Don’t have a Camper or Living Quarter? We’ve got you covered! We have lodging available to rent. Many different options to choose from. There is the Marshal Suite in the main building, and the tucked-in-the-woods Miner’s Shack Cabin. We also offer the unique experience of sleeping in covered wagons – but with some creature comforts of home (beds!!).

If you are in need of horse facilities, we have two large barns with a total of 67 stalls, each with 2 bucket hooks for your water and feed, a saddle rack and a bridle hook. We have a few extra large stalls, as well as two large horse wash areas, and a large 60′ round pen.

True West also offers parking and the use of the common area to those just passing through for the day and needing access to the trails.

If you have never ridden the horse trails in the Big South Fork, you are missing out. All the trails are clearly marked and easy to follow; just look for the red blaze or signage. The trails are very well maintained and vary in both length and degree of difficulty. Some are short, easy day rides; others are strenuous loops that may take several days to complete when ridden in their entirety. Access to the Big South Fork Trails is just one trail mile away. Ride along a private, well maintained trail, just one mile long, and access the Cumberland Valley Trail Head. The most centrally located Trail Head in Big South Fork. Or, you can head out back to Salt Pine and Yellow Face if you are looking for more challenging trails. The trails near True West campground invite you and your horse to kick up your heels and enjoy a good canter, fast gait, or leisurely pace.

Saddle up your horse and ride into the Big South fork right from our barn!!! All horses must be kept in a stall. The horse barns accommodate your horse safely. Our barn has an 18 foot hallway for ease in tacking up your horse for that great trail ride. There are 67 stalls (10×10), and outside wash areas. There are several stud stalls available.

Guests should provide their own feed, hay, and water buckets. Each stall has two bucket hooks. A bridle holder and saddle rack are mounted on the front of each stall.

Tack can be kept in the barn by your stall or at your site. We do not have tie-outs, nor do we have areas for portable electric pens.

True West Barn

Stalls are bedded with sawdust upon your arrival. If you need additional shavings during your stay, they are available for free. Guests are responsible for cleaning their stalls, and stripping them when they leave. Forks and carts are provided. Stall cleaning service is available for a small fee. See our rates page for details.

Round pen

We have two (2) wash stations for your horses. You can hose them off when you return from the trail or cool them down. There is also 60-foot round pen available to exercise your horse for short periods.

We usually have hay for sale, but check first.
