Absolutely wonderful Stay! The host is an absolute joy. The property and horses are great ! We enjoy a wonderful convention with the host and she is so accommodating. We stayed here so we could enjoy a concert near by. There is so much to do within a short distance. Definitely will be back when we are in the area.

What a great camp site. We really enjoyed it. Cool overlook of the river. Wooded with a nice fire ring and grill. Perfect for car camping. The overlook on the flood plain in the evening and in the morning is filled with birds and wildlife.

Emma was very quick to respond to my many questions. The directions were very clear, and I was given many options of where to set up camp when I arrived. I felt extremely safe and enjoyed waking up to the horses on the next pasture.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

We were looking for a safe / quiet place to stay in our campervan for a few nights close to the Neuse River Trail. This spot was perfect! Trail access is directly on the property (no need to ride or walk on main roads to get there). Emma and co were super responsive to our questions, and it was so nice to wake up to see the horses each morning!

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I arrived by bicycle from the Greenway. There is a gate to access the farm without having to ride on a busy road. Emma met me with firewood! Camped under a shelter which kept the dew off my tent & bike. Emma was genuine and hospitable. I will return and tell other cyclists.

Weekend Trip to Camp Stoney Fjord

Awesome area in the central part of NC. This site had a good amount of space, was on the water, and was private. This host, Jody, was very responsive and kind.

Mimms’s land was exactly what we needed, very friendly and welcoming. The site was clean, plenty of firewood, porta potty was super clean. The fresh eggs were delicious! Dog friendly ~ Looking forward to coming back again.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

Great location - Easily accessible from the Neuse River Trail. friendly farm manager and some great horses to keep you company as well. Highly recommend!

1 night at Camp Stoney Fjord

Secluded and quiet. Well marked…I camped at the high banks. It’s called this for a reason. Lovely view of the river, just keep dogs and kids away from the edge. Great for tent camping. I was towing a 12 foot camper and had trouble turning around, but did ok. Loved the symphony of owls at night and the splash of large fish jumping in the peaceful river. A relatively short drive from I-95
