Corrals for horses would improve this greatly. My LQ barely made around the circle with 1-2 missing a tree and then posts. LQ 30 on the flat. Large stacks of wood rounds stacked along either side of road and dumpster made it extremely difficult to swing and back into the site #10. Could see lake through the trees. GPS coordinates inaccurate on reservation site. No camp there. Parked on side of the road for the night. Do not come in from Quincy route, one lane road, bushes scraping the truck and trailer. 10-14+grades with hairpin turns, trail tires in ditch often. On uphills transmission got hot due to severity of grades. Comming in bad enough with Jake brake, leaving toward Quincy would burn out transmission,

Great trip.

Great campground and trails. The sites are very spacious. Sites 1, 5 and 9 are tent camping which it doesn't state on the reservation system. Plenty of room for large rigs. Lots of trees for hi-lining or portable corrals. The reservoir is within walking distance for some water fun. The only drawback is the road to get there.

Dates: 7/2/22 through 7/5/22 Campsite: 003 Horse Camp is a great campground and I would highly recommend coming back. The campground has ~10 sites, two vaulted toilets, and a potable water pump. We stayed Saturday through Tuesday, over the Fourth of July holiday. On Saturday and Sunday nights, approximately 50% of the sites were occupied. There was no camp host on site, however we saw a few National Forest Service personnel drive through, and the bathrooms / dumpsters were tended to during our stay. The campground is steps away from the Bald Mountain trailhead; a 5 mile out-and-back moderate hike, with ~1,150' of climbing. Some of the sites have views of the nearby Grass Valley Reservoir; all of the sites are within a 5 minute walk of the reservoir. The reservoir is great for SUP'ing, fishing, and swimming. All of the sites had fire rings and new Bear boxes. The Bear boxes are the type with a flat top (which is great for having additional work surfaces for cooking, etc. Google Map directions to the campground are pretty accurate. We drove in from La Porte and the campground was accessible via a sedan. We will definitely come back to Horse Camp!

It was strange that we were the only campers there with horses, but no one did anything to spook them so it worked out. There is a hand pump- to get water, nice trail, and very near a shallow end of the lake. The only drawback was all the dirt. The roads are dirt and people tend to drive fast on it creating a lot of dust. Many people just drove through the circle and left, maybe to see where the trail was or scouting for camping or swimming places. Kind of annoying since they made a lot of dust coming through.

Always clean, reservations easy, access to drinkable water, short walk to the lake. Large sites.

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!!!
