From the first day, when the person checking us in said she didn't need to see our coggins test, I began to doubt the place. How many horses have come that haven't had testing? After the first day, we only saw one person twice in the week we were there. No-one in the store, you can buy ice or wood on the honor system, which is fine, but shavings and hay were locked up. The barns and areas around them are dirty and run down. The platform by the manure pit has loose and cracking boards that sag when you step on it. Stalls have deep holes, and uneven flooring, with boards missing around the base of the walls. They advertise a "laundry room" which is a coin op washer and dryer crammed into a small hallway, barely wide enough to hold them, that reeks of wet and mold. No change available, so bring enough. Sites are ok, but the campground is not lit, so plan on a flashlight for night check. The obstacle course is run down, with broken features, and rough ground. Manure pits and grounds are not maintained, so the flies are deplorable. The pallets to place feed on are rotting, filled with mold and bugs. Wheelbarrows are held together with baling twine, forks are broken, no shovels provided... but the threat of a $25 fee if stalls aren't cleaned out. The trail system is not their responsibility, but that too is deplorable. It is rough, with severe washouts, and many downed trees that you have to pick your way around. It is overgrown, and narrow. There is little to no signage, they give you a map, but there's nothing to reference. They are not for novice riders, period. I was riding with experienced riders, and they were struggling too. There are too many nice places to stay and ride at, I wouldn't recommend either the camground nor the trails to anyone.
