The only downside to our stay was that we could not stay longer.

Location and horse camp is amazing. My only criticism is having to ask the forest service to empty the trash although they checked the camp site almost daily.

Group camp - Clean bathrooms, nice to have water and garbage in camp. Horse pens were very good. Plenty of space fir trailers. Very nice to be able to ride several trails directly from camp. We enjoyed swimming in the near by lakes. Great weather. We had a great time
