Horse Camp Primitive Campground

We didn't stay at the camp site. We have never visited this area before and when I made the reservations online it didn't say that it was a remote campsite. When we (my son 12 and myself) I didn't feel comfortable or safe to camp at this site. Now I'm trying to get a refund and it's almost impossible.

Nice and secluded with one 2 spots. However, a dirt road that leads to a couple of small towns is frequented at various times of the day/evening, and the vehicles speed through there, kicking up dust and dirt.

The bugs were awful! The mosquitoes were so bad and their bites hurt that we actually had to pack up and leave. It is an ok spot but there are probably prettier spots in the area near/overlooking the water.

The only knock was our first night the bathroom door became locked and wasn’t opened until Monday (2 nights later). Once it was opened it was still set to be locked anytime it was closed so we set out a rock hoping that others would understand not to shut the door when they left. Otherwise the campsite was clean and great to use.

Beautiful hikes close by, bathrooms were locked & therefore unusable, somewhat isolated (only two spots, no host) but not remote per se

Very remote. I was the only human camping at the site.

We only camped for one night. The site was super clean with really nice bathrooms and water. Would recommend for sure.

So this campground was a last minute/last resort option due to all of the campgrounds closing in and around Yosemite. There weren't many reviews for it and I was a bit nervous to take others here with such little information to go off of but decided to just go for it. The bottom line is, this campground is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anybody.

It's located near the Whiskeytown Recreation Area but its quite a bit out of the way tucked into the hills. It's a mix of paved and dirt roads and while you don't necessarily need high clearance or anything, I wouldn't drive a nice car to this spot.

The campground itself is simple and straightforward with only two sites that are on opposite sides of a clearing from each other. We stayed at Campsite 001 and had two tables, a firepit, and two large bear lockers. The two sites share a vault toilet that was perfectly clean and had toilet paper. Our site was on a bit of a slope but that didn't really impact our tent/sleeping situation all that much. It was honestly very well kept.

We decided to adventure out to around Mt. Shasta/Weed and it's a bit of a drive but certainly still doable.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone interested in staying around this area.

Surrounded by burn trees and looks like abandoned place and nobody was there and could find the camp site exactly using google maps.
Winter is not the right time to go there .

Very secluded. Very quiet. Water spigot nearby. Latrines were spotless. There's a short hiking trail along the river right next to the sites. CAR fire ravaged through a lot of the area but there has been recovery and there are still some pretty areas to see. Short drive to the reservoir where there are plenty of picnic tables.
