Camp Horizon

Great facilities, some of the trails could be better marked, buy a great place to ride and worth the drive. We tried the Ridgeline trail, and it is quite difficult. We are, however, fairly new to the sport, but we are enjoying it.

I have never camped here or been to any of the retreats or other official activities. I have had limited interaction with staff at Camp Horizon but all of my interactions have been positive and pleasant.

I have hiked there many times and it is one of the best places I've ever hiked. There are bluff trails that are physically demanding. All of the trails are visually pleasing. Sunset views from inspiration point are spectacular! You can see miles of the Walnut River Valley and the Arkansas River Valley. You can also hike all the way to the Arkansas River.

One of the most intriguing aspects, apart from the beautiful scenery and wonderful landscape, are the ruins of what was allegedly a scam from back in the mid-20th century when investors were solicited for a concrete plant. There are still ruins or relics if you please down in the river bottom with those concrete structures.

The trails are easily followed, meaning they are clear and you are not likely to get lost. There are also trails for mountain biking, but I have never ridden on them. Wide variety of trees and wildflowers during their appropriate seasons.

Strongly recommend insect repellent during the season, both for ticks and mosquitoes.

Our family came here to watch a proposal...she said yes! While there we were amazed to find a tarantula and scores of wasps. Don't let these hairy friends stop you from visiting though.

Camp Horizon is a beautiful place! I have been here many times for family reunions. My daughter just got back from her first week long camp and loved it. The counselors and staff were so nice to her when she got homesick.

Camp Horizon is a wonderful camp. The staff and counselors are always excited and positive role models for the kids. The cabins are nice and the ground are well kept. There is so much to do while you are there for all ages and interests. I highly recommend Camp Horizon for a summer camp or retreat experience.
