Best Equestrian Camping near Paisley, OR

10 Reviews

Silver Creek Marsh Campground in the Fremont-Winema National Forest includes corrals at one end specifically for horse camping. The campground features several spacious pull-through sites with ample room between them, making it suitable for vehicles with horse trailers. Clean vault toilets serve the camping area, and the overall grounds are well-maintained. The campground has no hookups, providing a primitive camping experience with both shaded and open sites. Some campers note that several sites are long enough to accommodate larger trailers and RVs. The road access involves traveling down gravel roads that may have washboard conditions in places.

Multiple hiking and riding trails connect to the campground area, offering extensive exploration opportunities throughout the surrounding forest. The campground sits near Thompson Reservoir, providing additional recreation options. Stargazing conditions are excellent due to minimal light pollution in this remote area. The campground typically has good availability even during holiday periods, though the paved access road requires careful navigation due to large cracks that could damage wheels if driven too quickly. No cell service is available in this area, making it ideal for those seeking a true disconnect from technology. The quietness and peaceful setting make it particularly appealing for campers with horses who want solitude while still having dedicated equestrian facilities.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Quiet and peaceful

    We were headed to Thompson Creek reservoir, but opted for this lovely little FS campground.  We had the place to ourselves the first night and another camper came in for the 2nd.  Easy pull-through site, pretty level and fit both rigs.  Otherwise plenty of room between sites.

    It was a bit of a trek down gravel roads to get here.  Took it easy, though, and no problems.

     Lovely walks and hikes to be had.  Beautiful stargazing.  Clean pit toilets and clean overall campground.  There were corrals at one end for horse camping.  No cell service. (in 2020)

    4 stars only because of the sometimes-washboard road to get here.

    From here we visited Crack in the ground, Cowboy Dinner Tree, The Sand Dunes, Fort Rock and Christmas Valley.

    Mud Creek Campground

    Nice spot just unbearable with mosquitoes

    It’s a nice spot for a night but plan to stay inside the entire time. When I pulled up people were leaving and told me it’s infested with mosquitoes to the point they’d rather go into town and get a hotel for the night. If you dare to go outside you’ll be eaten alive spray or not I tried. I’m from a rural farm town in Alabama. We get a good amount of mosquitoes down south but this is out of this world. Oregon should look into spraying the area truly.

    I’d also like to add I’m towing a 30 foot TT and my roof was touching The tree branches on the way in. I would not recommend a 5th wheel or anything longer. It’s tight.

    Edit: after I got to my next spot I noticed tears on my rubber roof. Highly recommend no 5th wheels and tts be extra careful if you decide to try and boondock here.

    Mud Creek Campground

    Beautiful, large, private & free

    Camped here in Oct 2020. This is a USFS campground in the Fremont Winema NF. No hookups but large private sites with fire rings and ginormous picnic tables plus vault toilets. There’s water but only in season. Close to Hart Mtn Antelope Refuge. Would camp here again.

    Mud Creek Campground

    Primative campground with benches and rings.

    This campground is small and only has around 10 sites. Typically either pine needle floor or 3 ft tall grass. Not maintained well. Picknick benches, fire rings, pot bathroom and manual water pump for water. During August there was no creeknor lake here. Other times of the year it looks to floor.

    Easy to find. Road is well maintained. Paved roadway.

    Fremont National Forest Mud Creek Forest Camp

    Take a drive out to Mud Creek

    Cows… you will see many open range cows while you drive down a long gravel road and again when you reach your destination at Mud Creek. The creek is somewhat seasonal, but you can find a small stream on the road across from the campsite. Not enough water to go fishing or swimming. There is no cell service out there, but many hiking trails and peace and quiet if that is what you are searching for. There is a trailhead a mile up the road with parking. There are vault toilets and space for both tent and RV camping. Be on the look out for rattlesnakes, ticks, and cows out here.

    Fremont National Forest Mud Creek Forest Camp

    Clean remote camp

    This campground has a vault toilet, a water pump, and a brown water dump site. It has 7 back in camping spots, and there is fishing nearby. I would suggest smaller trailers and Rvs or tent camping. If you need phone or internet service this site is not for you.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Quiet, clean Forest Service campground near Thompson Reservoir

    No frill Forest Service campground in the Fremont-Winemaker National Forest. On a warm June night, it’s a pleasure to have a campground like this entirely to one’s self.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Great sites, bumpy road

    Came in on 4th of July and lots of sites were available. Sites are level, well shaded and several are long and can handle big trailers. Some sites have less shade if you need StarLink access. Pit toilets are clean and have plenty of TP.

    The paved road in is not maintained well and has huge cracks every 20 feet, some that could take out a wheel. But the slow bumpy trip was worth it.
