Very unprofessional management. Rude. Owners LARGE dogs running around chased horses as we left camp! Dogs came into our " hotel" and caused lots of issues. The " Hilton" was dirty and trash still left in rooms and facility. One cabin we rented had mice and spiders! Overall the facilities were very poorly maintained. The " store" was dirty and had VERY LITTLE. The owner Charged for a paper map that wasn't even close to being accurate! And charged to hose your horse off!
Will not recommend!!!!
Went to high knob for the week, We have gone once before and loved it, the shawnee national forest is amazingly beautiful. We've heard lots of people do not like the owner (JoJo) But we all agree she is misunderstood, stating she deals with 100's of people a week (some not as smart as others) She talks very clearly, calmly, and VERY descriptive. We honestly didn't understand her much until we really listened. This woman is one of the kindest I've met, she loves her animals, campground, and campers. She got several calls and even personal visits while we were in the office and it is SO understandable why she is the way she is! She does not want to repeat herself, therefore is very clear and can seem rude but is most certainly not!! We would like people to be more open and understanding towards her! we love her, and will be coming back as often as possible. The campground is amazing, stalls, trails and all. We rode to a lot of destinations. We also had the trail dog "sissy" attend our camp, this will be the second time we have come, and she has chosen us each time :) Sissy however is older, and we love her to death! She may have gotten a few treats ;) Thank you high knob campground for an absolutely wonderful experience, environment and so on. We will always come back, 100000% recommend this camoground!
Awesome place to see the best of Shawnee! Campground owner, JoJo helped me find the trails I wanted to see. She even took the time to draw me a map! Camp has water and electric and nice size covered stalls. Some sites have a high line and pens you can have next to your trailer. Short ride to see huge bluffs. Don’t miss riding out of camp to see: Rice hollow, tee pee, knights of the golden circle, buzzards roost, dead horse canyon, sand cave, and garden of the gods to name a few. Best riding direct out of camp. Rocky, horses need shoes all around. Best time to see everything is when the leaves are not on the trees!
Great stay at High Knob. Beautiful cabins, great riding. Our host JoJo was great. Follow the rules and you’ll have no problems. No washing horses at your site, but nice wash stalls available for quarters, worth it. Covered stalls, some people did not clean up after their horses too well. We got rain and the stalls filled with water. But it’s a horse camp we were glad to have the stalls. Best riding in Shawnee.
There are very good trails to ride from this area. Stop and get one of Jojo's maps. Shawnee trail markers at times are confusing, if any at all. Ride the Garden of The God's Trail and pack a lunch.
They are very helpful at the office. Jo's daughter goes above and beyond! Thank you.
Most of the permanent campers are a pleasure to hang with and can offer good advice and fun times.
There are some sites with no shade for you or your animals.
We always go back at least once a year.
