We don't have livestock, but this camp is in great shape. And the views are really nice!
We enjoy camping here with our horses so much we try and make a trip every year!
It was gorgeous out here. The views of the surrounding area were awesome, and at night the stars are so clear and close. It's quiet and privet, but not too remote that you can't have a conversation with neighbors if your chose. It's free as well, so if you dont mind a little out of the way (half on dirt roads) it's absolutely worth it.
There is an on site bathroom with the basic port-o-toilet, but no water, so be sure to take lots of your own.
