We had a fantastic adventure here! Loved visiting the horses! Hiking the trails! A beautiful space. And Kevin, the owner, went above and beyond to help us with a pretty major dilemma! He’s an angel on earth in my humble opinion. Thank you! We’ll be back!
What a wonderful venue for the Wild Creek Entertainers having their 16th annual show featuring not only their entertainment but the headliner music wise was Shenandoah! The show, despite the rain was AAA+! This place, the lake, the woods and everything else at El Rancho Mañana was simply spectacular!
Great place for camping, both for RVs, Pull behinds and Tents. We got a beautiful site right on the water. Horseback riding was best part of the weekend. Great and clam horses. If you're a beginner I recommend you ask if you can ride Austin. But sadly this weekend was the last weekend till next season.
We went to el rancho manana super last minute. The good: they had plenty of open camps and the neighbors were really quiet even when partying . It was a nice change as I’ve been camping many places in different states. We went horse back riding which was an extremely fun ride. Our guide Emily did a wonderful job with my daughter Isabella who is nine. She was extremely patient as Isabella’s horse was a tad slower then the other horses . She even took a nice photo for our family which I didn’t expect:). We met some people and they were awesome. It’s a great camping ground for families and young children. Negative: the group of guys slinging the F word around at the kids portion of the lake. Don’t be like them they were rude but other then that we had so much fun!. Thank you we will be back again !!.
