Always a fun time at Whetstone horse camp. Trails were in good shape thanks to all the volunteers and staff.
Always remember to bring your wheel barrow and fork so u can clean up your horse sites and dump it in the manure bin. Some people forget to clean up their area leaving a mess for the next camper and horses. Shameful.
It's a nice place and we should all pitch in to keep it up.

Campsite area improved since I was there last, years ago. Of course we would love electrical hookup but horse people seem to rate less. Was disappointed that last campers did not clean up after their horses but that is no fault of management. Love the trails. Reasonable rates.

This beautiful place is nestled in a cozy little place in the Mountains. Surrounded by beautiful trees, singing birds, and total peaceful serenity. There's multiple trails that lead in all different directions. Beside beautiful singing water streams, little waterfalls, and beside and through the River if you choose to ride that way. The CHOICES are truly endless!!
For a beautiful, peaceful, and truly relaxing place to spend with your 2 and 4 legged friends.. this is the place to be!!
