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

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.

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
