The campground is very nice, large clean bathhouse, instant hot water in the private room showers. Good stalls. Camp host, Chris, was great - shared lots of info about the trails & recommended where we rode. There are easy, wide trails and challenging trails. Nice little obstacle trail to play on. We rode Chicken Hollow (Wet Prong, Collie Ridge, Blair) a very nice easy 10 mile loop with some creek crossings. For more of a challenge we rode McCoy Hollow/First Creek - the hills were not steep, but plenty of rocky places to navigate with some places for the horses to climb or jump up/down - very beautiful with big rock formations, creeks and waterfalls - we rode all 18 miles of McCoy Hollow in one day, but next time will use the gravel road that goes up the center of the loop to make it 2 shorter days of riding. Will have to come back a few times to make sure we ride the other 40+ miles of trails we didn't get to. Easy to get to with truck & trailer. One of the best camps we've been in and great trails - definitely recommend. |

Nice clean camp, great tack store. The people running the camp were extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. It's been my experience that most camps have pretty nice people, but these guys were top notch. The trails are well kept and well marked, the map was great. Beautiful area and scenery. We will be back! |
