BIPOC and LGBTQ+ friendly property! Country setting, yet, so close to the cities. See a lightning bug show and star gaze all night while listening to the bull frogs sing you to sleep. Expect to meet the host when you first arrive and sign a liability waiver to be near horses and hear about the safety rules of the property. From there explore the 10 acre ranch to pick your perfect camping site! After setting up camp, take a friendly nature walk around the property, wave hi to the herd, bird watch, build a camp fire in the pit and make s'mores, play giant connect 4, sack races, and other games! Property is hilly, though we can make accommodations for a wheelchair accessible sight. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES (not included through HipCamp booking) Want to experience the healing power of horses? Sign up for an individual or family Equine Facilitated Learning session, Onward, with the HERD certified host. We also have a hands on horse learning program, Horses 101, and a reading program, The Reading Corner, where youth can read to horses in a judgement free space! (All programs additional cost, must sign up through website- Google search Magnolia Stables & book for the same day you'll be camping). We do not offer horseback riding at this time. *We strongly encourage a minimum age of 5 years old but babies in arms are just fine. We say this because of access to horses, electric fence, and deep pond, as well as road on two corners of the property. Safety is our name, healing with horses is our game! Can't wait to have you experience this judgement free, non-intimidating nature, camping space!
