As of 11/1/21: Bring your own wheelbarrow. There are no wheelbarrows. You'll need to deposit the manure in the dumpster. There are 19 corrals, three of them are huge and could easily accommodate 2 horses. There are two working flush toilets, five picnic tables, and two fire rings. Parking on the asphalt is limited but there is plenty of parking in the overflow dirt area next to the host. The rides are nice but most have quite a hefty elevation climb/descent. Stephanie, the host, is very friendly and comes at least once a day to service the bathrooms. The bathrooms are very neat/clean/tidy. The water spigots do not have threads to attach a hose. There are tons of beautiful oaks in the campground but watch your ankles, there are tons of squirrel holes! Make sure to grab the brochure before heading up the Aliso Canyon Trail, it will tell you about the marked areas/plants on the trail.

Camp host Stephanie did an outstanding job in all respects. Bathroom was immaculate and she was very responsive to some minor issues we had. She clearly cares about the visitors and the area.

Beautiful spot with super friendly host. We camped there for the weekend with our cub scout pack of 100 people. Lots of fun, lots of snakes but we survived and came out better for it :)

Great camp hosts! Wonderful 3 mile trail with lots of wildflowers (end April). Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes, we're in their habitat.

Loved Caballo for a group camping site with a bunch of preschoolers. Hiking trail right there, fire pits and plenty of space, fantastic staff that sells firewood and a muddy creek. What could be better? Well the horse corrals were great for them to play on too (and no horsepoop around)
