The campground itself is nice, clean and maintained. It's fairly new. All the stalls Are on the inside of the barn instead of facing out like most barns. The only ventilation comes from the stall door, the other 3 sides of the stall are solid wood. It was so hot in the barn, me along with several others moved our horses to tie lines. I would rather drive around and pick my own site, not here, they give you your site number and stall number when you make reservations. Not fond of that. Make sure your horse is in fit condition, trails are very hilly with some places many large rocks. Owners are nice but standoffish, if you speak to them, they will speak to you but they don't go out of their way to make you feel at home. Most likely will not be back. |

We wanted to go to the Ozarks for the past few years. I wasn't sure which campgrounds to pick. Well, we picked the right one. We have camped in 10 different states and this was by far the best camp and trails. The workers went out of their way to make us feel at home. The showers were very clean. They had a variety of trails. The only bad thing, us that it is 770 miles from home. We spent 10 very great days there and can't wait to go back. |

$145 for 2 night is BS. When we camp in PA, we usually go to Hickory Creek. But it was the last minute and they were all booked up, so I called the Flying W. There was 3 permanent campers who were camping, us and I other. They are too lazy to draw up a map, so do not except to get a map. The water smelled so bad, that we unhooked and used out water from home. There's no trees at all in the full hookups section and you are very, very close to your neighbor. Stalls were father away then I'd like to be. Trails were ok, but bc of the prices, their attitudes and the camp. WE WILL NOT BE BACK. |

Had a great time, even saw 4 bear cubs n the trail. Camps clean, bathrooms are clean. I would have given it both 5 stars but the 1st trail we were on sucked. It was very rocky, the horses were having a lot of trouble, a lot of trees down so we turned around and found another trail. The rest of the trails were great, some trees down, a little rocky in spots but nothing like the 1st trail. The campground would have also had a 5 star but for 2 reasons. Which both I can understand being the start of the season, the 1st, if it wasn't golf carts, it was the 4 wheeler or the tractor running around. My horses didn't really care for that, most of the time the shut it down when they saw we were waiting for the to move and the 2nd was the maps. They didn't have any current maps and the printer was out of ink, he gave us 2 old maps and drew out a map for us, which was nice and better then nothing. But with the start of the season, they should have had tons of copies made. But we made do with what we had and only got lost twice. They were very nice, but busy working on the grounds. The only thing I don't like about it, is the hot wires on the trails around the grounds. Once you get away from the camp, theres no wires. Our 1st time there last fall, the horse my husband was riding got her leg wrapped around the wire (its pretty close to the trail)and freaked out, he ended up getting bucked off and hurt pretty bad. This time, my 95% bomb proof horse spooked on the back side close to the campgrounds when one of their horses ran out of the lien too. He did a 180 and took of in a canter, he turned so hard it took the stir ups right out of my feet. Cantered so hard my sunglasses fell off my head. I hung on and got him stopped but a few more feet I most likely would have been on the ground. When I got him stopped, he was about 6 inches from the hot wire. But all in all, we had a great time, we were very close to the barn, weather was great. We will be back again. |
