Equestrian Camping near Grover, WY

Cottonwood Group Campsite features specific areas designated for equestrian use with several non-equestrian sites available as well. Located approximately 8 miles up a narrow road from Highway 89, the campground sits a quarter-mile from Cottonwood Lake and includes separate forks for horse riders and off-road vehicle users. The campground remains open from May 25 to September 15, with roads typically impassable until early summer due to high water at the Hobble Creek crossing. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with clean vault toilets available. The trailhead provides access to multiple hiking and riding paths, with the equestrian area offering ample space for horses and trailers.

Access to bridle trails directly from the Spring Creek Trailhead creates excellent opportunities for riders exploring the Wyoming Range. The area includes dispersed camping spots with basic amenities including picnic tables, campfire rings, and meat poles primarily used by hunters. Spring Creek Falls trail crosses the Greys River at the 2-mile mark, with signage indicating a 5-mile journey to the falls. The surrounding wilderness offers spectacular wildflower viewing during summer months, particularly along the Wyoming Peak trail. Campsites are adequately spaced, providing privacy between sites while maintaining convenient access to trailheads. Most campers report peaceful experiences with minimal crowding outside of holiday weekends, though early July through hunting season sees increased activity.
