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.

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!
