What Guests Are Saying

Skillman is a well-maintained horse camping site with spacious, shaded spots and clearly marked trails, making it a great choice for equestrian enthusiasts. While some amenities, like potable water and bathrooms, could use improvement, the clean environment and beautiful surroundings enhance the overall experience. Despite proximity to Highway 20, which brings some road noise, many visitors appreciate the quiet atmosphere and respectful community.

Camp is beautifully maintained, quiet and cool. If coming with horses bring lots of hose to get the water to the corrals. The riding trails are shady and very cared for by the Gold Coast Trail Council. Don’t be afraid to ride horses on the trails shared with motorcyclists. They are very considerate of the horses and on the busy 4th of July weekend, we heard them, but never actually saw any on the single track trails
