Horse-only camping defines this Forest Service site alongside Boulder Creek in the Bitterroot National Forest. Boulder Creek Horse Camp restricts access to equestrian campers, with no pets allowed on the property. The campground sits near the creek, providing water access for horses and a natural setting for overnight stays.
Located 9 miles from Conner, the site serves riders exploring the extensive trail system throughout the national forest. Sam Billings Memorial Campground sits just half a mile southeast for those needing additional options. The horse camp works best for experienced equestrian campers familiar with backcountry protocols and prepared for basic facilities.
