Crows Creek Campground now has electrical and water sites as options in the equestrian loop as of the fall of 2011. Along with the beauty of the lake there are also fields of native grasses and flowers along the trail leading out of the campgrounds to Jack Rabbit Bend. This makes for a very plesant ride in mid to late summer when all is in bloom.

VERY VERY SAD. A wonderful place to ride and camp. Unfortunately politics has taken it away from us. Horsemen with trail horses should get more organized and prevent this from happening. Just another place now closed to horses.

Trail Rating:

Camp Rating:

The only reason I am giving the campsite a low rating is because the park rangers here are VERY RUDE. I have been there twice and it was the same both time. They are not accommodating at all. One will also drive around and stare and stare at your campsite. I quit waving at him after about the 6th time. The showers are nice and the trails are nice; but avoid the rangers at all costs.

Trails are very wide and all gravel / rock. Shoes a must have on your horses. Park is well kept and quite. No bugs. We go several times a year and for many years. Reservations needed for elec sites most of the time.

McCulley's is a very nice relaxing place to have a wonderful vacation with your horses. The campsite, stalls, and trails are beautiful. The McCulley family is so warm and friendly, you feel like you've know them for years. We went up for Thanksgiving Weekend 2011 and then back for New Years Eve 2012 Weekend. We had a Great Time on both trips. We are looking forward to returning soon!!!!

Middlefork has GREAT WELL MARKED INTERSECTIONS. There is an updated map available and all intersections are clearly marked. This park is now very easy to ride at. This was all done in Septmember 2011 by a lady who has been riding at Middlefork for 30 years. It was her gift to this wonderful park. So come on over and enjoy the ride!!!!

Heart of Dixie Trail Ride, LLC

Camp Rating:

The Heart of Dixie Trail Ride in Troy, Alabama is an excellent horse camping facility. We drive up from Tallahassee, FL. The owners are very helpful and ride through the campgrounds throughout the day to check on the guest. When you check in they give you a packet with trail maps and other information on future rides and events. I’ve been to many horse camping facilities across the United States and Heart of Dixie is right there at the top. Check out their web site. Besides being a great horse camping facility there is volleyball, horseshoes, swimming pool, pavilion, concession and ponds for fishing. It is great for camping (full hook ups) with covered barn stalls and outside paddocks. There are also Primitive Camping spots. The facility has a round pen and arena if you just feel like doing some training. The camping facilities are a “rocks throw” from your horses so you can always keep an eye on them. There are several cabins if you don’t have a LQ’s trailer. The camp grounds are groomed like a park with fire rings, picnic tables and horse ties at each hookup to saddle your horse. There is shade at each hookup site with plenty of room to get your trailer in and out. And trails - tons of well marked color coded trails. Plenty of Southern wildlife to see. The trails range from flat to gentle Appalachian foothills with plenty of small streams to cross. One trail parallels the Conecuh River. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a visit. Happy Trails….

We loved the trails. Comparible to many top trails in TN or KY, very nicely marked. The owner was super friendly and the river was so much fun to ride in. We will definetly be back again. Can't wait to come for some group functions! Very well taken care of and the trails are suitable from beginners to experienced riders. Hope to see you again soon!

The camping facilities are excellent! The horse facilities are also nice. The trails need some work but from what I hear they are working on improving them now.
