Our beautiful setting overlooks the West Fork of the Stones River. With walk-in access to the water, the camp is perfect for exploring a thriving river system (2, 6, and 8 mile floats are easy since take-out points are just up the road a piece or just paddle up and down the river, depending on the rains). The river is wadable most of the year. Smallmouth and seasonal trout make for easy fishing. The river is home to an abundance of birds, turtles, and fur-bearing friends.
On some days we might have old time music band playing on our side of the river. You’re welcome to join and listen to the music.

Weekend Trip to The Artist's Farm, Center Hill Lake
Breanna's art studio is a must stay if you are a fan of all things crafty, and was the perfect retreat! We loved the quiet, wooded setting and it was exactly what we needed to recharge. The town of Cookeville is a mere 20 minutes away which has a wonderful assortment of restaurants, plus there are a number of parks and hiking trails nearby for the nature enthusiast. If you're looking for peace, creativity, and convenient access to urban life, book this place now. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful campsite and location on the river. We had a blast fishing, kayaking and tubing. There was a little island across the way that the kids had fun exploring around. Tent was comfortable and the outhouse was convenient. Seth and his wife were very hospitable. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Stones River Camp & Kayak
Fantastic place to relax! The tent is well equipped with a comfortable bed and bedding. Two rechargeable fans/lights, two lanterns, cooking equipment. We loved the little firewood stove in the tent where we made coffee in the morning. Plenty of firewood for the firepit. Wonderful memories were made here- beautiful, private feeling location by the water. Seth and his family were very accommodating- with an extra blanket etc. My husband and I would love to come back!
