Kalama Horse Camp Campground

Kalama Horse Camp has always been one of my favorite places to take my horses for a camping adventure. There are several awesome trails you can take right from the campground and there is a campground trail that guides you around the whole campground area. There are several compost toilets that are available for campers and day use. Each Campsite has a firepit and picnic table. Most all of the campsite have horse corrals.

This is a great rustic campground for horse camping and family oriented. Sites are nice sized, it’s generally peaceful under the large fir trees with just enough canopy to provide shade and for the wood corrals. Trails are in abundance and usually maintained by volunteers and USFS. There is stock water and wheelbarrows for mucking. Pit toilets are pretty good but just in case, bring TP! Each site has a nice picnic table and fire pit. Great views up on the high trails of the mountains. We enjoy it and go at least annually!

This campground wasn’t on our radar for this last weekend camping trip. We stumbled across it looking for a spot to camp. Only about 10 camp sites but in very good condition. Very private and great tree cover. We had an awesome weekend

This is primarily a spot where you go to park your horse trailer and go from there! However it’s “first come first served”. Has few amenities, pit toilets.... clean and composting. Short trailed from the campsite, very close to the Mt. St Helens trails! Very nice area, we will be back!!

Absolutely lovely campground!

This is a nice little horse camp with several sites and corals. We came for a mtn bike race but we're comfortable anyways. Each spot is large and quite private. The sites are nice and close to a creek which was nice since it was hot. Our site had a fire pit and a picnic bench. We camped in our van. Beautiful spot and pretty quiet event though it is nice and close to town!

Gifford Pinchot National Forest is a veritable wonderland, let's put that on the table right away. Lava flows, waterfalls, views of huge mountains and huge rivers, tons of berry picking, the Pacific Crest trail... it's ridiculous. So enter Kalama, with easy access, varied campsite sizes, space between a lot of them and a crazy - and I mean crazy - amount of trails. And if you like mushrooms... O M to the G. Check out the photos! We woke up in the morning and marched up Mt. Saint Helens. With or without horses (they couldn't fit in the trunk), with or without beer, it just doesn't get any better than this.
