Great campsites. But needs more high lines for horses. Especially at sites 1 thru 5.

Willis Knob horse camp is a great isolated campground with power hookups and water hook-ups and plenty of room for horses at the intersection of some great riding trails with access to some great views and good Trout Fishing Streams.

Bathrooms very clean. Campsite clean. There were a couple water spigots that were dripping, but they worked. Wish there was cell service at the campsite, but if you ride 30 minutes on a trail to the left of the campsite there is service and a sign.

All the faucetts were pouring water when we arrived. Had to call for maintenance to get Ranger to come fix them. Had to move camp. Lots of hard work. Now, campers don't think you should have these group camps. its not fair for 1 party to have to book 3 camp sites when they only need one. Also, you don't allow Golden Age passes on Group sites and that is not fair to senior citizens. Willis Knob is our favorite horse camp and is lovely, however; it's not being kept up and maintained. The outside toilet wouldn't even flush. Why can't you put a regular bathroom there that has a normal flushing toilet instead of that nasty outside toilet that don't work half the time and it stinks.

Awesome spot tucked away from civilization. Campsites are level and shady with full hookups and a short walk to the bathroom. Would definitely return!

Nice Equestrian campground. I have been here 5 times and have met mostly friendly people. Wish the bathrooms had showers and running water though.
