Very beautiful area. Nice trails for the horses. Lots of room for camping. Some trails still need tree removal from the storms but pretty easy to get around if needed. Been here twice and will definitely come back again.

Checked this place out for hiking. A trail. Doesn't look like it is maintained. Campsites are without electricity. No water. There are enclosed toilets. Wheelchair accessible.

Campsites are private and offer plenty of room and amenities for campers with horses. Drinking water well was out of service in July 2024. A sign instructed campers to fill water at East Seelye campground where incidentally the well was also closed. $16/night fees. LTE was low but usable on Verizon and T-Mobile in the campground.

Only ever been up here during the fall. Not sure what it's like during the summer but in the fall there's not very many people. Multiple campsites and public outhouses. Beautiful little spot to get away from others.
