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.

One of my favorite spots. Normally the area is kept very clean. However, this time the dumpsters were not emptied and they were overflowing. Tank toilets were spotless.

We absolutely loved our trip! It was clean, quiet and just beautiful there! The trails are just perfect! We loved it so much we already reserved a spot in August.

The water was working (though I brought mine just in case.) All campers were fine without a camp host. Like it that each manure dump had its own wheelbarrow and fork. Bathrooms were clean.

Sheep Springs is a lovely campground for trail riders. The sites are far enough away from each other to allow plenty of privacy. The vault toilets were the cleanest I have seen. The trails are beautiful and fairly well marked. The only issue I experienced was the water supply. As a 66 year old woman it was quite a workout to hand pump water for my horse. If the spigot accommodated a hose it would have helped direct water into my containers instead of losing lots of water onto the ground. I luckily brought a cart with me and carrying the water back to my site wasn't so much work.
