Pit toliet was very clean. The pump was fixed and working great as of 5/26/2024. New picnic tables were made! Trails were awesome. The grass could have been cut.

When it takes 40 pumps to start the non potable well water pump... it's a concern.. Pit toilets are clean. Plenty of spaces to camp... this a horse campground... not just a campground.. don't go there without a horse. Don't upset the horse owners who go there to ride their horses. No water... no electric... I was invited as a guest and their was three horses... out of 8 spaces, only 3 has places to tie your horses. All of the picnic tables are damaged in some way... and graffiti behind the pit toilet..

Nice scenic hike by the water only down side is there are no shops or gas stations for about 8 to 10 miles in each direction so make sure you stop before you get to this place
