Absolutely the perfect place to bring the family. Miles of trails, beautiful scenery, awesome lake for fishing and swimming and so many beautiful horses! Staff are friendly and constantly taking care of the enormous properties many many amenities. Highly recommended. We look forward to coming back and trying out the horseback riding!

What a wonderful venue for the Wild Creek Entertainers having their 16th annual show featuring not only their entertainment but the headliner music wise was Shenandoah! The show, despite the rain was AAA+! This place, the lake, the woods and everything else at El Rancho Mañana was simply spectacular!

We had a fantastic adventure here! Loved visiting the horses! Hiking the trails! A beautiful space. And Kevin, the owner, went above and beyond to help us with a pretty major dilemma! He’s an angel on earth in my humble opinion. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Great place for camping, both for RVs, Pull behinds and Tents. We got a beautiful site right on the water. Horseback riding was best part of the weekend. Great and clam horses. If you're a beginner I recommend you ask if you can ride Austin. But sadly this weekend was the last weekend till next season.

We went to el rancho manana super last minute. The good: they had plenty of open camps and the neighbors were really quiet even when partying . It was a nice change as I’ve been camping many places in different states. We went horse back riding which was an extremely fun ride. Our guide Emily did a wonderful job with my daughter Isabella who is nine. She was extremely patient as Isabella’s horse was a tad slower then the other horses . She even took a nice photo for our family which I didn’t expect:). We met some people and they were awesome. It’s a great camping ground for families and young children. Negative: the group of guys slinging the F word around at the kids portion of the lake. Don’t be like them they were rude but other then that we had so much fun!. Thank you we will be back again !!.

Beautiful place to horse back ride with lots of trails and plenty of space in the meadow for our horse trailer to park/camp! Lots of rolling hills and views to rival anywhere in MN. Saw some good looking rental horses taking guided groups out. I was surprised there weren't more riders out on a gorgeous weekend. I'm thinking it's one of those hidden jewels. We brought our own horses and were prepared to keep checking the maps so we wouldn't get lost. Lots of trail signs but the maps didn't show many of them so we will be using GPS next time.

We were at this campsite for Minnesota old time bluegrass festival there is so much going on fun stuff. The folks that put this show on, to them I must say bravo you have thought of Everything. Amazing place and ALL the volunteers are very helpful . we had a very nice time. So much talent and so fun to be out amongst fellow music lovers. I can't wait to go back and check out the camping by the lake. Everything everywhere was so warm and cozy. I would recomend to many friends

Had a good time relaxing the 4 day weekend there. Got to observe turkeys, deer, a fox, and I can't forget about the horses. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Horse ride was nice with my kids. Only 4 stars as there isn't a very entertaining playground for the amount of kids that were there, but the beach did keep them occupied during the July heat. I'll be back.
