Stan and Libby are awesome and I hope they continue to come back and host. They’re great.
My only complaint is that the people next to me had dogs that barked incessantly. That’s the first time I’ve had that happen at Hunter Corrals. Otherwise it was a great trip.

Be aware that even after reading the website and being assured by the ranger this is a campground open to all you may not be treated the same by the “host” of you don’t have horses. We booked only a week in advance and were grilled by the host how we could have gotten a reservation???? I don’t think he ever read the description which specifically states open to all campers. The location was ok but I will say gunfire seems to be a nightly occurrence not far from the campsite. Needless to say we won’t be back.

Wonderful camping! Loved the mountain views. Easy access to trails. Camp hosts Stan and Libby are wonderful and we're always helpful. Checking in every evening to see is you needed anything. Can't wait to come back soon!

Beautiful riding nice camp ground other then the poop bins not getting cleaned on a weekly base which was unpleasant when you are camped right across from them. Nice camp host.

We love the time that we spend at Hunter's Trail head. The camp hosts are very accommodating and always willing to help . We also met Forest Ranger Chuck we was also very helpful and pleasant.
We were not able to be at the Trailhead for the entire time that I was able to book. When I tried to modify my reservations thru Recreation.gov it would not allow me to do that. I know that Hunter Trailhead is a popular spot in the summer and wanted to allow someone else time to utilize that spot. Unfortunately because I was not allowed to do this our campsites sat empty for one week with no one using them.

A very enjoyable experience and wonderful trails. The camp was well maintained, the hosts were very accommodating, the sites were plenty large for my 32' horse trailer. Fire pits were nice, access to fire wood and certified hay was great!
