All I can say is, W O W!! We love, love, love this campground! We have been hanging our hats at another campground in Big South Fork for 6 years. It was time to explore some other places. I am SO thankful that we picked True West!! From the moment we arrived we were treated like we were guests on vacation! We unloaded the horses and got them settled and when we got back to the trailer it was all cleaned out for us! Yay, one less thing for us to do :) and VERY much appreciated. Then Shawn graciously helped my hubby get the trailer backed into its spot while I checked out the campground with our kiddo's. All the campsites are extremely level and clean. I love the fire pits....instead of an old rim, they have big rocks...it's very rustic :). The barn is immaculate and Donna, Shawn, and John check on the horses several times a day and always do a bedtime check (usually around 11 or 12 at night) before turning in. It made me feel soooo at ease. The trails are amazing, and though we didn't make it out to some of the more popular spots (our kids are 6 and 8 and we ride slow-poke quarter horses!), what we did see was gorgeous. The kids loved exploring the caves and the river is absolutely beautiful! Trail maps were great, and the trails are very well marked. We do carry a GPS with us though, just in case. Donna was so sweet to our boys. She let them play with her dogs and cats brought out games for them to play....she really took them under her wing. And she is a GREAT story teller :) We had a great time and made lots of fun memories.....checking our calendars now to see when we can go back :) This is a DO NOT MISS campground in BSF!!
