Horseshoe Campground

The campground was ok, sites were huge and spaced out, though my particular site didn't have a lot of shade. Lots of mosquitos as others have said. Bathrooms were ok.

What was weird for our stay on a busy August weekend was there was no host, and the reservation signs hadn't been updated in 4-5 days, so it was pretty awkward to have to kick someone out who had recently set up on our spot thinking it was available.

We really enjoyed our stay at Horseshoe Campground! We were lucky to get a good site for tent camping....there aren't very many that are flat-ish.
The Limber Grove trail right out of the camp was a very enjoyable hike.
Heads up it is a loooong 7 miles on pretty rough road to get to the campsite.
The pit toilets were clean but extremely smelly.

Great campground! Clean bathrooms, quiet, and trails from The campground. Some tree cover on site 8 but we had a canopy just in case. Only con was that there was a lot of mosquitos and ants. Bring bug spray and you’ll have a great time!

Great little campground close to trailheads and streams. Quiet site with plenty of shade and trees. Only downside were the mosquitos!

WHERE ARE THE HOSTS? My husband and I bought a small camper trailer last year and took it to Horseshoe campground for Memorial Day weekend (2023). The campground was lovely, clean, and had hiking trails nearby. The host was so friendly and helpful that we booked another weekend to close out the summer camping season (2023). We decided to make this a tradition and I booked the same campsite for Memorial Day weekend (2024). We were shocked to see so much snow (our bad for not checking) but there was no host. It almost looked like the campground wasn't yet open (despite all the emails I'd received reminding me of the reservation). Fortunately, our site was not snowed in and we had a great time camping. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOSTS? This concerns me. There were others with reservations that did not have access to their reserved sites. There were no signs posted showing which sites had been reserved and the bathrooms had not been cleaned well. Worst of all - it's been so ingrained in most of us that you don't transport firewood. We - on a whim - bought firewood in town when we got gas. Yet I think we were one of the few sites that had a campfire. We normally buy local wood from the host. For the most part, the campers that did arrive were respectful (though some tried to cut up a downed tree for firewood). I'm concerned that - without a host - as the season picks up, not everyone will be on their best behavior. We have in the past (at another campground) arrived to see someone already in our site. Fortunately, there was a host to clear this up. We camped at another campground the following weekend (May 31 - June 1, 2024) and again - no host. We drove through a third campground - no host. ??? They at least had reservation markers on the sites at these campgrounds. If you are camping this season - arrive early to make sure you get your reserved site and bring your own wood.

The host was really nice.

It was shocking. It is a beautiful, amazing campground. But out of the 30 plus sites only one other was occupied; the others were reserved but people were no shows. Allowing Booz Allen to manage the reservation system is a travesty. When cancellation costs the same as a reservation why would anyone bother to cancel. Why can’t Booz Allen penalize people who reserve and done show. It made me sick. I saw it happen again at Great sand Dunes. Full campground - booked sign yet a drive through the campground clearly showed tons of no shows.

Site was nice and clean. The road leading in/out is a little rough but that's all part of the experience!!!!

The campground was well maintained and the host, James, was personable and helpful. The campsite was spacious and away from the road. I enjoyed the trails all around. The road to get there, (4 mile road), is pretty rough on the vehicle so take it slow and be patient. The mosquitoes in this area are no joke! Every one of them are the size of Tinkerbell and they have a relentless disposition that would be an admirable quality if it didn't belong to those blood suckers! I read the reviews...I had the spray repellent, I created a force field around myself... they still hovered around me like a little brother saying "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!"
The vault toilets... I'd rather hang out with Tinkerbell-squito. They were super rank.
Overall, great campground and I'd come back again.

Mosquitoes were atrocious. The lots are only marginally trailer friendly.
