    Charming Place to camp and ride.  Ability to ride all different types of terrain.  Falling stars, bugleling Elk, howling wolves every night. Fabulous hosts who take care of you and your trailer when you pull in after a long vehicle ride. Comfy, clean stalls for horses. Full hook up. Bathrooms/showers are charming, and very clean.  Close to all the main attractions. Trailer available to rent to haul to any trail head not accessible from camp. We thoughly enjoyed our stay.

    I cannot say enough about this place! The owners Sheri and Dave were amazing! They are very kind and made us feel like we were at home. The barn is beautiful and very clean. They have a bath house which was also very useful. They invited us down to a little bonfire in their pavilion so it was nice to socialize and meet, what I feel like will be,  lifelong friends. Dave also adjusted our horses after our long ride to Mt Rushmore and he did a great job, they loved it!

    Had a great experience this weekend riding the hills. Staff is friendly and really helpful, owner was really nice as well. Forest Service trail access is right off the property. Barn is nice and clean, covered and cool. Hay and tack can be hung right outside the stall. Easy access to feed, water, manure forks and dump trailer. Staff assist bringing in supplies from trailer when arriving. Round pen available for use. They are still adding other camping amenities but what they do have is really nice and accommodating.
