Creek sounds and deer flies mark this equestrian-focused dispersed camping area in the Kootenai National Forest. The horse camp provides tie-outs, a feeding area, and mounting ramp alongside fire rings and picnic tables for up to fourteen days of free camping. A single vault toilet serves multiple sites positioned along the creek in subalpine terrain.
Little Theriault Lake sits within walking distance, while miles of trails extend into the surrounding forest. Campers must secure food storage properly in this bear country. The creekside location brings both water access and insects during warmer months, making this spot well-suited for equestrians comfortable with backcountry conditions and wildlife precautions.
