Horse Creek Campground

Why settle for ordinary when you can experience camping designed with equestrian enthusiasts in mind? Horse Creek Campground, set high atop Cape Mountain in the Siuslaw National Forest near Florence, Oregon, provides a tranquil retreat for horse campers, tent adventurers, and small RV enthusiasts. This remote oasis offers unparalleled access to the scenic Cape Mountain Horse Trails, combining rustic amenities with a peaceful forest setting.

Each of the 16 campsites is thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and either a horse corral or hitching post, making it ideal for equestrians. While it offers simplicity—one well-maintained vault toilet, no potable water, and no garbage service—it excels in privacy and charm amidst lush old-growth forests. Trails meander through thickets of wild blackberries, thimbleberries, and salmonberries, creating a haven for berry-pickers and wildlife watchers.

Located less than 15 miles from Florence and Highway 101, this campground offers easy access to breathtaking coastal attractions like the Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Head Lighthouse. Its secluded location and natural splendor make it perfect for campers seeking a serene escape from the bustle of modern life while connecting with nature and equestrian-friendly trails.
