LegendHares Canyon Horse Camp is one of three campgrounds in Stub Stewart State Park and unlike other horse camps which often allow the overflow of tenters and rv'ers without horses, this horse camp is equestrian only.
The Campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites.
You must clean up after your own horse. Manure bin as well as shovels/brooms are provided onsite.
In mid May, the sites were very wide open.
GuideI don’t have a horse but I still stayed here! We were in the area, struggling to find a place to camp. After 7 pm, the campground let us set up camp in an empty equestrian campsite. Unique experience!
TravelerOne of our favorite Oregon SPs. In the middle of a mountainous forest with lots of hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more. Well maintained full hookup sites with 50amp, most 63' long. The park has recently renewed trail signage.
LegendWe had the campground to our self midweek. This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down. While this is a horse campground, only 8 of the sites are for horse campers, a small tent/RV camping loop of 3 sites is also available, but the parking pads are small so don't think most RVs will fit in the spots. Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Nice flat ground for your tent with plenty of shade from the large trees. Campground has a hand pump for water. Dish wash stations are through out the campground for pouring out you dish water. The horse camp sites all have corrals for the horses. Nice hiking trail starts at the tent camping area, "Big Tree Trail" will take you past some monster sized trees. This will be a campground we return to the next time we visit Oregon
TravelerSite was nice and private, staff was very friendly, and the grounds were pretty clean! A short hike will take you right to the river and there’s plenty of nice trail to explore. If stepping around occasional horse poop isn’t your thing, maybe skip the hike though. Plenty of horses and dogs around.
LegendA large state park located near Estacada on the banks of the Clackamas River, Milo McIver is a well-loved Oregon state park. Because it's close to Portland, it is very busy. The main campsite area is set for tents as well as RVs with electric and water hookups available. Campsites are kind of close together but well appointed with bathrooms/showers available. There is a small tent-only area also available but the sites are kind of cramped and they all spin off a common parking area with little privacy.
The park overall has lots of different open spaces for hiking, interpretive programs, disc golf, fishing, areas for horse riding, and a great overlook on the Clackamas River.
LegendSmaller, but we were able to switch sites away from an area with two families/lots of little kids (so the area is easy for people who don't camp a lot). Beautiful river, lots of horses and fisherpeople, great trails, tall trees, lots of shade, close to Portland. Plus you can reserve sites ahead of time.
GuideI love Seaquest for their beautiful campsites and the proximity to a wonderful forest to bathe in. But don't go for the RV sites, which are laid out in a parking lot setting with no real distance from neighbors and not surrounded by trees. Unless that's your jam. It was definitely not ours, tent camping alongside some friends with a trailer who liked nothing more than to hang out at said trailer, and walk through the campground to look at other.. trailers. I don't think they even stepped foot in the 7+ miles of forest trails which is a few steps away. If you can step away from the hookups and get a real campsite off the RV pad, it is a stunning experience. Each site is surrounded by trees, creating privacy and serenity. Another great option is the yurts. We stayed in Yurt 2 (the only pet friendly yurt) and loved it.
For those with RV's, trailers, campers - look into the regular sites because I think some of them even have hookups and can accommodate most sizes. Just steer clear of RV sites T1-T16.
L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park serves as a central point for horseback riders traveling near Warren, Oregon. Located within the Coast Range foothills at 1,800 feet elevation, the park experiences cooler temperatures year-round with abundant rainfall from October through May. Trail conditions vary seasonally from dusty summer tracks to muddy winter paths requiring proper footwear and equipment.
Mountain biking on forest trails: L.L. Stub Stewart State Park features numerous mountain biking trails with varying difficulty levels. "The park has many hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more. Well maintained full hookup sites with 50amp, most 63' long. The park has recently renewed trail signage," notes a visitor to Dairy Creek East.
Stargazing after dark: The elevated position at Hares Canyon Horse Camp provides exceptional night sky viewing. "The top of the park shows a vast section of sky which is perfect for meteor shower watching," explains a reviewer who visited Hares Canyon Horse Camp. The location minimizes light pollution interference for better astronomical observation.
Fishing at nearby lakes: Battle Ground Lake State Park offers year-round fishing opportunities. "Great fishing! Trout, bass, blue gill... swimming area. Store on sites. Nice hike around lake with plenty of spots to rest and fish," reports a visitor to Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground. The volcanic lake supports multiple fish species and provides accessible shoreline spots.
Trail connectivity: Equestrian campers appreciate direct access to the trail system. "The campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites," details a reviewer at Hares Canyon Horse Camp.
Private tent sites: Some parks offer secluded tent camping options away from RV areas. "My partner and I had a relaxing time camping at Camp Wilkerson, staying overnight on a Saturday and Sunday in August. Since the camp is planned predominantly as a youth recreation center, I was a bit worried that it would be a pretty loud campsite due to lots of kids running around. That was not the case for us! We stayed at the tent site T9 and pretty much had the place to ourselves on Sunday. The solitude and creek nearby made the experience quite tranquil," notes a camper at Camp Wilkerson.
Accessible amenities: Campers value parks with essential services within walking distance. "The camp is run by the city and it is very clean. I've seen boyscout troops come through on packs of bicycles and single joggers on the Banks Vernonia trail which is easy and scenic. The trail comes through camp and you can walk anywhere in town from camp. Grocery, laundry, several good restaurants and shops," explains a visitor to Anderson Park.
Weather variability: Coastal range weather can change rapidly, particularly in spring and fall. "We stayed here one night while heading north. Hoped to see Mt. St. Helens but it was overcast. Very shaded and dense forest. No cell (occasionally 1 bar LTE AT&T). Too heavily forested for Starlink," reports a camper at Seaquest State Park Campground.
Trail conditions: Some hiking paths may be poorly marked or maintained. "We did have a hell of a time figuring out the trail wayfinding! The Little Foot trail is overgrown and the wayfinding signs don't make any sense. This was a bummer since we don't have a horse and it was the only trail that didn't have lots of horse poop on it," shares a Camp Wilkerson visitor.
Reservation requirements: Popular equestrian campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "During the main season when the whole place is open you can usually find a spot last min. This year with covid it's been harder to find a spot last min and they would only let you reserve 30 days in advance so planning something in advance was impossible," explains a camper at Hares Canyon Horse Camp.
Look for playground access: Families appreciate campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "They have a cool volcanic lake with a swimming area and great fishing. Its like a mini crater lake. I mean mini like pond size. The campground is nice spacious and they have a few cabins," notes a visitor to Battle Ground Lake State Park Campground.
Check shower facilities: Quality bathrooms make family camping more comfortable. "Adequate bathrooms with mirrors, flushing toilets, hot shower! Peaceful yet can still hear the highway," shares a camper at Seaquest State Park Campground.
Consider cabin options: Many families prefer cabins for ease and comfort. "Cabins are nice, showers didn't work, park host less than friendly but beautiful park," explains a Camp Wilkerson visitor. Cabins provide shelter from unpredictable weather while maintaining the camping experience.
Site sizing varies: RVers should verify specific site dimensions before booking. "On April 18 our first time out in 2022 we camped in spot 76. It rained the whole 5 days we stayed here. Never the less the campground was very clean. Our spot was very spacious as the length was 45 feet deep on asphalt," reports a visitor to Dairy Creek East — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park.
Water pressure considerations: Some parks have utility issues RVers should plan for. "The water pressure was not very good at around 35 psi. We had a clear shot to the north sky for Starlink, but it's doubtful we'd get a southern sky shot from this site due to the mature trees," shares a reviewer at Dairy Creek East.
Connectivity challenges: Cell service varies significantly between parks. "No wifi and we had no phone reception. There are emergency phones installed throughout the park," notes a visitor to Oxbow Regional Park. RVers working remotely should check connectivity before arrival.
