Pony pasture
3 girls and 2 ponies
Had an amazing stay at Laura and Wayne place. Wayne met me and took me to the Pony Pasture. I followed him because I had a 4 wheel drive. Once at the site got a tour! They have a composting toilet and string lights set up in the 3 sided shed. Introduced to George and Annie the ponies! They also had a fire ring with wood. It rained Friday night and the 3 of us were grateful for the shed to hang out under and stay dry. Laura also came up to feed the ponies 2x a day and made sure we didn't need anything. Highly recommend. Will visit again definitely. We hiked Devils Bathtub and The Channels. Of note make sure you read how to get there. No fault of the host....I just plugged the address link into my phone GPS well I ended up coming in the last few miles on a seriously crazy gravel road! Had I actually read the directions the host provided I would of taken their route and avoided the gravel road.

I loved tent camping in the pony pasture! It had wonderful views and we loved the ponies and other animals nearby. Our host were wonderful helped us navigate to our site and had a nice fire ring and lounge chairs there ready. It had a compost toilet and outdoor shower bag too!

Truly Peaceful! Outdoorsmans dream!
Awesome hosts! Offered transportation to more remote sites. RV was clean and had good amenities. Serene quiet, quick access to river. Hosts offered a ride to the river drop off to float. Few hours float down the river. Dog friendly. Super cute farm animals! You get the full mountain experience here! Even had 4x4 jeep roads. Will be back!
