The grass had not been cut in the campground. One of the toilets was locked due to being full. One or two trees had trails blocked with no warning. We rode in quite a ways and had to turn around.

Camp was freshly mowed and beautiful. I went during the week so it was very quiet and relaxing.

We love riding out of Whetstone horse camp. There has been alot of work done on the trails after all the damage from Helene. Deeply appreciated.
However the horse camp itself is not being taken care of. The bathrooms were locked. The mounting block at the back of campground is falling apart and dangerous. Most all the hitching post to tie ur horses were muddy and wet. Need fill dirt and gravel. Campers are high tying on trees because they’re unable to utilize these for their horses. There was no host to address any concerns .
