Reviewers appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities, including the composting toilets, and the abundance of wildlife in the area.

This has to be one of the nicest campsites in the area. It was very clean and not over crowded. It’s my second visit this year and hoping for a few more visits depending on my work schedule.

I was hesitant to book a camping trip over a holiday weekend but thought that with this campground being designed for horses and having pit toilets for facilities the chances of large families with unruly children would be small. I was wrong. It was far from a peaceful weekend and when everyone was asleep the amount of lights left on all night was ridiculous. While this would be a lovely place to stay, other campers made us scrap our last day and go home for the peace and quiet we were looking for in nature. Very relieved no one with horses had actually booked. I'm sure they would have been stressed from the constant screaming.
