Camp Rating: |
The campground is small, but nice, it has high lines and hitching type posts. We prefer high lines for camping. There are fire pits at the sites and picnic tables. Most of the sites with High lines are in full sun. There is water, but it is a hand pump, we hauled our own water. The ranger comes around and collects payment, or you can reserve on reserve america. The trails are all sand, some areas are pretty deep. No mud or rock at all, a great work out for the horses, rolling hills and mostly all wooded. Good place to start a horse. We ride gaited and it was nice to be able to really move out the entire time. There are 49 miles of trails with an additional 120 miles of fire lanes you can ride. It was a great spot to get the horses into shape this spring, I would not go in the summer when it is hot and dry. But perfect for spring and fall. Do not put things on the ground, the "sand spurs" are brutal and will eat you alive! And watch out for the cactus on the edge of the trails :) Nice change of scenery for Illinois. We will go back, all the people and ranger were super nice. |
