Good to know
FEE CONFLICT : older official park descriptions state the equestrian fee is $15/night/site, while IDNR's Class A campground rate is $20/site (holiday weekends $30). The current IDNR park page confirms the campground (25 sites, electric, hitching posts, water access, open May 1-Oct 31, campers must have horses) but does not state the equestrian fee - call the visitor center to confirm. Day use of the horse trail is free.
