Timber Ridge is a very clean and comfortable campground. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Nice barns and very nice bathhouse. All of the campers that we saw were very pleased with their stay as well. There is a really nice obstacle course behind the campground. We really enjoyed the Shepherd's Den trail. We will definitely return.

Camp Rating:

THE TAMARACK IS OUR (MY WIFE AND I)FAVORITE PLACE TO RIDE. WE HAVE BEEN RIDING THE TRAILS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. FOR THE MOST PART THERE IS A HIGH AND A LOW TRAIL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TAMARACK RIVER. IF YOU STAY ON THE WEST SIDE YOU WILL END UP AT A NICE LUNCH SPOT ALONG THE ST.CROIX RIVER OR TAKE THE ROCK LAKE LOOP WHICH WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO CAMP. THE EAST SIDE GOES TO PINE POINT ANOTHER NICE SPOT FOR LUNCH.FROM PINE POINT YOU CAN RIDE TO DANBURY,WI. ABOUT A 1 1/2 HOUR RIDE THE BAR IN TOWN WEST OF TRAIL HAS TIE LINES AND WELCOMES HORSES. THERE ARE 3 CAMP LOOPS THE OLD LOOP IS CLOSER TO THE RIVER AND IS NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT FOR DAY RIDERS. THE UPPER 2 LOOPS HAVE 20 SITES EACH. ALL CAMP SITES HAVE TIE LINES PICNIC TABLE AND FIRE RING. THERE IS A WELL PUMP IN THE MIDLE LOOP WITH A GENERATOR PLUG IF YOU WANT TO FILL SOME TANKS. THE RIDING IS CHALLENGING AND VERY SCENIC THE 2 WEEKS AGO WE COULDN'T CROSS THE RIVER EXCEPT AT THE ATV BRIDGE WATER WAS TO HIGH. THE WATER HAS SINCE COME DOWN AND IS CROSSABLE. SITES COST 15 DOLLARS PER NIGHT AND YOU NEED A STATE TRAIL PASS.

WE HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES AND ENJOY IT GREATLY. WE WENT ON AN OVERNIGHT PACK TRIP.HAD THE GREATEST TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THE BAD REVIEWS. HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED RUDLY. THE GIFT SHOP IS NICE AND THE FOOD HERE GOOD. SERVICE A LITTLE SLOW BUT, NO BIG DEAL.I DON'T CARE FOR THE CAMPGROUND BECAUSE IT IS OPEN AND IT DOES GET HOT.THERES A COMMUNITY FIRE RING. BUT THE RIDING IS GREAT. THE TRAILS ARE NOT MARKED SO BE CAREFUL. I DON'T CARE FOR THE PRIMATIVE AREA. HARD FOR BIG RIGS.I HAVE A CABIN VERY NEAR THERE.WE KEEP HORSES AT THE FLYING W AND RIDE ON OUR OWN. YOU CAN ALWAYS PICK UP THE END OF A TRAIL RIDE. I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED CARLA AND JOHNNY FOR GUIDES. JOHNNY PASSED A WHILE BACK.DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.

We were there last weekend. Five riders with 2 non-rider husbands and and three kids. All had a great time with fishing, pool and driving range. Only susggestion would be a hot tub. Everything is well taken care of and CLEAN!! This was our second trip and not our last. Plenty of trails with various terrain. Highly recomend.

Big South Fork - True West Campground & Stables

Just returned from a wonderful week of riding the Big South Fork (BSF) Area and camping at True West Campgrounds. Mark and Sue were great hosts!! Mark is very knowledgable of the area and helped up map out a enjoyable ride each day. His directions were very good. The BSF Map and the directional signs on the trail didn't always match, but if you follow Mark's directions, you won't get lost. Mark even trailered us a couple of time so we could enjoy even more of the BSF Area. The Campground was very clean, as were the stalls/barn area. Bath house was so clean, we used them instead of the showers in our trailers. Bath house has two toilets, three showers, a double sink with heat and a/c. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit the BSF area.

stop here on our way to land between the lakes. campground very clean. shower was good. only one place to get water but they have electric. very nice people. we rode the trail for a very short time. we didn't feel that they were marked very well and we didn't know where we were. but if we were staying for a few days it would have been better.we would like to return for a longer trip and ride the trails longer.
