Howdy Trail riders! You've probably never heard of me, but I am Brett Donner, founder of the Kentucky Trail Riders Association. I probably should not be posting a review. It may be showing that I am bias. Which very well may be true. However, I have been going to Mammoth Cave Horse Camp since it opened. To say it has come a long way is accurate. The campground has always been fantastic and the folks that run the place are second to none. How it operates and how people are treated there is rarely found in the United States. From the moment you arrive, you are called by your first name and treated like you are the only person they are serving. I have attended every KYAQHA ride since Sarah Hayes started holding them at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp. How to show thank you and praise to Sarah and her group for putting on such an incredible ride is beyond me. First night dinner, RIBEYE STEAK off of the grill!, baked potato! Green beans and all the fixins and salad and desserts. AMAZING! I know I started out talking about the campground and the trails. In the early years, the trails were a little rough, poorly marked, narrow, footing was rough for a billy goat, but the forest was beautiful and it made it well worth the difficult trails to ride in such a beautiful area. Well no more! The trails are wide! The footing is incredible! Rained most of the day Saturday and Sunday morning the trails were perfect! Not a single puddle or mud hole. The base drains like nothing I have every seen. The grade is PERFECT to keep the trails from getting mud holes. The trail master needs more than an AT-A-BOY! for this project. All I can say is "SPOILED!" The hosts at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp spoil the trail riders, the trails, spoil the trail riders, and the forest remains as beautiful as ever. This place has it all, gentle easy riding for us old folks, more challenging areas for those looking for an exciting ride and miles and miles of trails for the endurance rider. If there ever was a perfect place to camp and ride, Mammoth Cave Horse Camp has provided all of us that place. We travel a little over 2 hours to get to Mammoth Cave Horse Camp. There where folks from as far away as Connecticut, lots of folks from Northern Indiana and Southern Tennessee. Mammoth Cave Horse Camp remains the number 1 five star rated horse camp in the world for all the reasons I listed above and more. Hope to see you all on the trail! Mammoth Cave Horse Camp isn't the only place to ride and camp, it's the BEST! place to ride and camp!

We spent the Memorial Day Weekend at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp. The atmosphere at Mammoth Cave Horse Camp is second to none. The hospitality is what you would expect at a fine resort. Meals were provided on this particular ride and the food was out of this world. We love coming here for the trails, but the part that keeps us coming back is how we are treated by the owners and the staff. It's a little over 2 hour drive for us. I wouldn't hesitate to drive 8 or 10 hours to camp and ride there. Visit Mammoth Cave Horse Camp, you will have a great stay.
