Horses, & crayfish, & trains oh my!
We had a great time staying at Millbrook Trail rides. Getting to see and interact with the horses was very cool. They came running past our tents the first night and didn’t seem to mind our presence. The creek right at the campsite is beautiful and we had a fun time watching the minnows, crawfish, and other wildlife. During the trip, the train came past a handful of times (at varying times). It was very loud, but didn’t wake anyone up during the night. The bathroom is located in one of the barns and is a bit of a walk away from the tent site, which wasn’t expected. However, the bathroom was very clean.

Eventful and adventurous camping
Arrived at the campsite after sunset. Had a small adventure finding the campsite on the property and setting up our tent. A herd of horses ran across the wooden bridge next our campsite as we were having our dinner. They would be back to graze next to our tent early in the morning. Woke up in the middle of the night with the ground shaking and a freight train passing overhead above our campsite. Walked around the property in the morning, at one point through the group of horses, quite a lovely piece of land. Secluded camping, with a stream close by. It was an eventful night but I think we enjoyed ourselves.

Wonderful stay
My children were very excited because they could meet not only horses but also many other animals such as chickens and cats. The camping site is clean and private. Highly recommend!

Beautiful stay
Really beautiful camping site and the horses roaming free around you is a pretty surreal experience! Unfortunately the water well was not working during my stay, so just a helpful tip to bring extra water just in case!!

Unique Campsite
The camp site is neat, it sits next to a small stream and sits in front of an active railroad bridge. We were sad that we did not see the horses while camping but we arrived late and they were likely resting. The train passed by once during our stay and it was incredibly loud, it may scare children or people with sound sensitivities. I thought it was a really cool experience to hear/feel the train pass by. This was a one of the more unique spots we stopped at during our cross-country roadtrip.
