I started taking riding lessons with DaNae in late summer 2024 and I am so genuinely pleased with…read moremy experience so far. I went to Los Lagos as a beginner rider. I'll admit, it's pretty daunting to pick up riding as an adult. It's *a lot* to learn! But I appreciate and love how DaNae motivates and challenges me each time I'm there. The facility is so beautiful and it's a huge perk to have a covered arena! And if we can't ride on rare occasions, we've got educational lessons. Everyone I've met at the facility has been welcoming. And I've also been really lucky to take my lessons with a great group of girls. I recently heard that DaNae purchased the property and it's so clear that she's putting so much love into the space. I can only anticipate positive changes ahead. Looking forward to continuing my riding lessons and can't wait to see how much I'll learn in time. Who knows...maybe I'll have a horse of my own and board it at Los Lagos someday!

When you come in, you can bypass the line to get in and just drive through the cars because they already have the parking included in the ride. We did a 1 hour ride at first and the horses are super fun and nice. The workers are super friendly and they are very knowledgeable. The second time we booked a 2hr session and we learned how to groom and saddle the horse for an hour and then the second hour we rode around the ranch. It is really pretty during sunset. Highly recommend this place! I would definitely come back again. Also, 1hr rides are free for military/veterans. But don't forget to tip!

We had a couple of scary incidents on the ride (not anyone's fault) a drone flew over and scared the horse but they remained very safe during. I felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend coming for a ride. The farm also has quite a few other animals that you can enjoy like cows, llamas, goats etc. Thank you Trail Brothers.

My daughter has been taking horse lessons from Saddle Up Sactown for since she was four years old!!…read moreShe has learned so much at a very age appropriate level. Becca and Keith have been exceptional at building her confidence and teaching her how to ride, take care of a horse, tack a horse and even coach a mindful piece of managing your emotions around the horses. Our experience with them has been nothing short of amazing. Second to that, we have participated in their horse camp every summer and it is such a JOY for my daughter. She looks forward to summers with the horses, the craft, fun and unforgettable memories. If you are looking for a place/horse trainer/coach this is 100% the place and we highly recommend it!

The trainer who worked with us, Amy, is incredibly patient and kind. Her teaching style is so thorough and clear. She and the other trainers stress horsemanship -- you learn how to get your horse, tack them up, and you learn about the anatomy of the horse and so much more. It's not just a lesson where you jump on an already tacked up horse, ride, and go home. You truly get the full experience and the goal is to prepare you for a day when you might own your very own horse. The barn has a very welcoming and relaxed feel, everyone is so kind and wonderful. The lesson horses are also great! Whether you're an adult looking for lessons or you have kids who want to take lessons, I would definitely recommend checking out this place and trying it out. It's also amazing that they have access to Folsom Lake trails.

So my husband (age 57) and I (age 58) got started with Amber at Cornerstone Training at Royal Oak Farms in Granite Bay. During our weekly lessons Amber taught us everything about horses; how to groom, how to saddle, how to mount & dismount, how to post a trot, and how to canter. She went at exactly the right pace of learning for us. Amber introduced us to new goals each week, including intro to dressage and trotting over low barriers. Amber is fun, her training horses are sweet, and the equestrian center is well groomed.

Very disappointed in this facility. Home of the 20 minutes lesson and little accountability. My…read moredaughter took lessons for one year and I have many issues with this place. I tried to be patient because the owners are very nice, but at the end of the day I wasted a lot of money and wasted a year of lessons for my daughter. I paid for an hour lesson and sometimes my daughter would be on a horse for 20 minutes!!! when I called the owner on it, she told me it wasn't quantity but quality that mattered. I happened to disagree, if I am paying for an hour lesson, I expect my child to be on a horse for an hour. She also got very little guidance in grooming and tacking, had to do it mostly on her own, which didn't help with her confidence in the process. Finally, they have very few riding horses and kept her on their Welsh pony Molly for a year. Now that she is at a professional riding facility, she is very unprepared to ride a real horse and has to start as a beginner due to her lack of confidence. I have also found myself alone, with no adult nor responsible person on the facility and two children waiting for a lesson. The owners are very laid back and do not seem to get involved with their students personally, they are more interested in their own performances but happy to send you an invoice that they may not be able to honor. I do not recommend this facility, it was a waste of time and money for our family.

What a hidden gem! Would come again!…read more We camped for 3 nights and loved this camp site. Clean, spacious, close access to walking trails, and lake. There are hot showers (coin operated), clean bathrooms, tent and RV sites, water faucets. Showers are coin operated, bring quarters! $0.50 for 4 minutes, and $0.25 per 2 minutes thereafter. We stayed at 1 of the 2 glamping sites, with a 2 bed/ 4 person tent already set up. All sites have a max capacity of 8 ppl, or 2 cars. Cooking- fire pit. But check the website as some days are "no fire", you can bring a propane stove. Good cell phone reception. Kids and dogs friendly :)

Attention Yelp moderators: This is NOT the same campground as the Peninsula Campground near Rollins…read moreLake. That is a far away, completely unrelated, privately owned campground. This is also NOT the same as Beals Point, which is a DIFFERENT campground over an hour away. This campground is one of three campgrounds owned and operated by Folsom SRA. (The others are Black Miners Bar in Folsom and Beals Point in Granite Bay.) The campground is HUGE, with well over 100 spaces. They normally have a lot more availability than the other Folsom campgrounds. It's about an hour away from Folsom, at the end of Rattlesnake Bar Road, which is at the end of Salmon Falls Road. In order to get to the campground, you have to drive down an 8 mile rustic, narrow road. Be forewarned that some people speed down this road with huge trucks and boats. There are two boat launch ramps at Peninsula. One is in the day use area, and the other is in the campground area, for campers only. Campsites 70-100 are closest to the boat dock and mooring area. Sites 1-40 are quieter and further away from the lake. Before booking a site, I would highly recommend doing a drive through if possible. I stayed at several different sites, and they are all very unique in their own ways. Some are isolated under trees up on a hill, some are crowded near the shore. Some have stone fire pits, and some don't. Oaks Nature Trail runs entirely inside of the campground, and can't be accessed from anywhere else. Darrington Trail runs about 8 miles from the campground to Salmon Falls Road. The staff will usually recommend making reservations online, which you can do if you're at least two days out. Peninsula is great because, if they still have spots available, they'll sell them to you, even if they're blocked out online. When in doubt, check with the staff. It's too hot for me to camp here in summer, but it is a really nice campground, and the fees are not too bad, especially if you have an access pass.
