I love this campground they have hot showers, restrooms, a dumpster, playground, shelter, and potable water. My only complaint would be that the spaces not reserved for equestrian use are not shady. Since the spaces reserved for horse folks are sparsely used, it might make sense to open up more spots for other campers.

Got a campsite we could use a couple hoses to fill holding tanks. Would not have stayed in one we could not get water. Wish the lower trail by the water was open to have more riding options. Debris from flood still an issue so trail was closed. Understand that does take a lot of work. Otherwise the campground was clean, pens were good and close to campsite. Not “packed” in together like private campgrounds seem to do. Great weekend!
