EXCEPTIONAL!!! Store camp personnel (Tina, Jenny, & Justin) were very helpful, personable, and customer oriented. Couldn't get the GPS to recognize the camp address on our way there so I called for the correct info & had no problems reaching our destination. We were very fortunate to reserve a canyon campsite (there's only 4 hookups there), bathhouse was sufficient, 12x12 clean stalls w/fresh wood chips awaiting our horses arrival, hitching posts provided near campsite, wheelbarrow available for picking stalls as needed, and water hose nearby for use. Gave canyon campground 4stars since there was no picnic table or designated fire pit but got by fine without provision. RBC Staff member Tina was very helpful to relay our need for ice to RBC Staff member Justin who came to pick us up for shuttle 2 mornings. Justin was very informative to warn us of a partial trail closure and how to still double back in order to see sights that we would have missed. Trails are VERY WELL marked and map provided seemed accurate, can't believe anyone ever getting lost. We were very excited to learn they are cutting more trails and can't wait to visit again...sooner than later. |

We, our horses and our dog enjoyed our stay @ HCHC. Owner CB & his family were very informative upon our arrival, gave us very accurate maps to find our way around and even offered free firewood. All the campsites are well shaded, have picnic tables, firepits, & hitching posts for use. The bathhouse was clean and centrally located within the camp sites. The dump station was conveniently located near the bathhouse. We used a round pen that was available (since we had the campground to ourselves) even though there were clean barn stalls available for the taking. HCHC even provides WIFI! The trails were GREAT, no crossing busy roads, mostly cleared from ice storm damage, we saw the Double Arches, the Arch, the Devil's Den, & lots of beautiful rock formations. We met 4 riders that were staying @ another campground complaining how far they had to ride in order to reach BSF interior trails, which we didn't have that problem at all. We met 6 other riders that were staying @ another campground complaining their site was in the "middle of a yard" and they couldn't have their horses in their campground, which we didn't have that problem either. Our dog even became best friends with a resident neighbor's dog that chose to be our "trail boss" for no charge, HA! We WILL most certainly return to HCHC, it was the best (people, horse and dog) accommodating camp we've visited @ BSF. |
