Cedarville State Forest
Equine Camping Loop

We couldn't have asked for better weather for our Horse Power/Pedal Power Camp Out. Temperatures were mild and the skies were clear for the 10 folks who pitched their tents, campers and horse trailers in Cedarville State Forest.
After a trot around the trails, riders came back to the group area for the evening cookout out and campfire. Everyone enjoyed eating hot dogs, potato salad, chips and an assortment of olives. Cowgirl T's bean dish was especially yummy. Folks hung out by the glowing campfire talking and roasting marshmallows as evening turned to nightfall.
On Sunday morning the group came together again for breakfast with campers contributing some of their own goodies to the ASGRA supplied donuts, trail mix and granola bars. ASGRA President Patrick and campers Michael and Chris got the campfire going again to stave off a bit of the morning chill. These three boys showed their wilderness skills by getting the fire roaring from a few matches and kindling.
As dawn moved into mid-morning, campers saddled up to make their way around the Cedarville trails. It was decided that Sunday's morning ride would cover more trail than Saturday. Riders mapped out a trail between the orange, blue and brown trails to cover a good amount of the Park's 3000 acres.
Coming back early afternoon, campers brushed and watered their horses before breaking camp for the weekend. All had a good time and were definitely in favor of doing it again next year.
Our donations from the weekend allowed us to raise $100 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Google MapsBring your horse or bring your bicycle and camp out at the beautiful Cedarville State Forest. Gather your Posse and let's go riding. The campsites are primitive (no stalls), with some for large horse trailers and smaller sites for bikes and tents. The horse camping loop is rustic but has modem restrooms with hot showers.
Saturday's ride briefing is at 1:00pm (self-guided rides), Then the cookout is served at 7:00pm (Hot dogs, baked beans, chips and soda), followed by a group campfire at dusk. The Sunday ride briefing is at 10am. NOTE: Horseback riders and bikers leave in different directions.
Registration closes when the camping loop is full. Two days of camping, riding and a cookout costs $30 dollars per site and $5 dollars for additional each person in your group. Any proceeds or on-site donations will go the Make a wish Foundation for Children.
