What Guests Are Saying
Sheep Springs Horse Camp is praised for its beautiful setting and excellent trails, including routes to the Metolius River and Bear Valley. Campers appreciate the new steel corrals and well-maintained facilities, though some noted issues with road conditions and camp host availability. While there were minor inconveniences, such as bee activity and bathroom supplies, overall, visitors express satisfaction with their experiences and the scenic nature of the camp.

This is a beautiful rustic horse camp. It is well maintained (thanks Oregon Equestrian Trails!).
There were a couple of parties camping there that did not have any stock animals. That's always frustrating, as there aren't as many campgrounds available for stock users as for non-stock users.

Sheep Springs is a primitive camp but it's a beautiful location and has multiple trail opportunities from the campground. Bring your own water if you want to avoid using the pump (which takes full body weight to pump).

best feature is the shaded sites and great log stalls. Worse feature is the distance you have to go to hand pump the water for the corrals. Several faucets would make it a perfect "10" as a horse camping experience.

Other than having a mama bear and her 3 yearling 150 lb cubs come through the camp at 1am and knocking over the garbage (it was locked) dumpster, it was wonderful. The other campers/ riders were all friendly as was the camp host. Rides were fun and the trails were cleared.

The sites were clean and the camp host, Danny, was very helpful in showing us maps of the area. The big bin manure container was full but we used the old pit. The rest rooms were clean.

Good host good access to good trails. Trails clear and usable. Map at sign board with trails/roads would be helpful at all camps. Corral rails broken and rotten. Need replaced. Corrals muddy. Some gravel under mud thankfully. Mud is bad for hooves.
