Not a good horse camp. Majority of the sites are filled up with campers with no horses. Sites 3, 7 & 8 have large sharp rocks in the pens. Occasionally a park person stops by just long enough to throw some TP into the restrooms. There is a constant roar of ATV's that you hear all the time from the campground. The mosquitos are very numerous, only using OFF on my mule kept the mosquitos away. I liked the riding but I won't be going back.

I knew I needed to plan on coping with mosquitoes. I brought bug spray, fly sheet, fly mask, and a camping vehicle with screens on the windows. This camp is near wetlands with mosquitoes. Is there a way to inform potential campers to be prepared for coping with mosquitoes?I'm looking forward to new metal corrals planned for installation over the winter. I observed several camp sites in this horse camp occupied by people without horses or any stock. It seems a better screening process needs to be implemented to make sure those reserving a site for horse camping has horses (or other equines). Possibly requiring a check box for size of the camper's horse trailer? And, or number of stock? Or, both?

It was a great place the only thing I had a complaint about is the camper before me just put their waste on that outside of the stall and didnt take it to the waste area

The camp itself was nice. Though there was not a wheelbarrow available for manure. Definitely bring your own. The noise from the OHVs can be heard constantly all day and late into the night. There were a couple homeless taking up a few spaces (unauthorized and unpaid) as well as a few creepers emerging from the woods into one of our campsites. This is not a camp our group will return to.

It’s a good place to have a quiet week away from the holiday madness. Weather is always mild in the early off season.

Campground was well kept. I didn't realize we booked it on an "ATV takeover" weekend so lots of dune-buggy noise from the other campgrounds nearby but that didn't really bother us. We didn't have horses so I can't speak to that aspect but the bathrooms were clean/stocked, the camp hosts came around twice, and the sites are large enough and spread out that we weren't bothered by our neighbors. The beach is a short walk up the road or I believe accessible by a horse trail that we didn't attempt.

Only real complaint about this place is the mosquitos which were large, persistent, and plentiful. Definitely bring some heavy-duty bug spray and anticipate being swarmed. We stayed in late June. Patchy cell service; drinking water on site. Overall, good experience.

My grandchildren and I had a wonderful experience with plenty of quiet time. The park hosts were friendly and very helpful. I am thankful to have places such as this one to spend time with family outdoors.

Wild Mare is a very peaceful part of the dunes. Due to its proximity to the lake the mosquitoes can be a nuisance, so bring bug spray.

It had been 17 years since I had been back to Wild Mare. Many things have changed in Horsefall Rec area but the area is still beautiful. Wild Mare is quiet and visitors are friendly. I will be making an annual reservation and return yearly.
