The campground is primitive but we knew that before we went so we went prepared. The trails are beautiful and are marked well. This may be my new favorite place to ride!" Another camper noted, "Today was our first trip to Zaleski. Camp was small, but nice. We rode the lower black trail out of camp, took the orange to blue back into camp. Lots of steep hills. Mud wasn't horrid, have definitely written in worse, but there was a steep, muddy downhill that we slid down. Would consider going back with more information on how the other trails measure up to what we rode today."

Today was our first trip to Zaleski. Camp was small, but nice. We rode the lower black trail out of camp, took the orange to blue back into camp. A couple of trees down that where impassable on the lower black trail. It's early in the season and they looked to have fallen during the winter. We had to go through some thick brush to get around them. Lots of steep hills. Mud wasn't horrid, have definitely written in worse, but there was a steep, muddy downhill that we slid down. Would consider going back with more information on how the other trails measure up to what we rode today.
Great place to with your horses. Does not have RV sewer hookup nor running water or electricity. These are primitive sites
The ride was very enjoyable and the interaction with the other people was very good! So was the food 👍
Nice overlooks. Horse flies were huge and aggressive
