Willow Prairie Horse Camp

Nestled in tall timber just southwest of Mt. McLoughlin is a beautiful meadow called Willow Prairie. Adjacent to the camp is a wetlands with a beaver swamp, and several large ponds where wildlife abounds. Keep your eyes open for sandhill cranes, Canadian geese, ducks, elk, and deer. The campground has ten campsites with four corrals at each site. Each site also has a picnic table and fire pit. Two vault toilets are available and situated for easy access from all sites. There is also potable water from a hand-pumped well, and two troughs for your horses. Day-use parking is available across from the horse camp. Campground Host is onsite between Memorial Day and Labor Day to answer any questions about the campground, the nineteen miles of maintained horse trails, or about the surrounding area in general. As volunteers, our hosts provide a great service for our visitors. If they make contact and ask you to comply with a specific regulation, they are only doing what the Forest Service has asked them to do. Please respect this, and if you have a disagreement, contact the Butte Falls Ranger District.
