The water system at the correls is completely broken with broken plastic pipes that could injured horses. Reservations were not posted when we arrived. The manure bunker needs to be emptied as well. The company managing the contract needs to be held accountable. There were 6 families with horses camping there while we were. It is being used!

There was no camp host so no reservations where posted. Fortunately, there was no conflicts. The stock water was on, but the hoses that are normally available where not out. We did see a ranger driving through twice which was great. A fantastic experience overall. Hopefully, the camp host and stock water situation will be smoother for everyone next year. Thank you to the staff still working and keeping the doors open.

The central bathroom was full. It’s the second week of July. So full it’s splashed your backside when having a morning uh-hem! Then to top it off, the hoses were gone. The water sprockets were NOT on. If you wanted water, you had to hand pump it and then haul it over to your horse paddock. It was a workout. No camp host this season. We are under a new contract that isn’t hands on and let non-horse people camp here again. This is cyclic folks. I pray they get a grip on this before summers end. I was scheduled to come back in September for a week. I’m keeping an eye on other posts on whether to cancle or not.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
