It’s a decent space. But don’t be surprised if you find horse poop on your site. Also, NO HOT WATER. The bathrooms were in rough shape- with bugs crawling around. I had to pass on a shower. This campground needs some help and updated maintenance.

These trails were amazing and marked really well. The restroom/showers were a bit dated, but clean. It was quiet at night. We will definatly be camping there again!

Facilities are decent per usual. Not nearly as nice as they used to be. Camp host is not a horse person, and is not the friendliest. But a rule enforcer for the most part. So that’s a plus.

Rockhaven Equestrian Camp is one of my favorite horse camps. Great sites are level and mostly shady. Plenty of pens. Good private shower houses. They could help us out with a few more water spigots throughout the camp.
The trails are amazing!!!
This place is easy to get to from all paved roads. I plan on staying at least twice a year.

The camping is great . The trails are well maintained and marked. The map is very accurate and easy to read. The only negative was trying to get reservations on line. It took several trys to make group reservations.
