The directions on Google maps were sort of correct and the directions from the website were also sort of correct. We were able to puzzle it out without making any wrong turns or having to back-up and start over.
It is paved all the way into the campground.
You take Hwy 63 to Billy Creek Road, make a left and then keep going.
If you have reserved a creek-side campsite, those campsites are on the left.
I had reserved a creek side campsite which meant our camp site backed onto the creek. There was a lovely metal bench and fire pit next to the creek. It was a bit slanted, so we pulled out our camp chairs to sit by the fire. It was lovely.
The horses had 10' x 10' pipe corrals. They were pretty happy.
We had electric and water hook-up. There is no RV dump at this campground, so we had stopped at the RV dump at Cedar Lake before we headed here. Our Winegard worked best on the Winegard SIM card.
It's the beginning of November and I always deworm the horses at the beginning of the month.

The trails were marked with trail tape - these are different color streamers that can be tied to tree branches.
We would lose the trail, but we usually found our way back by searching for the trail tape.
We are riding in national forest and the US Forestry service has a policy against signage on the trails. The trail tape is a compromise as it keeps equestrians out of areas and it can be easily removed. It doesn't damage the environment or the trees.

The trails were a bit rocky, but not too bad. We rode barefoot the first two days, but on the third day we opted to put boots on the horses as we wanted to ride the Vista Trail which was allegedly more rocky.
We are riding in an area that boasts the most Big Foot sightings in the entire world. No signs of Sasquatch, though.
It rained heavily the night before we left, but we were able to get our corrals pretty clean for the next camper.
