For a primitive camp this state camp was great. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is you travel down a bumpy dirt road for about 15-18 miles.The state is responsible for clearing the trails and finishing the corrals.The funds were cut so they are doing the best they can to the trails clear and finish the corrals. We found the camp hosts very helpful.The camp was clean and orderly.The trails were clear except an area near the divide.Trails were a slow climb and there were only a few areas I would call extreme. The trails had beautiful meadows and were safe enough for the intermediate rider. FYI- Be off the mountain by early noon,as the weather changes quickly and you do not want to get caught in a lighting storm. |

I gave this campground a 5 because to location to the trails. We rode right out from our campsite. The only negative I could say was there was no corrals as we were told there would be. The camp hosts were great and checked on us everyday. They even talked to the forestery service (who is responsible for camp maintainence) about building corrals. The trails were a slow climb to the top elevation.The meadows and the glaciers were beautiful. I would say that an intermediate rider who do just fine here. |

We made a reservation here on our way back home We were told by someone who had rode here it was a good several day ride. Talked to the owner and had to pay in advance.Trails were alot of cut overs and wandering through pine thickets. Had to leave early because child broke arm at home (about 400 miles away) Would not refund days not used or return phone calls |
