For the third time in the last three years we arrived at the campground to find our reserved campsite already occupied. The first two times after much delay and confusion we were able to move into campsite. This last time we found that the camp host gave our reserved site to a couple who simply wanted to be next to their friends who were camped in the adjacent site. We drive approximately three hours to the campground to find we dont have a campsite due to someones negligence or it has been given away to someone else.

Well kept and quiet.

Trails were great for a hike. Disconnecting from the outside world was refreshing. My daughter loved seeing all the horses, over all a great time!

@AlexusM1805BF7 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #14

This was the best place to camp. The water was clean and clear, it wasnt very crowded. This place was just wonderful, recommended all my friends and familys here. I have straight talk and didnt have service until i was at the four way stop sign. I would come back to this place again!

Gorgeous primitive campground and trail system. Camp host will not enforce quiet time.

@MillieETDF0EE3 · Camped on Nov 10, 2023 at Campsite #4

Great place to camp with your horses

@TammisP8585555 · Camped on Oct 27, 2023 at Campsite #6

Always a pleasant place to camp with the horses. Place is always clean.

@DanC4119480 · Camped on Oct 26, 2023 at Campsite #13

The campground was in good shape. We had no issues during our stay.

@SamanthaG47815 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #10

Love riding here. The trails were a tad muddy but the river is so pretty. Only compliant would be non horse campers taking up a large section of campground

@jacke4703870 · Camped on Mar 29, 2023 at Campsite #2

Great horse camp . HorseTrail needs clearing

@EddieC2128773 · Camped on Mar 22, 2023 at Campsite #2

Horse high tie areas need lots of work. Trails need to have rotin trees cut before they fall on some one

@jacke4703870 · Camped on Nov 3, 2022 at Campsite #12

Their are about 8 low tie post for the horses.Thesevare very dangerous to tie the horses to.The other sites have the high tie lines for the horses they are great.Please have the low tie replaced with the high ones .Other than that we enjoyed our time there and the host was very helpful

@SusanC3925585 · Camped on Oct 24, 2022 at Campsite #10

Camp ground clean. However the trash cans were full and they did not pick up! Was there M-Sunday. Also would like to see the hitching/ties at sites like 14 removed. They are dangerous to horses. They are so low and the metal tie ring can hurt a horse, potentially killing a horse. Very dangerous! They put up signs that you had to tie to rack… not high tie to trees! For sure those who make that decision as well as design of tie rack are not horse people!!!!! Would like to see these low tie racks removed. Poor poor not horse friendly design!!!!

@TammisP8585555 · Camped on Oct 21, 2022 at Campsite #4

Beautiful campground, very spacious spots. Love it

@MarcelleH90445 · Camped on Oct 20, 2022 at Campsite #17

I felt the trails were too dangerous for me and my horse.

@DavidY2049239 · Camped on Oct 20, 2022 at Campsite #1

Very Beautiful with the Fall colors

@SusanM8574216 · Camped on Sep 22, 2022 at Campsite #10

Very nice, no real complaints.

@PeggyJ6813067 · Camped on Apr 21, 2022 at Campsite #7

Very nice campground

@AntonioO689778 · Camped on Mar 24, 2022 at Campsite #12

Excellent park, beautiful views, very good trails.

@JoshuaK379 · Camped on Dec 28, 2021 at Campsite #14

First let me say that I would rate the camp 5 stars if our camp site/ parking area didn't turn into a mud bog on the second day of rain. The camp restroom and fire pit were perfectly functional for our needs, and the water wasn't too bad. I'd strongly recommend they take the time to haul in a few loads of gravel to redo some of their camping surfaces. Other than that, this campground is awesome and is surrounded with a whole bunch of awesome waterfall hikes.

@BradleyD216 · Camped on Dec 26, 2021 at Campsite #13

This place is quiet and clean. The restrooms are clean and so is the camp. Shower house would be nice. Some sites could use some gravel, but overall, with the fishing hunting hiking riding opportunities here it's a full win.

@JustinS268 · Camped on Nov 6, 2021 at Campsite #1

The campsite itself was great, but there isn't a camp host to enforce rules. We listened to multiple generators run all night long.

@JoAnnA324 · Camped on Nov 3, 2021 at Campsite #11

The fire rings need cleaning and also there are areas on the camp site that have holes needs leveling.

@DavidM269 · Camped on Oct 8, 2021 at Campsite #4

Beautiful Horse Camp. Very relaxed and peaceful setting. Very good accommodations for horses. Camp Host is On the Job. Great riding trails well marked. Our Favorite place to camp/ride.

@ColeyJ525 · Camped on Aug 20, 2021 at Campsite #5

No wheel barrows for haul manure to the manure station. Some of the horse hi-tie areas hold water and become a muddy mess.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
