Willow Creek Horse Camp

We still ent one night.. Our RV is 19 ft camper and it was convenient and easy to get in our spot Super quiet. No issues. We did not have any issues with it being a horse camp. Affordable and available was great.

Willow Creek Horse camp has had major upgrades since our last visit. Only thing missing now is running water. 100+ spins of the pump gets you one bucket of water. Nice Corrals.

Willow Creek is great for those seeking a quieter atmosphere but yet close to town and many trail heads. The large pens were sturdy but some had issues draining water and were muddy during our rainy stay. (To be expected). Loved that we could dump, get tanks filled, take showers, etc for $10/day pass at the KOA across the highway. Bring a large sled (like for ice fishing) for manure and use your truck to drag it to the dumpster because quite far from some sites. There are large spring fed troughs to get horse water. We pumped into our large water tank but refilling kitty litter jugs would be just as easy. At the time of writing this, the site numbers on the website do not match the numbers at camp. There was site 1-3 on the left, sites 4-5 in the middle loop, and sites 6-9 on the right loop before this year. They added site 0 to the left side with a corral. Added corrals to site 1 and 2. Here’s where it gets odd — site 3 is still in that same left side but no corral. On the website, though, starting with site 3, everything was renumbered online. The camp host put our registration cards on the wrong sites. Just keep that in mind if you are booking this year. We enjoyed riding the trails at camp and we also hauled out. Trail 9N is getting quite washed out. Lost Cabin is really fun, lots of blow down that’s been cleared (thank you!). #8 is a lovely easy 3 mile trail. We did the full counter clockwise loop to Black elk Peak but it was a tough trip down on the 9N. I think this is a lovely camp and will definitely recommend it!

Really enjoyed the new corrals and its nice they are close to the manure bunk and toilets!

We had a fantastic time here! The trails nearby are great for beginner or advanced hikers. It’s a beautiful place & the horses were fun to see. The vaulted toilet was very clean which was very appreciated!

Beautiful area for a horse camp. Very quiet. No other campers. But please cut the grass! You cut the day parking but not the camp?
