I did not secure a spot at Horseshoe as I was trying to make it to dispersed campgrounds that were closed, but just down the road from the campground are tons of pull out spots for true dispersed camping. Beautiful views right next to water sources if you need to filter. My pup and I car camped the night before summiting Sherman and we had a blast. Just 15 or so minutes from the Sherman trailhead

Turtle Rock is the perfect spot for those looking for an experience in-between full facilities camping and dispersed. There are pull-in spots with fire pits and tables, there is a bathroom a ways down toward the beginning of the road, but everything else is primitive. The campground host, Don, introduced himself and was incredibly accommodating and hopped in to help me pitch my tent when it had started raining and offered up spots to get water, dump trash, etc. I could not have imagined a better experience at this “dispersed” site. Just 10 minutes from town and has everything you could need.
