, overpriced hotel. We’ll be back!

We loved every moment at The Lizard Sniffer Ranch! It far exceeded our expectations! There were surprises around every corner of his beautiful property. We enjoyed riding our bikes on the many paths and trails. The lake was so relaxing and Randy had every Amenity you could ever imagine! Kayaks, floats, fishing gear. The bathroom at the lake was wonderful with an outside shower that I could stay in for hours! The horses, donkey, geese, dogs and lizards were something else. There are so many beautiful little cabins for rent. Randy and his family certainly put much time and love in their vision! Randy was the most gracious host ever! We can hardly wait to return!

Whispering woods is a Totoro Themed dome that is situated on a private portion of the 100 acre property with a beautify view of the woods from the 3 floor to ceiling glass panels.

We booked this on the busy 4 of July. Par two was the perfect get away. My wife felt very comfortable with the farm and the place where she could do her morning walks. The directions using Google maps were perfect and the signage inside the property were perfect. It was a full hookup site. We spent 2 glorious days there and would recommend it. It’s just about 10 minutes from interstate 20.

Camping at James’s farm was great! James met me at the mailbox to show me around. There were options for amenities like power and water hookups or primitive camping down by the creek - I chose the latter. It was quiet and secluded, which was perfect for me.

We had a wonderful stay celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, our daughter’s college graduation, and Mother’s Day all in one trip! The site was clean, well-maintained, and had great proximity to the sewer hookup, which made things easy. Our host was excellent—communicative and helpful from start to finish. The kids loved spending time with the animals and exploring the farm, and when the rain cleared, the night sky was absolutely breathtaking. A perfect mix of peaceful, family-friendly, and memorable. We’d gladly return!

Our time was too short. We only stayed 1 night but it is really a great place. So great to be able to let our dogs (4) have a safe place to run around and work off energy. The paddock is a great asset to an RV site. The owner is very friendly and we could probably have talked for much longer. Clean, quiet and very relaxing. Cannot wait to go back. Oh and you can bring your horses as they have cottages with paddocks also!

We had an amazing time at the Lizardsniffer camp! A friend of mine and I stayed for some mommy and me time and our expectations were over exceeded. We got to experience one of the cabins which was very comfortable and luxurious as well as tent camping. We were happy with the tent site as it had everything we needed very close together. Although it was early in camping season our kids still enjoyed swimming in the lake and going out in the kayaks. The land is large and beautiful with plenty of space. We also enjoyed seeing the horses and donkey. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the trip and felt spoiled by Randy and his staff, how can you not with every toilet having a bidet. Thank you for a great time!
