Our stay here was 10/7-10/13/2021. This one was so special to us. We didn't have any horses but everyone treated us with welcoming vibes and kindness. The owners and family are attentive, kind, and hard working. The grounds are well kept. They worked non-stop our entire stay. The bathrooms were well attended to also. Cleaned regularly and well stocked. The showers were nice. They had an outdoor grill on a patio that was free for guests to use, and we used it to make some burgers, yum! The sites can be tricky for folks who aren't used to having a horse trailer. But, if you have the right skills, you got it! The mercantile was so cool, we made some purchases in there. Wifi is available with a password. A couple of ponds on the grounds, also some teepee sites,, wagons,, and cabins are available. If you have any kind of adoration for horses, this is a wonderful place to visit. Truly. 

Great Horse Camp!

Nice barns, clean bathhouses, and very friendly staff

Great weekend 

Beautiful campground, nice level spots that are easy to get in and out of, dump station on site which was very easy to get to. Barns are well kept and clean. Bathrooms/bathhouses  were spotless!  Free sawdust to campers for their stalls. Water all throughout the barn and easy to get to. The location is great, just 20 minutes from Jamestown for a quick trip to Walmart or the Dollar store. Nice little restaurant just 4 miles down the road if you don't want to cook. Picket state park is only 30 minutes down the road for some nice hiking and other activities, Scott State park is just a few miles the other way. Endless hiking, lots of trails to ride as well!
