We had a lovely time at this equestrian campground. Pit toilets, 2 corrals per site, great rangers. The campground and trails are not in heavy use, which is good, because much of it is single track. The southwest side of the trails leaving the campground had clearly burned fairly recently and needed work. We appreciated how close the lake was - we rode in the morning and paddleboarded in the afternoon.
Excellent Campground for horses. Great trails.
