Trails were great- cleared and well marked. Map was helpful and accurate. Biggest issue was lack of highlines bc I called with some questions and the lady specifically told me there were posts for highlines and cables to tie horse to. Had to go to tractor supply and spent $200 on high line equipment. Bathroom couldve been cleaned more often. Water wasnt turned on at dump station even though we were told dump station was open.

Overall good horse camp. More wheel barrows are needed for site cleanup.

This is a great place to camp with your horses & many trails to rides, but the fact that non horse campers can take up our space & limit us on when we can come is not fair unless you are going to let us camp with our horses in the other campgrounds.

Great location. Having electric is nice. Shocked no water at sites. Clean out area was nice. Volunteer at campground was very helpful and friendly. Only suggestion I have is to make more camp sites like this. Several horse trailers in overflow lot. I think more there than in the campsite. Also, the Jeep/4wd people could use sites with water and electric. Please build more. If packed at Thanksgiving I can only imagen the summertime.

When we arrived at our campsite, the previous campers had just pulled out and dumped both holding tanks right on the site. This created a muddy mess with a really strong urine smell. Very unsanitary! Also, the horse campers on the next site tied one of their horses to a tree for 3 days who chewed the bark off the tree. The camp host was made aware of both of these problems. There were not enough wheelbarrows available to cleanup the horse areas. There was a non horse camper taking up a horse campsite while horse campers had to park in the overflow area. There needs to be better oversight to enforce the rules.

Nice place to stay. The horse people need more wheel barrows to clean up their site with.
