Little Lasier Meadows Campground

We love to camp here several times a year and were greatly disappointed to arrive at the horse campground with our horses on Oct 3rd and find it filled with hunters and ATVs. The sign at the entrance to the camp said no ATVs ? The kids with the hunters were shooting their BB rifles by my horse’s coral, scaring and endangering my horse. They started their Generators and ATVs up at 5 AM every morning. How can we enjoy our horse rides in fear of getting shot ?? Many of the hunters said they come here every year. There were also bikes on the PCT trail. It’s just not right. I understand we may have to share the campsites with non-horseman but hunters driving ATVs in the camp is unacceptable in a horse camp facility. How can we stop this from happening again ? I never saw any forest service people and nothing about this on the website to warn us

This is an excellent horse camp. There are corrals at almost all sites. They are of decent size with the older ones being larger (near spot 8). The garbage is close to most of the sites making it very easy to clean up. Having the water pump centrally located in camp is a plus. More signage to help people new to the camp locate the water pump would be helpful. It is not easily viewed from the more distant camps and looks like it is part of site 8. The only downside for this camp was the number of non-horse campers occupying premium sites with OHV set ups. The ranger, Jerry, visited us in the camp and when we mentioned it he said it was just fine and they did it to be close to the roads. While it may seem like an ok thing the fact is that both of these camps (sites 11 and 1) groups could have camped at any of the other nearby campgrounds while horse campers on the other hand cannot. Horse campgrounds are not readily available and when they are blocked by non-equestrians it restricts this user group further. There needs to be great signage posted discouraging non-equestrians from using these campgrounds with education about shared space and the limited amount of space available for horse camping. Making the statement of how many horses a requirement to make reservations would help. That way at least equestrians would have priority. Otherwise this is a very nice and well maintained horse camp.

Great campground, well-taken care of, beautiful location with easy access to PCT but without the noise of the more developed campgrounds adjacent to the reservoir.

We had an excellent stay at the Lasier Meadows Horse Camp, 8/17-8/19/2023. Corrals are nicely built, fresh water available & restrooms are clean. We are thankful for such a nice place to horse camp. Thank You!!

This is a horse camping area and there are very few places we are able to take horses. We couldn't get all the sites we needed, so several friends didn't make it up there with us. Just to find out that the horse campsites were full of non-horse campers, dirt bikes driving around the campsites and a few empty sites with no one in them. This horse campground is maintained by the Goldcountry Trail Council (an equestrian group). Something is definitely wrong here.
