Love this campground and trail. The camp host is the best. Best sites for horses are any but 6 or 7 because there is no shade for the horse corrals. Water is closest to site 6 though. We ended up coming up Steven’s gulch which was very rocky but beautiful growth. Sad there is no water in the creek.

Camp host Greg is amazing! So friendly and helpful. In tbe equine area, there are two pens per site and also two water hydrants ( the website does not mention pens and says the water is hand pump.) Important: the signage to the equine camp area is not good. Take a left through the day parking area at the trailhead. DO NOT go straight to the regular campground. If you go too far you will not have room to turn your truck and trailer around.

Greg the camp host was very nice, he checked on us several times during the day to be sure we were okay. Down side the water faucets were out of service. The forest service did provide a water tank for us. The only suggestion I would make is it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the faucets weren't in service. It's summertime and horses drink a lot of water. We love camping at Indian Creek it is a annual event for us. Thank you again to Greg for making it a great weekend and keeping us informed about the bears and the fire that was close by during our stay.
