Came here for a day ride to check out the place. Pulled up to the entrance and had to pay $3.00 per horse. I told the lady I had never been there before and she didn't seemed concerned. She gave me my change and said "Here's your parking pass" Then she looked away to her computer. I then asked her if she had a map and where I needed to go. Finally got basic info to proceed. The Day area has 4 parking spots in the middle of the camping area. They have a restroom near buy and one set of high lines and place for your manure. I didn't camp but would never do so. Camp sites are small and crammed in with regular campers. There were no high lines at the campsites that I saw. Trails were very nice though I could see how they could get very muddy. It was dry and meandered through the woods and then along the lake. Had a nice beach stop for the horses to play. Near the end the trail just seemed to stop. No directions, just dumped you into what looks like a construction work zone with 30 or so pieces of construction equipment. Finally found our way to the overgrown trail to be dumped out on the other side of the park into the campsites. Kids and dogs running everywhere. Finally had to walk through the entire campground to get back to our trailer. Lets say not fun. This place has a lot of potential but obviously doesn't put a lot of effort for the horse riders. I wont be back.

This is a very easy place to ride. They are doing a lot of construction on the trails and could see that if it had rained it would have been very muddy. Fortunately it had not rained in a while so the trails were dry. The lake was way down and not very attractive. The camp sites are not large enough for big rigs and there are no high lines provided. Some sites are not flat and appropriate for tying horses to trailers. My site was way to small for my bumper pull 2 horse and truck. I had to high line my horse at a friends site since my horse would have been in the road all night. I can recommend this place for nice trail riding but camping is iffy. You better get there early and get a good site. They allow non horse camping mixed in with horse camping.
