I was at equestrian camping area. The facilities were pretty good. Posts for high lines, fire pits, and hand pump for water. The bathroom was a pit toilet and it looks like the inside could use a fresh coat of paint. This was my first time and road the eastern loop of trails. They were OK. My horses are barefoot and didn't like the rocky trail. The overlooks were underwhelming. I want to go back and check out the other loop and I'm curious what the tunnel is on the map.

We camped at the recreation area for 4 nights and 3 days and unlike reviews we enjoyed the clean campground, open campground, less people, no noise and really good views! We lucked out with a perfect campsite which closed into what looked like a private enclosure. This gave us VIP level experience where we parked our cars to “close” our enclosure and we pretty much just enjoyed inside for the most part. The only downside was a tonne of bugs in August. Now I know the staff itself couldn’t do much but the bugs were incessant. We had campfire going on for the most part which helped a lot but didn’t quite think August would look as rough.

BIG SITES, TREES, PRIVACY. This campground is great because 75% of the sites are big with trees offering shade and privacy. The 1.8 mile trail to the lake is a nice hike through the woods but it does have rocky trails and hills. We had some noisy neighbors and the park staff was very responsive. There are fun things to do within a 30 minute drive. We enjoyed Coffee and Cars at M1 Concourse, Secret Cinema at The Maple Theater, Dixieland Flea Market, exploring Alex’s Gourmet Market, and visiting Epiphany Studio.

Amazing peaceful campground. Looks like each site has lots of room and a great place to camp. Each site only has electric so use the dump station and water to fill up. Bathroom and showers are very clean and extremely hot water which is awesome. Would come more often Bring bug spray
