Wild Mare Horse Camp

The camp itself was nice. Though there was not a wheelbarrow available for manure. Definitely bring your own. The noise from the OHVs can be heard constantly all day and late into the night. There were a couple homeless taking up a few spaces (unauthorized and unpaid) as well as a few creepers emerging from the woods into one of our campsites. This is not a camp our group will return to.

Always a pleasure to visit, ride, and camp at WIld Mare :)

The camp is easy to get to and located in a quiet area of the recreation are. Only wish was a trail map. We were told that you can ride all over, but you will have to figure out where you are going and how to get back(GPS?). We took the 3/4-1 mile well marked trail to the beach.

LOVE camping here, however, I do not recommend if you have long-haired dog. Tons of burrs in my Cocker Spaniels coat....he's going to be shaved on 8/30! But love the campsite and nice to be able to take the horses.

There aren't many spaces there and two of them were blocked off, I don't know why. Also there were two other spaces occupied with people that had no horses. A number of the stalls were in terrible condition, they were worn down deeply and had it rained there would have been a terrible mess. The parking was unkept and dirty, there was garbage all around the outskirts of the space we had, this attracted racoons which upset our horses and one of them suffered a laceration as a result of one racoon. The days we were there we only saw the camp host once, then just to put paper in the latrine, he and she never bothered to speak to us. I have spent many hours maintaining trails and horse camps so I resent those that use the horse facilities when they have no right to. Wild Mare is mismanaged about as poorly as possible. Go somewhere else.

Camp host was very nice. I didn't love the idea that random campers could use the horse camp. Several people came in to stay that made us feel very uncomfortable. Overall a good experience, not great.

Beautiful fairly private. Corrals very muddy. Gravel for drainage would be great. Horse trail to beach DEEP sand strong possibility of tendon injury. 5 m round trip. Beautiful beach mostly empty in that section.

It’s a good place to have a quiet week away from the holiday madness. Weather is always mild in the early off season.

Quiet, aside from the usual natural sounds. Lots of privacy. Very close to trail, beach and OHV staging areas. Not terribly far drive from services in town. Most corrals are metal pipe and offer 4 stalls per camp spot. The ones with the old wood log corrals are neat to look at but latching the gate seems impractical if not impossible. Plentiful water spigots along circle drive. Vault toilets clean, sanitizer station outside of them. Spots are easy to back trailers into, even our 36ft in the rain and dark. More double wide spaces would be nice, considering all campers there during our stay had RVs. A long horse trailer with LQ or 4+ horses may have an issue with parking their towing vehicle out of the way if they don't choose a double wide spot. We will definitely return on a regular basis. Great price with Interagency Access Pass disability/veteran camp discount.

The campground was quiet BUT Need more strict rules on check in and out. Next camper after me came on HOURS early and trapped me in for a day, only to start a huge fight and spin it like I was in violation. I stayed in spot 12 at Wild Mare Horse Camp. The reservation lady, Hanna, took the side of the INVASIVE camper. I will never go back and will tell all my friends about the rude staff and crazy campers that invade personal space. I do not recommend this place as the bathrooms were always out of toilet paper and filthy, people came in during the night to do drugs scaring my child, and many people do not leash their dogs.
Unfortunately they have a GOOD OL BOY mentality and don't actually care about the grounds.
