The campground features individual campsite picnic tables suitable for tent and RV camping with horses. The area remains busy throughout the summer months, requiring reservations for equestrian campers planning overnight stays. Campground facilities include basic amenities with fire rings at each site. Most campsites provide adequate space for horse trailers and vehicles, though sites can fill quickly during peak season.

GuideA fun little campground that is located right off Dead Indian memorial road. There are a few wooden stalls for horses and campgrounds are first come first served. Picture is from a nearby lookout we hiked to. Beautiful trails in the area.
ScoutIncredible location in the Cascade Mountains,( northern corner of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument). The campgrounds were well maintained and spaced so that they provided plenty of privacy from neighboring sites. Exception hiking, great wildlife sighting.
Another plus is that you are just 20 miles away from Ashland, easy drive allows one to take in a play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival , return to your campsite and marvel at the star lit night sky.
ScoutPack it-pack it out. There is no trash service. The trails are amazing. Briggs creek runs all year. The horse camp is getting a little run down, but still nice. We go every year with our horses. Its primitive camping. No drinking water, showers, or cell service. There is a spot about 3 miles up the road where most can get service.
LegendNice classic Oregon state park with all the requisite facilities of electric hook-ups, RV dump station, ranger programs. Amphitheater and showers. Camp sites a little on top of each other, especially in comparison to the nearby Williamson River Campground, but still a very nice and popular camp site near Crater Lake and Klamath Falls.
Across the highway there's the "Collier State Park Logging Museum" which we didn't get a chance to get to but looked like a lot of fun.
RangerThe Wildcat Campground in Oregon is great, however it does get pretty busy during the summer months. My family and I visited this campground for a few days at the beginning of August and it was packed. Thankfully we went early on Friday morning and got a spot before the rush of people came. It is a "first come first serve" campground so you are not able to call ahead and reserve your spot. You just have to get their early! The campground is located in the Ochoco National Forest. It is definitely a beautiful place to camp. It is relatively close to town, which is why I think it gets busy during the summers. There were a lot of college aged students camping, which did make it pretty loud. My family has a camper, which is allowed in this campground. They have spots for campers, and spots for tents. Each campsite does have a picnic table which is nice. We always bring extra chairs because we are a family of 5 so the picnic table gets a little overcrowded. My family and I really enjoyed doing some hikes nearby (can't remember the names of the hikes), but we looked everything up beforehand. Gorgeous views, but lots of ticks on the hike. Thankfully we all wore tick repellent and smothered our dog in it as well. One thing I wish this campground had was a river/lake within walking distance from the campground.
GuideWhen we first moved to Oregon, my family and I wanted to get out of a hotel while we searched the area for housing! The staff here was friendly, and easy to work with. They have clean bathroom facilities with nice hot showers! The camp sites are a bit close, but the location is surprisingly not frequented often from what I’ve noticed. There is a boat launch, and other areas where you can simply fish off the banks. Short trails are here as well! If you’re looking for longer trails there are plenty all around that you could do a short drive to or walk along the highway (don’t worry, the camp itself is not directly on the road!). The small town of keno is not far from camp either, so if you are in need of more ice or propane, they have small town “stores” to get your essentials from! Or, if you are in need to restock larger items, Klamath Falls is only 25 mins away. There’s lots of wildlife here as well! Deer, fish, birds, rabbits, the occasional mountain lion as well. Have fun, be safe!!
TravelerSites are small and we were in a tent. We were going to be there for an extended period of time and they asked us to move our tent around to spot so we didn't kill the already dead grass... it was the middle of August in Oregon everything is dry and dead. Closed both bathrooms at the same time every day, why not close one and then the other? clean bathrooms though, nice pool. Small play area for kids.
GuideWe were down in Southern Oregon for the Caves.
We stayed in the Heron loop which was the smallest and most primitive, It was wonderful and we had the whole south of the lake to ourselves. Firewood here is not bundled and since it was off season we got a huge amount for$5. The hosts were terrific. This was a wonderful quiet stay.
Will always be back.
This year it was pretty spendy for a tent site $24
LegendThis is a great campground, very beautiful, but very busy. Off highway 62 take the Natural Bridge turn off and follow the road to the campground. The sites are for the most part secluded from each other and most are along the Rogue River with a mix of sun and shade. All sites have picnic tables and fire pits. There are also multiple outhouses throughout the campground.
Keep in mind that though the sites near the water are awesome, there is a heavily used trail that runs right along the river so you will have multiple hikers walking near or through your amazing campsite. We had site 6 and though it appears to be the best site (large and nearly fully enclosed) it's not because the trail runs at the edge of the spot and you will have loud hikers strolling right through your space.
The hiking nearby is great. There is a loop hike which takes you to the Natural Bridge area which is really cool. There is also a hike to the Rogue Gorge that takes you through another campground further up. On top of the busy trail along the campsites there is also areas where people hang out to swim or fish so you can hear people nearly all day long. It was nice the first day and night during the week but over the weekend it got a bit ridiculous and we left. There are large garbage cans for trash service but no water and no recycling. There is also no cell service from ATT, Verizon and TMobile.
Off season this place would be great but we strongly suggest not going on a weekend or busy season unless you like people noise constantly all day.
Equestrian camping opportunities near Eagle Point, Oregon provide access to miles of forested trails in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Located at elevations between 3,500-4,500 feet, these campgrounds offer cooler summer temperatures compared to the Rogue Valley below. Most horse campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from mid-spring through early fall due to snow conditions at higher elevations.
Trail riding around Hyatt Lake: Hyatt Lake Recreation Area connects riders to several scenic trails through the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. "Incredible location in the Cascade Mountains, (northern corner of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument). The campgrounds were well maintained and spaced so that they provided plenty of privacy from neighboring sites. Exception hiking, great wildlife sighting," notes one reviewer at Hyatt Lake Recreation Area.
Natural Bridge exploration: About 40 minutes from Eagle Point, riders can trailer to Natural Bridge Campground for day rides along the Rogue River. "The hikes along the river here are amazing, and the campground is nice and peaceful. The cost per night is $15, which is nice and cheap. Zero cell reception in this area," reports a camper at Natural Bridge Campground.
Wildlife viewing: Dawn and dusk provide the best opportunities to spot deer and other wildlife. "There is lots of wildlife around the lake; dusk coaxed several deer out to the water, lots of birds throughout the day, and the sound of frogs at night," shares one visitor to Hyatt Lake.
Privacy between sites: Many horse camps offer well-spaced campsites. "We had the place to ourselves for a week at end September/beginning of October which was great. We enjoyed the shaded campsites with a tent and the rest of our party parked their RV with ease," reports a camper at Lily Glen Horse Camp.
Access to water features: Many equestrian-friendly campgrounds offer access to lakes or streams. "We stayed at site 4 and had plenty of space. The site backed up to the river which was great," notes a camper at Natural Bridge Campground.
Star gazing opportunities: The higher elevation and distance from urban areas create excellent night sky viewing. "The night sky was gorgeous," mentions a Lily Glen visitor, while another at Hyatt Lake values being able to "return to your campsite and marvel at the star lit night sky."
Reservations required at some locations: Unlike dispersed camping areas, designated horse camps may require advance booking. "The campground requires you to make a reservation online even though there are empty sites everywhere... neither of us had cell reception so I find this to be a very odd requirement," explains a camper at Hyatt Lake Recreation Area.
Seasonal road noise: Some horse camps experience periodic traffic disruption. "The only drawback was the constant noise of logging trucks at night. They were coming from Keno Road so the noise included them gearing down to the stop sign and then getting back up to speed when passing the campground," reports a Lily Glen visitor.
Limited amenities: Most horse campgrounds provide basic facilities only. "There are pit toilets, garbage cans and well with a hand pump," notes a Lily Glen camper, while Natural Bridge offers "pit toilets and trash bins here" with "minimal amenities."
Bring extra activities: Some campgrounds offer recreation beyond horseback riding. At Lake Selmac County Park, "the kids enjoy the fishing and I love the view across the lake," shares one parent who frequently visits with family.
Consider yurts for shoulder season camping: For families wanting to extend their season, "We love coming to lake selmac to use the yurts for winter camping. They're heated and cozy," notes a regular visitor to Lake Selmac.
Pack for variable weather: Mountain weather can change quickly. At Fourmile Lake Campground, one visitor emphasizes the "spectacular views of Fourmile Lake and Mt. Mcgloughlin" but notes weather conditions can vary significantly at higher elevations.
Site selection matters: At Medford-Gold Hill KOA, about 30 minutes from Eagle Point, an RVer advises, "Pull thru sites are short my 35 footer and car just fit. Multiple sites car were sticking in to the road making it a little close pulling out in the morning."
Consider staying midweek: Many campgrounds are less crowded Monday through Thursday. "Campground is very crowded (seems like quite a few long term) and our pull thru site barely fit our 25ft trailer and truck. Okay for a place to sleep, and dump," reports an RVer at Medford-Gold Hill KOA.
Watch trailer access: Some horse camping roads have tight turns. "Would be cautious bringing a huge rig up here as the roads are windy and sites are on the smaller side," warns a camper at Hyatt Lake, though most horse-specific campgrounds do accommodate standard horse trailers with living quarters.
