Trails End Camp Ground vs. Brimstone Recreation

What is going on here. I thought Trails End Camp Ground was at the base of Brimstone? Is Trails End creating their own park? Was there some sort of falling out with Trails End and Brimstone?

There was a little falling out, trails end has the store and campground on down in the park where most camping is, they also have several cabins. They are very friendly to deal with plus give us a discount for staying there. You can't go wrong staying with Trails end

So are they steering people from Brimstone? Isn't that the draw? I'm not taking either side I'm just confused. We've stayed at trails end a few years ago and were pleased. Its really convenient to Brimstone with all the trails right out the front door of the cabin. Chipper did I read where you got a nuvi 500 for dan's maps. How do you like it?

I love it. I had a garmin 60csx and wished I kept it and put the maps on it but i didn't. The wife and i ride that area alot and mostly everything is mapped, I went on a trail or 2 over the weekend with highlander guiding that wasn't on the maps but... what do you expect when you're being guided by a feller with brimstone as a back yard as growing up.

As far as them steering people away from Brimstone only they can answer that. It does appear that it could be the case but I have a yearly pass there and have zero intentions of not having the same next year. I'll just say that they are a great family to camp with and Brimstone is a great place to ride.

Chipper what gps you use now with maps?

nuvi 500

you Guys talking about the pickett maps

It would be awesome if Brimstone gets new more trails

I ride a atv is it waterproof?

Trails end is a great place to stay. You can't beat them as far as hospitality. They are located at the base of the Brimstone Trails. So I would say you can't go wrong with staying at Trails End Camp Ground and getting a Brimstone permit and riding.

However, be sure to tell Trails end you are a southern SxS Rider and get a discount. They may even take you on an off park ride.

they are doing one sat. and hot dog cooking all free where we rode this past sunday off park its a thank you ride

The co owner of brimstone started the new campground. Trails end if a great place to stay and I will be there a bunch next year. But the brimstone office is no longer booking the sites for trails end. The owners of trails end are great people and are having a big ride this weekend. Its a great ride. We rode with them on sun to do a pre ride . Well worth the trip. And no brimstone pass needed. They are also going to build a race track for sxs soon.

Guys,

The brimestone office is just no longer doing reservatios for trails end. Trailsend is just doing their own reservations. They are not steering anyone away from brimestone. It is a great place to ride. Trailsend does sell the twra permits to ride all of the twra land that adjoins brimestone. They do not sell the Brimstone permit that has to be purschased at the brimstone office.

Hey guys,
Trails End is in no way trying to do any harm to Brimstone. We are not trying to steer people away. Wouldnt be very smart of us to do that since Brimstone is the trail system. Trails End is however doing our own reservations and check ins now and we have some plans of our own in the future. We believe that anything we do here could only benefit Brimstone as well as Trails End. The goal is to bring people in to see what a beautiful place and awesome riding we have so if we add a few perks to that it could only help us as well as Brimstone and give you guys even more to enjoy. Trails End has TWRA permits available for sale and TWRA just adds to the enjoyment with the trails they provide. So to set the record straight... There is no Trails End vs. Brimstone situation from our stand point.We hope that everyone enjoys Brimstone and continues to visit us at Trails End.

Thanks for clearing that up TE.

So who going to Brimstone this weekend

I am going to do the Trails End Appreciation ride on saturaday it starts at 10:00 a.m.

Sounds like Trails End campground cleared this up a year and a half ago. Would be nice if Brimstone handled this in a professional manner also.

well it looks like Trails End refuses to go down into the sewers like brimstone. but a rat is a rat!!! keep up the support for Trails End

that has nothing to do with what has happened now. if everyone would be patient when brimstone can put out a statement they will and are and will clear everything up of why it had to happen this way.

what ever they say is going to be worded for damage control. i wish tjey would hurry up and tell tjeir lies so the truth could come out in court that is where this is heading and this post did have something to do with fhe decision .

this was just a straw in the pile, not the straw that broke the camels back.

Well just when do you expect them to do this, they have ducked several news reporters willing to tell their version of the story. Regardless of whatever they say, using their ride passes as leverage to run someone out of business is low and dirty. As you can see by the huge numbers of people hating on them and the non exsistant list of people who agree with what they are doing. You wont make friends here either Kerry by taking their side, Brimestone is not well thought of in much of the SXS community these days, i cant wait to hear the bull shit spin they try to get people to buy,

i know for a fact brimstone has stopped and called people before and during the events and told them that trailsend was out of bbusiness or was not opening their fields but they had room for them. it happen to some people on this forum. so nelieve they are good at wording something to suit them. they have even accused me of something that is a flat out lie. but if you choose to believe them that is your choice

oh yeh none of the people on their approved list knew there was a list nor were they asked if they wanted on the list. so how is that for an honest business owner.
