Sheep Springs Horse Camp offers spacious sites, well-maintained trails, and friendly camp hosts, making it a great place for camping and riding. Many visitors appreciate the clean facilities and the new steel corrals. Some minor issues include tight parking due to trees, occasional lack of water access, and noise from neighboring campers, but overall, it remains a highly recommended destination for horse enthusiasts.

Beautiful sites. Reservation stated there was water in camp, via a hand pump...not so. Handle was off the pump...no way to get water. Camp Host didn't seem too concerned. It was hot and NO WATER for horses! Concessionaire didn't seem too concerned either. We were all desperate for water for our horses. Spring & water trough was dry. Concessionaire did not even bring us a water tank. Said they had to have water tested for "potability" before they could put pump handle back on. WHY WASN'T THIS DONE BEFORE THE CAMP OPENED FOR RESERVATIONS? Total lack of responsibility & organization on Concessionaire's part. They left us all high & dry! And... no refund to campers for sites w/out promised water. Those with disconnected trucks went into Camp Sherman looking for water. Found a hose connected to a Public Bldg & got water there, but still had to haul it back to camp somehow. Horses need minimum 5-8 gallons per day. Shame on somebody! Never trust the government or their contractors. Be sure to haul in water if you go there.

The first day someone came by and offered us a shovel to clean out the stalls on our check in day. The stalls at site 8 were muddy, full of manure and muck and hay. Not dry enough to use. After a lot of scraping and a sunny day, no so bad. I thought that part of what we pay for is clean stalls and the monitoring of folks when they are ready to go, to clean them out with the host's supervision or the host doing it. Just wondering. Sad to say some campers are slobs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
