What Guests Are Saying

Hunter Campground is well-maintained and offers a fantastic location with stunning views and a variety of rugged trails for equestrian enthusiasts. Camp hosts Stan and Libby receive high praise for their helpfulness and friendliness, creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. While the campground provides clean facilities and designated pens for horses, some guests noted that having only one corral per site can be challenging for larger groups.
