The camp site was fine but we had a couple problems. The first was strangers driving into the property we rented out so we kicked them out, and the other was that we had no running water so we couldn’t shower and the toilets wouldn’t flush.

The amenities at this horse camp are fantastic, hot showers and potable water! We were the only ones there the entire time we stayed, so it was rather quiet. Unfortunately none of the garbage or manure bins had been emptied in...weeks or months, and they were all full of manure and garbage. The sites are nice, but vegetation has grown in and will scrap the sides of your truck and camper even if you are very careful. Lastly, there really aren't that many riding options from camp. Cactus springs is very technical and I had to turn around. Sawmill is just an out and back on an old road and is super blown out and rocky. The ribbonwood trail was nice, but really more made for mountain biking it seems. Overall it was a decent experience but the camp needs maintenance, tree trimming, garbage removal etc and the trail selection for horses isn't extensive.

The bushes need to be cut back. They bent 2 people's fenders on the horses trailers trying to get into a space and driving the circle to get out. The big green trash cans were full. The ranger super nice.
