About Willow Prairie Horsecamp

Willow Prairie Horse Camp is nestled in tall timber at an elevation of 4,400 feet just southwest of Mt. Mc Loughlin, near a beautiful meadow. The camp was converted to a horse camp in 1990 with the addition of 19 miles of interconnecting horseback riding trails. The renovation was made possible through a partnership between the Forest Service and the Coalition of Equestrian Clubs, which provided much of the labor for this wonderful facility.

Nice large treed sun and shade sites. Easy access horse water troughs throughout the camp. Trails are a bit confusing-a numbers, names, colors, system that doesn't always match the maps provided. Carry a compass. We found the McCarrel guide book to be the most reliable. But is is beautiful! Trails are not particularly difficult-if your horse is not yet in great shape. You can choose your "own adventure" to match how long you want to ride. Nice host.

We have been going to willow prairie for 16 years and usually 2-5 times in a season. Our favorite spot is site # 10. This last year they have dropped trees which we understand has to happened but I would have thought they would have cleaned up the site. It was awful. Area had tree branches and stumps to trip over everywhere and made it tough to set up our living quarter horse trailer like before. And looks junky. Very disappointed. Also all water troughs were filthy. We cleaned out the one next to us. But all were unexceptable. We love this camp ground and we’re very disappointed that the people doing the hosting for multiple years were gone. They kept the camp ground immaculate. The troughs were cleaned every morning by doing as easy as a thing as using a small fish net to clean debris out. So simple. We will go back but with unfortunately not expect Much out of new host. Plus the new stuff they have chosen to put in stalls for horses is terrible. It was so muddy where before even when it rained never had this problem would drain nicely, plus using 3/4 minus rock gave my one horse a stone bruise overnight. The pee gravel works much better for the horses and drainage. The trails were not cleared very well but doable. She did drive around camp a lot to see who was there and did clean bathrooms. But never checked on stalls when people checked out. The campground was empty most of weekend except us, my daughter and people have n # 3 that weren’t around much. We walked around each site trying to figure out which other might fit us ok since # 10 is a mess. We have even thought of trying other campsites in area just because so disappointed. Hope things go back to the way they were . Love this place dearly .

What can I say. It was Memorial weekend and rained, the wind blew, hail and snow. We had a patio heater and enclosed canopy so stuck it out. We didn’t ride at all this trip but still had fun just visiting with friends. The new camp host, Judy, was awesome. Just touched bases with us and then allowed us to enjoy ourselves. It was a welcome change after the past few years! Looking forward to more trips this year.
