We rented a camper from r and r campers 22 miles away and so glad we did. No showers but plenty of great fresh water for the horses. Flies weren't too bad as long as you keep them sprayed. Use fly boots to help minimize the ticks. Loves the trails. Will be better next year when trees grow up more. 2021 the long trail mostly open riding due to storm last year. They have trails cleaned up very well!!! We will go again.
Horse's are known to camp here some sites are close together some are triple sites for bigger groups. You may need a teny tiny bit of backup skill not much to park in a couple sites with long 30 foot trailers
Great ride, with plenty of trails. The trail markers aren't clear though. They don't have the "you are here" mark on the trail maps.
thanks to mother nature, SHE CAN FIX HER SELF after the DNR made trail improvements. it's a nice trail over looking the trade river now. Thank you mother job well done.
Nice park.. Good trails for house riding
