About The Venue

McMillan Farms has been developed into a retreat with a small full hook-up campground, (7 full hook-up sites), 4 electric-only sites, and unlimited primitive sites. Generators are welcome in the primitive camping area. We have a new bathhouse, and a pavilion for visitors to use. We also have approximately 5-7 miles of riding trails, fishing ponds, and a rental cabin.

Our farm - retreat is a work in progress. We have previously hosted several obstacle challenges here, extreme cowboy races, and other fun equine events. We host Scrabble rides, Horseback Scavenger Hunts, and Horseback Easter Egg Hunts. Everything we do here is meant to get families outside together doing fun things and enjoying each other. Whether it is fishing, camping, horseback riding, hiking, picnicking, picking berries, or just relaxing in the beautiful out of doors.

We are installing more electric hook up campsites, some covered stalls, and a few primitive cabins for people to stay in right near the new bathhouse this winter.    We are very excited to become a host for ETS!

ALL OF OUR CAMPSITES ARE BACK-IN SITES. We are here to help you if you are not so good at backing in. We are very experienced at backing trucks & trailers. Don't be afraid to ask for help!

We have plenty of parking room for trucks and trailers.

Day riders are welcome for a small ranch fee. (unless there is an ETS event scheduled)

PLEASE NOTE*** All camping and overnight stall fees will be collected at registration.****** We accept checks or cash only at this time.

Event Details

Trail Challenge (TC) – a relaxing trail ride with judged obstacles along the trail and possibly in camp. All riding disciplines are welcome.

The Terrain

The farm's trails are wide and grassy, and easy to navigate. They are marked clearly with trail signage, and "exit" signs to help you find your way back to the parking area should you get a lil turned around.(Our farm is completely fenced on the outer perimeter, so no rider will be able to inadvertently go off the farm while riding here.)

The only gravel/stones or rocks that anyone would encounter are in the driveway or in parking areas. There are wide grassy edges for tender-footed barefoot horses to avoid the gravel.

For breakfast, we will have doughnuts, pastries, and snacks on the pavilion.
