Dry Creek Horse Camp
Nestled among a forest of ponderosa pines and just across a dirt road from Dry Creek, this hidden forest get-away is perfect for horse enthusiasts of any kind.
Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping elsewhere if you do not have a horse.
The Giddy-Up Go Trailhead is also located just across the road, so access to horse friendly trails does not get much better!
Check out the Giddy-Up Go Trail map for orientation of the horse camp with nearby roads and trails.

There is no human drinking water available; however livestock may drink from the creek if it is running. Some of the campsites contain corrals with four stalls in each, and other campsites have corrals with two stalls each. The campground is not fully enclosed; however there is combination split-rail and wire fence around most of the perimeter. Availability is determined on a first-come, first-served basis.
