I'm hesitant to even review this place -- it's a secret gem!! Camping at Boggs Mountain…read moreDemonstration State Forest was the best camping and mountain biking experience we've had to date in California.We're even thinking about becoming members. The single track trails are well marked and very well kept. They are pretty smooth, and we didn't see any signs of erosion. We liked the variety of trails* -- a couple green circles, at least 10 blues, a couple black diamonds (we went on one and did not find it very technical) and even a double black diamond. You'll do plenty of climbing, but what goes up must come down, and there's a lot of it -- winding through trees, with switchbacks and some fun jumps. Make sure you carry a map, but if you don't, there is very little chance you'll get lost. (*I think it's a great place to practice riding with your new clipless pedals. I felt comfortable on the easier trails, and if you do fall, it's usually a pretty soft landing. I stayed un-clipped for the black diamonds just to be safe.) The $10/night campsites are extremely clean, and super roomy -- a great place for group camping. There are fire rings and convenient picnic benches at each site. There was only one pit toilet that we could find, but it never posed a problem for us. Campers respect the 11pm - 7am quiet hours. The only semi-bummer is the lack of potable water, so remember to bring plenty. There is a little market store 5 minutes away if you forget, or need more. Dogs are allowed, and are supposed to be on leash, although no one seems to mind if they are well-behaved off-leash. On a trail, however, I recommend you leash your dog as there are plenty of mountain bikers and horseback riders that will cross your path. ATV's and dirt bikes are not allowed, which keeps the park really quiet. All in all, we love this place!

We had a great time at Gualala River Redwood Park over the weekend. This was my first time camping…read moreand I was glad we got to experience that at this camp ground. The park was beautiful surrounded by redwoods and ferns everywhere. The camp grounds around the river felt a little crowded because they were right next to each other, however the space we had was nice because it was further away and had more space for our large group of 25 people. We didn't have the river view, but it had it's on bathroom and sink which was very helpful. The campground was also nice because they had a cute coffee shop, store for souvenirs and camping needs, showers, bathrooms, and a playground for kids. Overall, we had a lot of fun and the dogs loved it as well!

We reserved the river side campground and were pleased with the views. The on-site store is not a walk-in. It's someone at the counter and you point what you want to buy. 8 pounds of ice is $5. They have a coffee truck available only in the mornings. Bathrooms and showers are clean. There's a coin machine by the store to get quarters for shower usage. I recommend this campsite. It is unique and majestic.

The last time fishing Clear Lake was over 25 years ago when I had a boat, which I gave away a few years ago. Mark knew all the spots that held bass. We boated about 30 fish, and both Ryan and I caught at least 10 each. The only slight downer was none of the fish were over 5 pounds so we want to go back in the spring to get the big ones.

I've been fishing Clearlake in March for over 12 years and never had a better trip. Mark has only just started guideing fishermen since he retired from the Calif. Highway Patrol but he has been fishing in pro tournaments for twenty years and his knowledge of the lake shows it. I look forward to using him in Lake Berryessa and Lake Sonoma later this year. Thanks Mark

Adjacent tree stands tall with a hallow base. Plenty of room to walk in. Brighter than other sites that are heavily shaded. Disturbingly, several trees lean or have fallen.

On a positive note, bundle wood are steadily priced at ten dollars.

Excellent hay quality, water is kept clean for the horses, and all stalls and paddocks ample & kept clean. Very low incidence of equine colic. All fencing is kept maintained and in good condition.

The owners really DO care about their facility and the care of the horses. Also, they have regular educational clinics in dressage, general horsemanship, cowboy dressage and etc. They encourage learning and are most supportive of their clientele. Worth it!

She dives deep into the fundamentals of riding, even introducing off-the-horse work that focuses on the rider's strength, balance, and body awareness. What I also love about her teaching style is that she doesn't just tell you what to do, but also takes the time to explain how to do it and why it matters which really helps you understand each element of riding. Above all, she genuinely cares about the horses and always puts their well-being at the center of every lesson.
