Excellent camp ground with pens for horses. The pens are not in sight of most camp spots - FYI. Otherwise nice host, and all that is needed for lovely cramping! Water right by pens!

@CarrieS6009005 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #11

The camp host was very nice and accommodating.

@VickiM8674057 · Camped on Sep 7, 2023 at Campsite #9

We had a wonderful time! The sturdy and large corrals were great. And easy water access was much appreciated! The camp host, Ken was the best! Very helpful and friendly. Always there for you if needed. We loved Ken. Beautiful trails and scenery.

@AnthonyA779648 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #7

Great spot, great trails, and great host. Ken is a gem

@AnneM9161985 · Camped on Sep 19, 2022 at Campsite #12

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.

@MissyD5381589 · Camped on Sep 19, 2022 at Campsite #11

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.

@LUCIAM5904362 · Camped on Sep 19, 2022 at Campsite #5

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!

@CB7950688 · Camped on Sep 19, 2022 at Campsite #9

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

@MaryK8503295 · Camped on Sep 18, 2022 at Campsite #10

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!

@NicolaN5190505 · Camped on Aug 1, 2022 at Campsite #10

Great horse camp well cared for and friendly host. Really a great place to relax and ride. Be prepared for dry camping and horses should be in decent shape. Can be rocks and elevation.

@AshleyK7828735 · Camped on Jul 28, 2022 at Campsite #4

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.

@DonP9017789 · Camped on Jul 22, 2022 at Campsite #6

This was our first time at this great horse camp. We met some amazing people. The camp host was super helpful and super generous. We will definitely be going back.

@HollyZ2137602 · Camped on Jul 14, 2022 at Campsite #9

This place was so nice and relaxing for our group trip. The horses were safe, getting water was easy. Many trails to choose from.

@JamesC762 · Camped on Sep 7, 2021 at Campsite #9

Great place to ride and camp!

@JamesC762 · Camped on Sep 7, 2021 at Campsite #8

Great place to camp!

@GaryB543 · Camped on Aug 12, 2021 at Campsite #7

Camp host does an exceptional job taking care of the facilities and upkeep as required. Restrooms are some of the cleanest I've seen at a federal campground. The corrals and horse area is well maintained and safe for our animals. They also are quick to answer questions and very helpful. Can't ask for more.

@MICKIEH993 · Camped on Aug 10, 2021 at Campsite #5

Ken was a great camp host! Met us immediately and answered all questions with enthusiasm! Rode Cooper Lake Trail and Waptus trail to Waptus Lake (long ride but worth it). Both beautiful rides and scenery. Saw a black bear on Waptus trail. Went during week days so hiker and other horse traffic was minimal. One of the wheelbarrow tires did fall off while transporting manure to dump bin but we all got a laugh out of it! Thank you!

I booked by calling the phone # for recreation.gov. We had lousy internet where we were at the time. I was looking for a camp site for a Friday and Saturday night in the Salmon La Sac region. The phone call took a while, but eventually, afeter she checked all the sites in the area, the lady told us there were spots @ Cayuse, which we booked for 2 nights, which we paid for after we were transferred to a second lady. She did say it was a horse camp. But we have horses at home, so that was ok, we like horses (well, my wife does, anyway). The call took about 30 minutes, but we had a spot, we thought....... When we arrived the camp host told us we couldn't stay there, because this was a horse camp, and we had to bring horses. He was not very understanding. Given that we had booked and paid for a site, it was going to sit empty for the weekend. He didn't care. So we had made a donation, and moved on. Luckily we found a spot by the river. Frustrating.

Camped here over fourth of July weekend to escape fireworks. VERY quiet so it was perfect! Great horse camping (and people camping). Corrals are nice and big, but don't really have any shade except for a couple. Easy access to water and close by to the camp spots. Very "natural" setting camp spots that are large and located in a close in area but you don't feel like you're right on top of your neighbor. Vault toilet restroom. Very nice camp host and beautiful area for trail riding. But, if you are looking for casual trail riding, there isn't much of that. Most of the trails are uphill, very rocky and difficult. There is a reason this campground was a base camp for mules!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
