Whispering Pine Horse Camp

Is Whispering Pine Horse Camp calling your name with its quiet, rustic charm and unparalleled access to the Three Sisters Wilderness? This secluded equestrian-focused campground, located just 11 miles west of Sisters, Oregon, provides an ideal retreat for campers seeking tranquil days beneath towering ponderosa pines and birch-lined creek beds.
