We camped here during Memorial Day Weekend, one night only, but we had a great time. The campgrounds were mostly RVs, but we didn't have any issues finding a spot to set up our tent. There are plenty of green areas to camp, including firepits and picnic tables.

The owners and helpers are incredibly friendly. My friend even needed a horse because hers was sore and they rented her a wonderful mare to ride. (Jolene). The pens were perfect. Large and safe where a nice breeze could flow through. The people in the permanent sites were friendly and helpful as well.

If I could give 10 stars I would!! 10/10 Highly recommend. We stayed in the Bear Den cabin it was perfect for my two children and I. But it's the beautiful horses and amazing owners that get the 10 star! Stephanie is top notch people!! Thanks Tannette and Stephanie for taking care of us you two are a blessing to all!!!
