    Coldwater Equestrian Campground — Blackwater River State Forest

    Perfect secluded equestrian camp with horse stable and trails.

    This beautiful equestrian campground offers 55 RV/tent campsites and one tent only site and 60 horse stalls. All campsites have water and electrical hookups. There is a dump station, restrooms, showers, and a dining facility available by reservation. Cold Water Creek runs along the north edge of the campgrounds with easy access from the camp sites. A very beautiful area. Only complaint is the the campsites are right next to each other with no screening between sites.

    Coldwater Equestrian Campground — Blackwater River State Forest

    Peace and quiet on Coldwater

    Most of the sites from #16 to #56 are shaded, some more than others. All the sites are not the same size, some being larger than the others. Very friendly staff especially the Rangers. Faye (one of the rangers) is great. We had our 3 year old granddaughter with us and she came by at least twice a day to give her a ride on the golf cart and printed of pages she could color on rainy days. She didn’t discriminate either..all the children at the campground got to take a ride. Lots of trails to ride your horses. A lot of the campsites are right on the water. You even have a private huge sandbar for campers only. The showers and bathrooms were always clean and nice. Even though we didn’t use it, there’s a large community center on site to use. We stayed on site #56 and it was right on the water. It was also next to the road. The site was extra super sandy (beach sand) and would be a lot better if they removed some of it. All the other campers were super friendly. We will be back.

    Wilderness Landing

    Great for free

    Beautiful views, clean restrooms, and free. Other campers were very friendly. The only reason for a 3 is the rough drive getting there.

    Wilderness Landing

    Nice little campground.

    It's not on the big side of campgrounds but still has some of the amenities. No hookups at the campsites but there is running water (hot and cold) in the bath house with flushing toilets. Power outlets in the bath house as well. It is located right on the Blackwater River and has a boat launch and two pavilions with tables and barbeque grills right on the beach. The river is sand bottom and fairly clear. My big ol' malamute "Stealie" loves the river! The best part is it's FREE! For up to 14 days.
