Horseshoe Recreation Area is a beloved campground known for its peaceful atmosphere, friendly hosts, and well-maintained facilities. Campers appreciate the cleanliness and spaciousness of the sites, as well as the beautiful scenery and proximity to hiking trails. While some note the absence of a shower facility and a dump station, the overall experience remains highly positive, with many returning year after year.

Very nice, quiet, small clean campground. Inexpensive with pass. Location is a bit off the beaten pass and down in a valley, so pulling a trailer is a bit of challenge. Otherwise, nice place to camp.

The drive through the mountains to get to this campground was absolutely beautiful. We truly loved the serene splashes of water along the stream in earshot of our campsite. Upon our arrival, we completely forgot that there was no WiFi, but we didn’t mind, in fact we enjoyed being disconnected to spend quality time together (in and out of the unexpected lightning and thunderstorms haha). We were greeted by the friendliest of camp hosts Kris Ann and Ashlee, they brought our firewood over to our site via wheelbarrow and dropped off our ice bag too. Kris Ann gave us print out directions to some of her highly recommended hiking spots and local restaurants, and we definitely got food baby comas after eating at The Grand Slam. We’ve been tent camping for a good little bit, so we have a good amount of gear to help us get by without needing to frequent a local store. WARNING: If you need supplies of any kind, it would be a 60-90 round trip to reach a grocery store or dollar general. Also, we completely didn’t remember this when we booked our trip, but there are no showers or water hookup sites, so if you are staying at this campground there is a swimming hole to dip into or i recommend bringing a portable camping shower. 1000% without a doubt this is a campground we are coming back to, and we hope we get to see Kris Ann and Ashlee again on our next trip!

We love the Horseshoe campground. Each campsite has enough room so you aren't crowded with other campers.
Campsite hosts are wonderful. Attentive to our needs. Regularly check the campground out for problems.
Only negatives. Bathrooms continue to be a maintenance problem. We have camped there many years and there is always bathrooms closed or having issues. Two were closed this time for problems. One of the other ones had a flushing problem (had to hold flush button for about a minute before it worked).
Also, we still would like to see showers at this campsite. We heard a few years ago they were being considered.
