Only place I have been to where the owner will come down in a tractor or a bull dozer to pull you out of a hole. He does it with a smile and doesn't expect any money for the service. He just wants everyone to have a good time.
Camped and rode this weekend this place is fantastic!!!Best time we have ever had love Big John and his wife even though there must have been over 300 people we seen never ran out of places to ride shaded areas open spaces just loved it will go back again soon.
Do not let the rain stop you!! We went and it rained the whole weekend but the mud was great and it had water coming in from all over.Great restrooms and showers with Hot water.Denny, the owner is also very friendly and helpful
