Don’t miss out on the opportunity to stay at Wendy Oak’s! It’s so peaceful and beautiful to be parked by the water in your own little oasis. The owner Melanie is a gem and is so helpful. She thinks about every detail of your stay and wants to make sure you are in the best site possible to accommodate all of your needs(if there is availability of course) We hope to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Natchez Trace Resting Place
This is a perfect spot for anyone - especially bikers - traveling on the Natchez Trace to camp as it's less that 1 mile off the trace. Nice level concrete pad with electric and water with a treelined forest on one side and an open field on the other. Great wide-open view of the stars (no light pollution!) from the site. Anna & Will were gracious hosts, communicating everything we needed before our arrival, and they made a point to check in on us to make sure all was well after we'd settled in - much appreciated! Gotta love the address (111 Dummy Line Road) and it was a great experience overall so I highly recommend.

It was a nice place. Easy to pull in. No one travels down the road. It's very peaceful. Easy to drive in and get settled. Grocery store not too far away. Very nice watching the sunset over the pasture in front and there was a cute black cat that traveled along the side of the road... just making sure everyone was ok. The sound of the birds chirping this morning in the trees while we were drinking coffee was spectacular.

We loved our night at the Rock Hill campsite! The parked close to the picnic table, which is conveniently located in the shade of a mature tree, overlooking the pond. As others have mentioned, the available flush toilet was a nice perk! We arrived about an hour before dusk, so didn’t have much of a chance to enjoy the site until morning- but the next day we took our time getting going and saw some fabulous bird activity on the water- herons, geese, etc. Very peaceful spot! Highly recommend.

Melanie I believe the owner was amazing to work with. We were coming in late and at dusk she was setting up a lattern at our electric hookup so we could easily see our site. As it happens, we arrived at dusk, and she led us straight to our site. She's so easy to work with and so very helpful. She kept us informed of incoming weather and offered us options for emergency purposes. Wendy's Oaks is the most beautiful site we stayed at to and from Dallas to Orlando Florida. I'll go back in a heartbeat and stay longer
