Stayed at wild mare horse camp august 11-15. It is not a camp that I will be returning to for multiple reasons.
First, there are not a lot of trails to ride on. And what is available is all DEEP sand that the horses have to walk thru that can cause injury. We even spoke to the rangers and asked for help with maps and trails. They even told us there was not many trails, but there was a section that had SOME trails. However, it was 4 miles one way in deep sand to even get to the small section of loops and then you had to come back the same way thru the deep sand.
Second, non horse campers are allowed to stay at the horse camps which makes no sense to me.
Third, there is a resident tweeker who rotates spots in his RV with his dogs and his cats. He harasses campers, called the sheriff because his dogs are aggressive and you were standing by his campsite in the road.
Fourth, people drive in and out of the camp all day. Including those who are not camping there. I am assuming they are looking for an open spot to stay in? Not sure.
Fifth, the mosquitoes were HORRIBLE! got out of the truck and instantly got swarmed by mosquitoes. Us, the dogs, and the horses were covered in bites by the time we left.
Drove 10 hours to get there and was very disappointed. Don’t waste your time here.
