Clean and comfortable for both campers and horses. Ken is a TERRIFIC camp host. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We all loved it when he shared some of the history.

Ken the camp host is very helpful and flexible. He got us a new site when the one I reserved wouldn't fit our rig, was helpful with trail maps and general information. Campsites are nice, well maintained. Wish we could have a fire, but that's the way it goes in the Northwest at the end of summer!

Ken is an awesome host. Trail to Cooper Lake beautiful. When using this camp, your horse will be in the corrals, away from your camp site. Corrals are large and well made. There is also water there. You will need to transport the feed.

Great camp and camp host. Liked the horse manure bin.
Reservation fees seemed odd. With America the Beautiful pass, cost was $41 for 3 days and $19 for the 4th day which was reserved separately due to my misunderstanding the website. Sun thru Wed night.
Sorry the camp closes near the end of Sept. Back next year!

Excellent. Clean and well-run. Only complaint is the camp closes before the very BEST time of year! Please please please stay open into October, which is a wonderful time of year to ride that area

Very nice equestrian campsite. The corrals are sturdy & nicely sized, with water easily accessible. The campsites are tight for larger rigs, but have a nice layout & plenty of shade for even the really hot weather we visited in.

Check out time

  • Contact the area manager for questions as there is no host on site.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
