River Front Tent Camping
Stay and Play at the Cypress is a fun, nice campground located on the Holmes River just a short distance from beautiful Cypress Springs. Secluded and tucked away yet very convenient to necessities in Vernon. We visited in off season so it was very quiet. Owners Rick & Elizabeth very accommodating and hospitable. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

1st time, not the last
1st time camper and it was a cool experience. Late night arrival but with the directions and signs was able to make my way. It could be off putting to some, I actually appreciated the minimal to no contact during my stay. When I needed something there was quick response and her husband came less than 10min later. I was able to explore, attempt to fish n come and go as I pleased. I'm sure there are camera's but I didn't feel watched. It rained my entire last day and night but didn't ruin the trip. There were only 2 other tent campers the 1st night and no one but me the 2nd night. I'm a black man from out of town and although protected by God, I understand whether right or wrong, we are not always welcomed or safe in places. I say that because any B/POC that see this review and concern because of location or anything it's a safe space to be yourself, not feel judged n can do it solo. Gave me the impression that it's business and respect regardless of potential personal opinions.

A Lovely Weekend Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay here. My boys loved being right on the water and there was a very convenient launch area for our paddleboard and kayak (they also have kayaks/canoes for rent). The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, but also respectful of our privacy and solitude. The young man driving the gator and moving mulch on the trails was such a hard worker - I appreciated my own teens getting to witness that! The sites are a bit close together for our personal preference but my husband ended up enjoying being able to help/instruct the young gentleman on his very first camping trip after he set up next to us!
We loved the nature, the trees, and the beautiful night skies. It was a perfect weekend away!

A very cool, private spot! Definitely primitive, but we didn't mind. The hosts answered every question I had and were super helpful before and during our stay.

A Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The hosts were wonderful. They were very responsive, helpful and accommodating, while giving us privacy. I love that they have the extra stuff you might want available for sale ahead of time and on site as well. I will say we wished we had brought a screened room tent as the mosquitos were bad a couple weeks after the hurricane, but we understand this is not typical. Renting the canoes to see Cypress Springs was well worth it! We wish we had more time to enjoy the property itself and we will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your space with us!
Of note to those searching, this is a beautiful, rural southern area. Being aware of the common signage you may see is important if you care about anything other than a great natural environment and a good experience/good interactions with people.
