This campground offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful landscapes and well-maintained amenities. Campers appreciate the clean restrooms and showers, and the opportunity to explore the trails and interact with the horses. However, some campers noted that the sites are quite close together, and there can be issues with off-leash dogs. Overall, it's a quiet and welcoming spot, especially appealing to those looking to unwind in nature.
My experience there was mixed the site was very wet and got stuck in the mud trying to back in to the spot. After a long drive that's the last thing you wanna deal with. On a brighter side I called the host at 1030 pm and he did come out right away and towed me out. I guess if your gonna stay there maybe wait till the drier months.
Beautiful place. Cool ranch with beautiful horses. Lots of woods with big ravines provided great hikes for us and the kids. During a wetter time there would have even been some pretty cool little waterfalls. We drove down the field to the lake and fished for a bit while the sun set. We never actually met the hosts but they communicated well and let us know if there was anything we needed they were there for us. For just a short drive out of town this felt like a great little getaway.
Very nice place to stay a few days, restroom/shower areas clean. Camp sites are close together but I was the only one tent camping so it didn’t make a difference.
