This campground is an absolute gem, and one of my all-time favorites. It is kept very clean by the camp host, Lynn Fulton. She is a wonderful host who is on top of everything, keeps the camp clean and the pit toilets fresh! We loved our stay here, extended our reservation, and will definitely return. Thank you for this equestrian campground!!

Great place to camp with horses off the grid. Very large pens. Bring your own water and electric, there are 2 spigots but too far away for most of the pens . Trails right from camp. Williams creek runs just behind camp.

This campground actually had spigots that connected to hoses so you wouldn’t have to carry buckets of water across camp and even uphill like the other 3 campgrounds with corrals in Colorado on this site. Palisades had level parking areas for trailers, 12’ x 24’ pens, manure rakes, buckets, and dumpsters, campfire/grills and a picnic table. There’s also a pit toilet and a big community stock tank in the middle of camp (but it was empty the beginning of June when I was there). The campground host hadn’t moved in yet, but a host from another campground checked in daily. There’s a beautiful running river next to camp, a marshy area I explored beside it, and 2 trails that go straight uphill (from 8300’) that can be accessed without trailering. The climbs were very steep for my “flat lander” horse. Trout and elk abound. I had the place to myself 3/4 days.

Campground was nice. Horse pens were muddy. Only 2 trails close to camp. Both were steep, rocky and lots of ledges. Not my favorite type of riding. Had planned on staying 5 nights but left after 3 due to lack of trails.

Have been going to palisades horse camp for years. Pat our camp host was the best ever at any camp I’ve ever stayed at. She was amazing and showed us a trail we had never found before. She’s an amazing woman and kept us very informed on all the trails and were attentive to our needs.
