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 6-7 miles of riding trails, fishing ponds, and a rental cabin. Campers are welcome to bring their own step-in post / temporary pens and set them up as long as they have some type of charger attached and working on the pens.  If you have regular panels to set up you are welcome to use them also. 

Safety for our guests and their horses is our number one priority. 

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 very happy to be an ETS host!

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.******

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.
