USFS · Horse Camp · Free
This campground is a gorgeous developed site located on the southeast flank of Wolf Mountain just outside Black Canyon Wilderness, which makes long rides through pristine country very possible. There are 6 campsites and 9 corrals at the site, so folks planning for packing trips or visiting with friends who may not actually want to camp will still have room for their stock. Wilderness limitations require that group sizes be 12 heartbeats or less on a trail at the same time, but the campground does not have the same limitations. Come enjoy this beautiful site with easy access.
