My family and friends came to stay at the campground, and even though it was a busy weekend, we got a cancellation spot. I am happy the park is now reserving stalls so campers can know if there are enough stalls available before they arrive. Stalls are now covered and new bathhouse is near. The trails were well-marked and well groomed in most cases. We were able to ride two days without repeating the same trails: 10 miles one day and 12 the next. Please recognize that you can not check into camp until 2 pm, but we parked at public parking near the stable and went trail riding, then checked into our camp site when we returned, about 3:30. You must bring your own shavings, feed, hay and buckets. Loved it!! |

Although we haven't camped at Town Creek, we recently rode there and were completely blown away by how much work the local chapter of BCHA has done. We have ridden here before and found it overgrown with briars, and hard to enjoy. Now it is a wonderful trail! Water has been added at the trail head, which was much appreciated since it was hot weather when we went. We chose to ride the entire trail which ends at a beautiful spring, which the horses loved! You need a long day to be able to complete the whole ride. Please give these trails another try! We loved them. Horses did have shoes, because there are some rocky spots. |
