The horse camp is not really set up for horses.. the stalls were horrid! They reminded us of a stock at the vets office where they perform procedures on the horses. The horses could not turn around or move at all and the stalls were on cement! Horrible to expect a horse to stand on cement all night! If a bear wanted to kill a horse, it would be easy since they would be trapped in the stupid excuse for stalls! Another problem is the lack of water at the campsite for the horses.carrying it from the creek is not a good option for older riders. The bathroom was clean and well maintained and the campsite was very nicetable and fire pitThe road leading in and out of the horse camp could be wider to permit people with larger trailers to get in and out. The turn to leave the camp barely left me enough room to get out.The trails out of the camp were very nice and well maintained.

You must check in at visitor center upon arrival. At other horse camps in GSMNP you simply fill out a card and put it on the board at the camp, which you have to do here also. The horse camp is reached by driving through the picnic area and turning through the gate at the upper end. The road is in good shape, but one lane for about 1/4 mile to camp. Trailers longer than a 3 horse slant with be difficult to turn in the camp. The stream that goes right by the camp was dried up this fall, but water for horses can be gotten from Anthony Creek about 100 yards above or below the camp. The camp has vault toilet, and 4 metal stalls at each camp. The trail goes right through camp and hikers pass frequently. The camp is very nice and only has 3 camp spots. Several trails can be ridden from the camp.

Anthony Creeks central location with multiple trailheads really opened our trail riding experience. Even with rainy days, the trail rides were very enjoyable.

Anthony Creek is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. We usually see as much wildlife in camp as we do on the trails.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
