Fishing enthusiasts will find direct access to Horse Creek at this group campground within Willamette National Forest. The US Forest Service manages this reservation-only site that accommodates RVs up to 35 feet and operates from May through October at $75 per night.
The forested setting provides multiple large sites that can handle more than one tent each, plus a central gravel area for group campfires. One reviewer notes the sound of the creek makes for good sleeping, though water from the hand pump can contain rust and restroom maintenance varies. Groups can lock the gate for additional privacy. The campground works well for organized gatherings seeking pet-friendly sites near Willamette National Forest in a creek-side forest environment.
