Awesome view, but

I would highly recommend 4WD if you’re going all the way to the water sites. I attempted in my van and made it down to a sweet spot, but was stuck in the mud. Thankfully some campers nearby helped me rearrange my direction and get me out of the mud, but I still don’t know how I’m going to make it back out of here 😬. This might be my forever home?! Cell service is about 1 bar for Verizon and ATT, so I will need to attempt to head out in the AM for work purposes, wish me luck 🍀. If you are a fellow traveler and would like to follow our adVANtures check us out on IG @livin.the.vantasy. ✌️ and safe travels!

Deep Water Trail Camp offers primitive camping facilities with minimal amenities. The campground has designated sites, including some near water features. There are no advanced facilities such as running water, electricity, or shower buildings. Visitors should come prepared with all necessary supplies including water, food, and waste disposal bags. The remote nature of this campground means you'll need to be self-sufficient during your stay.

Plan your approach carefully and consider your vehicle's capabilities before attempting the journey.

Do I need a permit for Deep Water Trail Camp?

While specific permit information isn't detailed, most trail horse camps in public lands require some form of permit or registration. It's recommended to contact the managing agency (likely the Forest Service or BLM) before your visit to confirm current permit requirements and any associated fees. Some horse camps require stock permits or have specific regulations regarding feed and waste management for horses. Always check official sources for the most up-to-date information.

The area offers access to water sites, making fishing a possibility when water levels permit. Hiking is also available on the surrounding trails.
