I really liked this campground! The owners,especially Freda were there and so nice and helpful with everything. The barn is outstanding and she keeps her facility clean and I can see that she is constantly upgrading as if it needs it! The trails are accessed immediately from the barn and you can ride for hours up high. The trails are well marked. You don't need to leave but if you choose to explore Freda will rent her stock trailers so you can access more trails to different portals of thepark that are only a few minute tailer ride. Shge also informs you of what she thinks weather will be like which is helpful as the mountains make their own weather.and by golly she was right, we rode for hours and returned each day right before a cool off storm. I can't say enough and know it is well worth the drive. I plan to go back soon.

NO,TOM COLLINS DOES NOT WORK THERE! HE DOES KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. I WAS INVITED BY TOM&DONNA TO JOIN THEM FOR A WEEKEND RIDE. HE IS RIGHT. THE CAMPBROUND IS AWESOME AND I HAVE GONE BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT BECOMES A SECOND HOME, EVERYONE IS SO WILLING TO HELP ONE ANOTHER AND IT BECOMES LIKE A REUNION OF FRIENDS. SHEILA AND DAN ARE GREAT AND SO HELPFUL. THEY DO RUN A TOP NOTCH RESORT, EVERYTHING IS CLEAN, FIRST CLASS AND YOU CAN'T HELP WANTING TO COME BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLAN ON RIDING FOR HOURS ON A VARIETY OF TRAILS. THE MAPS ARE GREAT AND THE EVERYONE IS WILLING TO ACCOMPANY YOU TO HELP YOU LEARN THE TRAILS. I HOPE SHELIA AND DAN CONSIDER ME AS MUCH AS THEIR FRIENDS AS I FEEL ABOUT THEM. THEIR HOSPITALITY IS OUTSTANDING AND I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO BE INVITED TO THEIR "HOME", MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME. I ALWAYS HATE LEAVING!
