What Guests Are Saying

Whitefish Horse Camp offers a clean and well-maintained facility with excellent horse corrals and convenient water access. Campers appreciate the beautiful trails, helpful camp hosts, and the proximity to Crescent Lake. However, some guests reported noise from generators during quiet hours and suggested improvements such as additional manure disposal options and better trail condition updates.

Beautiful camp. Lots of shade trees, water spigot close to all sites and metal horse corrals. Most sites easy to back in larger trailers. Trails are great and not difficult for most horses.

Jim and Jerry were absolutely fantastic hosts. We’ve had enough negative experiences with Jerry in the previous years that we almost didn’t come back this year. Since Crescent is our favorite lake & the trails riding is perfect, we gave it one more shot. Since we didn’t have to deal w/Jerry and only saw Jim—our stay was DELIGHTFUL!
