Rangers need to patrol more often as there are none equestrian campers staying in equestrian spots that should not be allowed. We work hard on our trails and equestrian people want to come, but they can’t because it’s full.

Clean bathrooms, hot showers with excellent pressure. This campground seems lightly used. Its emphasis is as a facility for equestrian campers but there are a few spaces for non-horsey campers as well. Perhaps it would be more utilized if more of the spaces were horse-optional. There are trails for hiking or riding as well as a picnic shelter and small playground.

The campground and trails are wonderful, I’ve been going here for years. However the constant non-equestrians that stay in the park are hazardous and unsafe. We’ve had non-equestrian campers drive fast, have late night parties with drugs, and use up horse sites with pens. The corp has really laxed in enforcement of this being a “horse only” campground. It’s very unfortunate as the trails around this campground were established by the community and maintained for over 50 years. All that hard work will most likely be for nothing in the future if something isn’t done. Horse people won’t come camp if they don’t feel safe.

Trails need some work but the horseback riding was very good. Campsites are nice and camp host very accommodating.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
