Horse enthusiasts will find dedicated facilities at this state recreation area campground, which includes both camping sites and a staging area specifically designed for equestrian activities. The campground provides rustic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. While the camping area itself is fairly basic, the surrounding recreation area offers multiple lakes with boat launches and an extensive trail system for exploration.
Campers can access water activities on the area's lakes, and the trail network provides opportunities for hiking beyond the equestrian routes. For additional camping choices in the region, see campgrounds around Ortonville Recreation Area.
