The campsite wasn't terrible, but its a high traffic area and terrible trail for horses. The trail is basically like walking through a dry creek bed.

There is a limit of 24 foot trailer, and you'd best be pretty good to get one that big in without bending fenders on big rocks or cars, both of which line the parking and drive going in. Be prepared to back, and push in the horse camping area to turn around. Pretty place, hikers going by several times all day long. Make sure your water tank is full. Newer pit toilets. Stanchions are decent.

We just happened to be hiking near the camp and came up on it randomly. We had no idea it was there.

I enjoyed my stay. The metal horse stalls bars were too far apart and my horse tried to lower her head and go out the front. More bars should be added. Other than that it was a wonderful time.

The sites are small and it's hard to get the trailer through the picnic area but if you can rent all the sites it's a great place for your group to get away.
