All camping is free. Primitive camping, water is available (no hookups, though you may share the water line if your trailer has a shower - please unhook when you are finished). Hot water showers, groovy outhouse, large fire pit and plenty of room for grills if you care to bring one along (please no fires outside the fire pit area). Highline your horses or bring your own corrals. Stall rental available with one layer of shavings. Bring your own if you desire extra. Please provide your own buckets and feed tubs (do not use stall feeders unless you bring antiseptic and sterilize after use to prevent possible spread of disease).
Generators are welcome. This page is for the AOC where you do 8 obstacles in a row and you can join this event by clicking join ride near the top ride of this page but please also sign up for the CTC which will be 6 miles of trails through the beautiful Ozark Hills, shady forest trails, creek side areas, valleys, meadows and mountain trails. Eagles and blue heron are often spotted along the way, whippoorwills sing us to sleep at night and the coyotes keep us awake! It's Sasquatch season, so be mindful about your camping gear and edibles. Due to areas of extremely rocky creek gravel and Arkansas mountain rocks, shoes or boots are highly recommended.
Beautiful ribbons 1st - 6th place for all divisions.
If in doubt because of inclement weather, Call before you haul.: (479) 848-8000
Very detailed directions can be viewed by clicking the DIRECTIONS tab on the Baron Fork website: http://baronfork.com/
Please do not rely on your GPS to arrive at our farm as directions have proven very misleading by the gal in the box - consistently.
Best advise is to go to the website and print out directions from there and keep them with you to access on your way.
