What Guests Are Saying
Cut Foot Horse Campground is a beautiful camp with a lovely forest setting, enjoyed by many returning visitors. However, this visit was marred by a locked gate upon arrival, lack of communication regarding the reservation, and insufficient upkeep, including downed trees on trails and no available maps. Despite these issues, the campground retains its charm for long-time campers.

Very nice place. We will use the campground again. The only thing that would make it better is if there was electric.

Cutfoot souix Is always a great campground with nice sights. Good trails. No need for shoes, the trails are grassy or sandy.

I love Cutfoot Sioux Horse Camp. The trails are wonderful and plentiful for both riders and drivers. The footing is good but there are rocky spots, I like to have at least 2 front shoes on my horse. If your horse is an ouchy one, 4 shoes all around would be nice.The campground is primitive but there is water for the horses. Each campsite is cut into the forest so there is semi-privacy. Each spot has a fire pit w/small grill , a picnic table and a high-line and the trailer parking is pretty level. I meet a group of people there the second weekend of September every year...no bugs then. Chippewa National Forest is huge! This campground is just north of Deer River on the east side.

I stay at the horse camp and enjoy miles and miles of horse trails that are conducive to horse and carriage driving. It is beautiful and well maintained. I understand that special efforts are done by the rangers to clear the main trails of any fallen trees so the carts can get through. I look forward to my annual trip each year. Been going to Cutfoot for the last 10 years.

Love riding at Cutfoot! Campground is very nice & clean. Trails are varied & scenic. It would be nice to have more signage on trails. Also, a water hydrant for the additional sites would be appreciated. I wish we could reserve sites sooner than 6 months from arrival. This is one of my favorite horse camps in MN !
