Love vacationing at Hunter. Campground is kept very clean and love having the pens for the horses. Stan and Libbie are wonderful camp hosts and quickly become like family you visit every year. If you happen to have any issues they will go out of their way to assist. Because of their hospitality many like us come back every year.
