Beautiful campground! Very tidy and quiet. There is currently no drinking water available so come prepared!
It was nearby, the latrines were quite clean, and there was plenty of space. It's also dog friendly, and open year round. Very good campground.
I am an equestrian and have camped at Dru Barner many times and enjoyed its beauty. However, this time I was sorely disappointed with all the non equestrian campers using camp sites set up for horses with the pipe corrals and larger parking spaces for trailers when there were perfectly beautiful camp sites for non equestrian campers. They are using the pipe corrals to hang their hammocks in or set up their tents in! Also, extremely sad to see all the trash and abandoned vehicles along the trails and even a very large trashed rv in camp. I'm not sure if this is covid related or just a sign of our country falling apart, bit something needs to be done!
