We came in on a Tuesday to primitive camp and were the only ones there. The campsites were clean, flat and mostly shaded. The vault toilet bathrooms were very clean. There were many horse/hiking trails that were very well marked. Horse trailers started rolling in on Thursday, but everyone was real friendly. We will definitely stay again, but during the week to avoid the crowd.

Well kept quiet Campground. Self Serve no fee. There was a lot of standing water although we've had a ton of rain lately. My only complaint is that spots are limited when conditions are wet

A very well kept and well laid out horse camp. There was no horse activity during my short visit but I was told it's very busy on the weekends.

Great primitive camping experience! Only one other camper on Saturday night. Great hiking trail loops in the range 2 to 10 miles.

Depressing place to tent camping during a bike tour. Several miles off route, very primitive, and we saw no one all night
