You can tie your horse to the trailer, bring your own pen, or picket them. The campground is by the lake and also has volley ball courts, picnic tables, and you can fish at the lake. The Ranch also has rooms available to rent.

Dogs: Dogs are allowed and can even be off lease so long as they are friendly and don’t cause mischief.

From the Parking Pasture next to the trail head, the white houses are Hy View Ranch.
