USFS · Horse Camp · Fee
This Horse Camp is located next to Whitefish Creek at the west end of Crescent Lake. It is adjacent to the Diamond Peak Wilderness and Oregon Cascades Recreation Area and offers horseback riding and hiking opportunities. A trailhead located inside the campground accesses Diamond Peak Wilderness and Diamond Lake Trail. Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to please consider camping elsewhere if you do not have a horse. We have many campgrounds nearby.
