The staff was top notch. They absolutely check for Coggins and match papers to the horse.
The stalks were clean and in great shape. The camp was clean and beautiful

Campground is clean. Trails are marked well so if you have a map, you can ride all day. Like their new enforcement requiring stalls to be cleaned or face a fine. This year's camp host was great. She came by to check on us every day. Good place to go.

Overall a good experience! Loved the trails which are well marked! Camp host was very helpful! Camp spot was good...had lots of cut firewood! Only difficulty at the time was the bathhouse; men’s shower did work (so some were showering on the ladies side). Shower water was only lukewarm at best.
