Cowboy Camp

Unfortunately the campsite itself was closed. Sign on the gate said it’s open in April. But we parked our van by the viewpoints and didn’t have any problems. I wouldn’t recommend tent camping. It might not be so scenic in the summer but it was very pretty mid-February. There are plenty of hole toilets to use but no trash cans. No cell ... more

I read about the ticks - we did not have a dog or get any on us. This is a horse camp and the flies have heard about it. I have an instant pop up bug shelter that paid for itself in minutes. We were able to enjoy the story book views as the sun went down. Coyotes and I am pretty sure a bull elk joined in to serenade us. This is like a ... more

Beautiful, quiet, serene… Until your dogs walk outside and get covered in ticks! I left this site a week ago and have spent every day and every night picking ticks out of my dogs. Never again.

This is an excellent, off the beaten path location. It does have a lot of bugs including bees, wasps, and flies, but nothing a screen can't keep out. It gets nice and warm during the day as well since the hills surrounding this space block most of the wind. Super quiet, nice place to boondock.

So the place is open and accessible. However the locals bring their horses there to play. Uninviting and rude old local people.

Nice small camp, there are 2 pit toilets, stayed on 4-10-21, warm in the day, nice n chilly at night, lots of little flies at night. This place is right off the road so you can get road noise, there is a small creek down the hill. You can hear cows and coyotes at night. Had a couple campers hauling horse trailers, i beleive theres a f... more

This place was gorgeous! However, it closes to overnight campers seasonally, Nov. - April. There is an upper day use lot and a lower camping lot, unless you want to drive off road the path is closed. Other than that it is very pretty. Lots of sites. It is right off the paved road and shouldn't be any trouble for anyone to make it t... more

Great place to stay overnight. People aren’t kidding about the ticks!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend! The campground was clean and mowed, the trails were in excellent shape and the river was still running for fresh water for the horses! Wish it could stay like this year round!

Maybe don't come here in the summer. It's hot and there are tons of flies. There are also TONS of ticks, which made it impossible for me to bring my dogs hiking. I mean, TONS. TONNNNNSSSSS. We walked about ten feet onto the trail and I pulled about fifteen ticks off my puppy and another eight of my older dog. Nope nope nope. Would be g... more
