Wrights Lake Equestrian Campground

Wrights Lake Equestrian Campground was beautiful. The host for that campground was very nice as well. We researved our campsite online and had not been there before to know what the best spots are for LQ trailers. There are only a few spots we could fit in and the one we reserved was not one of them :). We did move over a couple spots that did not have a reserved sign and we set up there. We spoke to the camp host the next morning and did get that taken care of. The trails are good and marked somewhat. We did head to Bloodsucker Lake which was very pretty, but the horses really cannot get close to the water as it is pretty marshy. We did ride the next day to try and find Dark Lake. The trail is not well marked, several dead ends. We spent over an hour trying to find a way to the lake. Gave up and then headed back down when we noticed a small trail that is overgrown and decided to take it. That was the trail we were looking for as it would take us to Dark Lake, Beauty Lake etc. It was the Rockbound Trail. Once we found the right trail, it was pretty nice. We only had time to get to Beauty Lake. Same thing, the horses cannot get to the lake for water as it is way to mucky. But all in all the camping and riding was great. I will say this, the road that takes you to Wrights Lake Equestrian Campground is pretty sketchy for a truck and trailer. It literally has a sign as you turn on the 8 mile road that says "trucks/trailers and RV's not recommended." Our LQ is about 30 feet long and had no idea this was not an appropriate road. It is narrow and for about a mile and half, very windy with a shear drop off on one side. Not sure how you need to get the horses to the equestrial campground if you don't take a trailer :) Beautiful area though. Would love to go back if we can get the trailer back up there or a different way in. Just so everyone knows, you have to highline, HiTie or brings panels.

Place was clean and ready. Bathrooms very clean. Only complaint is campers next to us ran their generator all day, but did turn it off by 10 thank goodness. They left the next day, place was quiet and new campers came and were quiet as well. Place is beautiful and worth it. We have been coming here for 22 years!

Our 4 th yr in a row horse camping. We take paddle boards and yacks too. Our favorite place!

It was great. Camp host was very helpful too!

Camp is wonderful and great water pressure. Trails are technical, but we have found some that are not. Kayaking is e Venetian.

The stay was great however poor management Host failed to check reservations for the days listed and accused me of not paying for my reservation and was very confrontational. He drove up to our campsite while we were packing up and asked us if we had stayed the night which we said yes. He said he had saw us the day prior, being August 8. He stated we did not have reservations and asked us how we were going to pay. I said that we did have a reservation but due to the lack of service I was unsure if my emails would load to show him that we indeed did have reservations. He then said he would go check his list, I would like to mention I offered to pay if for whatever reason my reservation was not active, to which he advised “we will see about that”. He pulled off incredibly quickly considering it’s a dirt road which then left a cloud of dirt. Upon his return he speed back down to our campsite and parked right behind our car, as if to block our ability to leave. He opened his car door but did not acknowledge nor say anything to us. I went up to him after a few minutes of him being parked and showed him the reservation, and only then was he able to locate our reservation on his tablet. He did not apologies for the strong accusations he imposed. It was incredibly embarrassing as there was people in near by campsites that were looking over. This situation will definitely make me think twice before booking a site at an establishment serviced by Royal Elks Park Management.
