We rented buddy sites 4 and 5 which were approved for our sized rigs. We got there- the road is terrible- we were coming off the side of the road and scrubbing trees the whole way there. Then once there- there was not a single spot that would have accommodated our living quarters trailer. And with how narrow the camp roads were combined with all the mature trees there was no way we were going to fit into our site. We tried for an hour. And even if we had fit, there was no way a second trailer would fit because a- it was only 20 ft wide (two 8 ft wide trailers leaves only 4 ft between us) and b- the washout and grade would have scrubbed all the pipes off the bottom of the trailer.
The turn around also was too narrow for our trailer as well so we had to figure out a 3 point turn on a hill to get out of there.
We ultimately decided to bail on our trip and I couldnt get anyone on the phone to refund our money.
The bathroom was clean and the electric and water would have been nice- but seems pointless when you could really only camp there with a pop up or a two horse bumper. pull

Great place to stay great trails some trees down in the trails, but was capable for an experienced writer. Site number eight did not have any electricity.

Very remote place, road is not good, horses must stay in high-line although the website shows a horse in a stall.

At the time we went 2/21, the horse trails had not been cleaned up from the ice storm. We hit many down trees and had to back track. This was our first time visiting. The road leading to campground was pretty narrow with little room to pass another trailer. Campground was very secluded and we were the only ones there for the weekend. Would go back! Zero cell phone service.

The restrooms were newly renovated and very clean, however the grass looked like it hadn't been mowed in months. The wood that surrounds each campsite is rotted and falling apart. It definitely needed some TLC.

All the trains I used (mostly along river) were clear.
Always a peaceful place.
Keep up the good work with limited resources.

Trails were not in great shape, but appreciate this was due to weather. Some of the campsites had issues with functioning electric and water. Several sites could use grading and gravel, and two sites would benefit from a ditch being filled in (4&5).

Very nice and rustic. It is very quiet very pleasant location. Receiving the combination for the lock the real plus. Being able to come & go as you please is a real plus. If there was a shower It would be nearly perfect. There is absolutely no cell service on the T-Mobile Network or Wi-Fi that can be a plus or minus.
