About Dry Creek Horse Camp
Nestled among a forest of ponderosa pines and just across a dirt road from Dry Creek, this hidden forest get-away is perfect for horse enthusiasts of any kind. Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping elsewhere if you do not have a horse. The [Giddy-Up Go Trailhead](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recarea/?recid=80950) is also located just across the road, so access to horse friendly trails does not get much better! Check out the [Giddy-Up Go Trail map](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3794945.pdf) for orientation of the horse camp with nearby roads and trails.
