Horseshoe Campground offers a beautiful, serene setting with clean facilities and ample privacy, especially in sites 9, 10, and 11. Guests appreciate the proximity to excellent hiking trails, including the Limber Grove trail, and the peaceful atmosphere, even during busy weekends. While some noted rough access roads and occasional issues with campsite reservations, overall experiences were positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Campground is small and nice. Host seemed friendly. Unfortunately, due to recent rains and snows, we could not experience the trails. Be aware that the county road leading to the campground is in horrible shape. It is 6 mi of roughness and takes about 45 minutes to drive to get to camp since you must drive slowly or it will rip up your vehicle and camper.

Campground itself was nice. Very wooded, secluded, and primitive. Dumpsters were empty and clean. Fire pits were full and needed to be emptied. The road to get there was TERRIBLE. County Road 18 from FairPlay to the campground itself was the roughest road I’ve ever been on. Do NOT bring campers up here if you care about them at all. Took a solid hour to travel 5 mi.

Horseshoe was great! The colors were starting to change, which made for a beautiful backdrop. The camp host was pretty hands off, but was available when we had questions. There are a couple of hiking trails nearby and a small stream that runs through camp which provided our 3 year old lots of entertainment. The road to the campsite was washboard, which made for a less than pleasant drive in our camper van, but it was still a great campground. We hope to go back next year!

The campground was great. The water pump was an excellent convenience. There are plenty of hiking trails in the campground, and it is close to other trails in the area. It is possible to get to the campsite with an average car, but if you want to go further up the road towards Mt. Sherman, you might want a more off-road type vehicle. The campsite was quiet. We saw plenty of bear signs on the trees, but no other signs of bear in the area when we went in August.

Had a nice stay at this site - the reservation showed 27 ft and our 27 ft trailer just squeezed in. Multiple hiking trails right in the campground - great for exploring. June 15 until end of season they do allow ATV and dirt bikes on one of the trails. Great if you have the equipment, but not ideal for hikers. We only saw 5 total all weekend. It was buggy too, so bring bug spray. Sites were relatively private and quiet. The major benefit is close proximity to Mt. Sherman for an easy 14er. I would stay here again, but would aim for prior to June 15. Very, clean but the community latrine was a little older then most.

From Fairplay travel south on US-285 for about one mile. Turn right onto County Road 18. Continue for approximately 6 mi to the campground on the left.
Horseshoe Campground is accessible via US Highway 24, which is approximately 20 miles to the east, connecting to Colorado Springs and Leadville.
