The bathrooms at the entrance were horrible, no one is cleaning them. We’ve come to this camp several times and have never had this problem before. Hopefully this was a fluke and will not be a problem from here on out.

Been camping here for years. It has its ups and downs, but overall it's my favorite place to stay with my horses.
I do think it needs to be HORSES only as the other campers have no clue how to safely behave around equines. It's a recipe for disaster having non horse campers in this horse campground.

great campground with easy access for the most part
many sites need to be graded to make them more level
men's shower water perfect -----women's too cold

The camp host was non existent. I have been to this campground too many times to count. My campsite was filthy. trash in the firepit, beer cans, other non burning items. There were old piles of manure on my site and just basic trash scattered on the site. the restrooms were not clean, and on Sunday there was NO PAPER in the ladies room.
I cleaned up the site where my animals were, but i did leave the old piles of manure.
Further, i had an incident at camp where 2 intoxicated individuals were on my site, their dog was urinating on my items outside, rug, hay bag, etc.
When i asked them to leave it caused a huge altercation and the camp host Never appeared to help. We called 911 and the officer NEVER came either.
This is one of my favorite places to camp and i do not feel the changes made with rotating camp host has provided ANY positive change. You cannot rely on the current camp host for any assistance. The Rangers are not available and in this case calling 911 provided not assistance either.
I felt very unsafe during my recent stay.
