Very nice park. Some trail are tougher than others depending on bike setup. Very few trails for dirt bikes unless you can manage tree roots. Camp area has rocks and trash receptacles. They do provide restrooms but were closed due to virus so bring backup. There are barbecue pits and picnic tables. It looks like if your bike can not fit through opening of trail you probably won't be able to ride em... Very nice park. Some trail are tougher than others depending on bike setup.

Very nice and well kept campground. Trails are fun. Pick your trails from Easy riding to tight technical single track. But all are very rideable.

Very nice and well kept. Anything bigger than 50 inches don't even try it. Great for dirt bikes

2023: Stayed for two nights and rode all 70 miles of trails. We enjoyed the North Loop the most, but Boy Scout and Woodworth were also good. Plenty of roots and trees to go around (or over); only a handful of ruts. The turns are not well marked, but all trails have some sort of marking (orange diamonds, orange circles, blue diamonds, etc) -- if you don't see one in a half mile, maybe go back and s... 2023: Stayed for two nights and rode all 70 miles of trails. We enjoyed the North Loop the most, but Boy Scout and Woodworth were also good. Plenty of roots and trees to go around (or over); only a handful of ruts. The turns are not well marked, but all trails have some sort of marking (orange diamonds, orange circles, blue diamonds, etc) -- if you don't see one in a half mile, maybe go back and see if you missed the turn. The maps are a bit dated; actual trail does not exactly follow the map, and some loops/bypasses are no longer maintained. Saw mostly dirt bikes, a side-by-side, a couple four wheelers, and three horses. No electricity or water. Vault toilets were clean and trash receptacles empty. Has a dump station, but it's on a slight incline...so hard to empty if your sewer hose is on the rear/driver side. 2021: Nice campground. RV friendly. Unfortunately it rained all night the first night, so they closed the trails and we couldn't ride at all. Had to load back up and go to Lotus Camp in Kisatchie instead. Will try again, but not without paying close attention to the weather.
