The trails are really nice, Friday after setting up camp we rode to a restaurant, had lunch and rode back to camp. Trailside, (aka Buck's Place) mostly serves the trail riders (horses in the summer, snowmobilers in the winter).
Horse Butts
Horse Heads (Dakota is all the way down on the end)
The campground has standing stalls for horses with water spickets right by the stalls. There is sand for the bedding. The expectation is you will clean out your standing stall at the end of your stay, putting the manure in their manure pit, and replenish the sand you took out. Rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows and sand are all supplied for free. The people campsites have flat areas for tents, a few have enough space to pull a trailer into, most people park on the edge of the drive-through area and there are fire pits with grills. There is no electricity, but there is running water and flush toilets, there are also some porta-potties available closer to the camping area if you don't feel like making the short hike to the flush toilets in the middle of the night.
On the road between here and there, there's a large wind farm. I have never seen so many windmills. There were hundreds of them. Whenever I thought we'd passed the last ones we'd go around a corner or over a hill and there would be more. It was kind of creepy since it was such a cloudy day and came out of no where.

i miss horse camping SO MUCH! lately i have had the itch. i'm sure moving to arkansas, where it is rural, won't help. i will own horses again one day, i am sure of it. maybe we can meet up and horse camp. :) we had some good times doing that. i miss those days a little sometimes.
p.s. today i bought goat cheese at the farmer's market and thought of you. i think my friend dustin and i are going to go take a tour and try to learn a little about cheesemaking. we want to live in a caboose one day and have chickens and goats and cows and a little organic farm, so we'd better know something about how to make cheese! :)
