the campground is wonderful and i enjoy staying there with my mules. it would be best if there was a camp host on site all the time. i saw so many cars coming into the campground depositing large bags of trash into the dumpster. the dumpster was stuffed full! They also use the bathhouse and leave it unpleasant.
In addition, there were multiple homeless people using the facility including coming into the campsites and using the electricity to charge their phones and portable electric batteries.

Had a wonderful time. Campers seemed to be a quiet bunch this time which adds to the enjoyment. Unfortunately, it is not always that way.

This is one of favorite places to horse camp. However this camp is in a slow decline. The website states that you have to have a horse to stay in this campground. But there's always regular rvs in the campground with no horses. Camp host Joe is hardly there at all ! This cam brown has had much better hosts in the past ! Please bring it back to its former glory !!!
