Salters Cabin Horse Camp
Salters Cabin Horse Camp is located in a shaded, second-growth, ponderosa pine forest and makes for a great escape from those hot summer days! There is a corral on site for folks camping with horses to use. The cabin on site is for historic purposes and the Forest Service recommends that visitors do not enter or camp in the cabin.

Activities
Campground Camping
This is a small campground and is best suited for folks with a large trailer or recreational vehicles.
RV Camping
This is a small campground with a large turn around area, so it is a good place to go if your trailer or recreational vehicle had a hard time fitting other places. Though the parking area is big enough to accommodate many vehicles please be mindful of other users and do not encroach on their stay. As with most of the campgrounds on Ochoco National Forest, there are no hook-ups offered here so camping should be self-contained.
Horse Camping
There is a large corral available on-site for those visitors who choose to camp with their horses. There is no manure pit so the Forest Service requests that you pack out waste. Please also adhere to the weed-free regulations to reduce the spread of invasive species in our forest. Thank you!
