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.

I really enjoyed camping with my horses at Skillman. The paddocks make it easy, the trails are wonderful. I plan to go back as many times as I can this summer.
