Title: Peace River
Post by: 1500z71 on July 01, 2007, 11:58:21 AM
Hi yall,

Has anyone been to peace river campground before? I'm here right now through July 4th. This place is really nice, plus you can still ride ATV's, and there are some pretty good mud holes. Even better after the nasty rain storm last night.

I didn't know you could ride at that camp ground. Is there a riding area and trails or is it just around the camp area?

There is a speed limit of 5 or 10 mph in the camping area

We use to go out there alot, a few years ago.  But the rules got so strick, especially with the night riding.  They used to let you ride down at the overflow, which was pretty good, but I hear that they stopped that too.  The best was the night rides that we use to take out there, man we use to have a blast.  There use to be a picture of us on their web-site, about 10 of us covered from head-to-toe in black mud.

You must have to ride around thier camp ground at a speed of 9 1/2. On thier website they don't say anything about atvs.

You can ride the ATV's all day till dark(they classify it as when their lights come on)It's around 8:30. Nice trails all over the back of the campground, and some mud and water. There is some sick mud in the back. I buried my 2001 Rancher 4x4 with 28 inch vampires on it. Had to use the entire roll of winch cable to a tree to get me out. I'll try to get some pics when I go back out later. Worth the trip, it's very hot, no wind, but when your riding it's not that bad, or stay in the AC in the camper. They have a pool, and you can also ride in the river with the ATV's, there are some spots where you can cross all the way.

Yea, after the rain today, I sunk it again in a hole, that I easily made it through before. It stalled out in the middle, and was over my seat.
