About: The campground is along Pillsbury Forest Road. The 75 Horse campsites are considered “primitive,” designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. Vault toilets, garbage cans, and drinking water are available. Also available are permanent “picket lines” and manure bunkers. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis.

The day use area provides access to 27 miles of trails and a parking area for horse trailers.
