It rained a lot which isn’t anybody’s fault. It would like to go back when the weather is better but it’s so hard to get a reservation there. It would be nice if they would mow the grass or at least let the horses staying there graze it.

Overall great place to camp and ride. Better have shoes and solid feet due to the rocks. Abnormal amounts of rain had the pens a mess and several bogs… but we will be back
