Nice camp with great trails! Have to hand pump water- but at least there is this option. We try to bring our own in, as it’s easier this way.
Bear siting on road in- not far from camp. Road in was pretty washboard. Cell service (Verizon) was okay..

There was no toilet paper in the bathroom in the 4 days we were camping there.

Very pretty horse camp set near to several creeks. This time we parked in site #7. It was a little difficult to determine which site it actually was, as the signs don't obviously correspond to the spots. We have a 32' LQ and it was a bit tricky backing it in because of how 3 trees near the entrance of the spot are spaced. But the campsite itself is quite generous and once parked it worked very well. The corrals are set up as 2 and 2 rather than all 4 side by side. Two of the corrals have more shade than the other two. The spot is pretty close to Site #8 so these two sites would be perfect for friends camping together. The good news is there is paved road quite a ways in, but the bad news is the last 2-3 miles of gravel is filled with potholes and washboard. Don't expect to travel quickly over this section. We enjoy several of the trails, the shorter Brush Creek Loop, the longer Metolius River Loop, and Bear Valley (if it has been cleared). Enjoy your stay!

Great horse camp with easy trails! There was no camp host this year and the bathrooms ran out of TP but aside from that it was great.

Sooo happy pump has been serviced and useable this year by women! And the new corrals are wonderful to use!

Becky (hope I have that right) was an amazing host. The place was great right down to the bathrooms. NIce shade and great graze in the meadow for the horses. And the water tastes good even though you have to pump it...

Sheep Springs Horse Camp offers great trails, like riding down to the Metolius river or the trail to Bear Valley. Because it is fairly low elevation it's great for early summer or fall camping and riding. Site 10 worked well for our LQ though some stumps made it just slightly tricky to pull out. The new steel horse corrals are very nice. The only downside to this site is that the corrals are in direct sun a good part of the day so we wished we'd brought a sunshade. The water pump at the camp entrance was working fine and the restrooms were kept clean by the camp host. Sadly, the last few miles of road to the camp are full of potholes, ruts and washboard, so be prepared to drive very slowly.

PERFECTLY WELL MAINTAINED WITH GREAT STALLS, CLEAN BATHROOMS AND AMAZING TRAILS. THE PUMP STILL DRAWS INCREDIBLE WATER.
