AMAZING campgrounds... Only reason I went with the 4 star is cause they got a yellow jacket problem. Like ... Wake up and can't fall back asleep because the entire forrest is buzzing. Real talk
Camp 10 is worth the trip. A very rustic look and feel a long way from town. Good fishing from the edges of Camp 10. If you get to fishing in the morning you can easily feed yourself by lunchtime. During the summer it can get a bit HOT! Mosquitos are thick at times in the spring. Come prepared and you will have a great time.
Beautiful campground surrounded by forest and adjacent to the lake. Many sites to drop in and settle. Some plots are double sites for larger family and friends groups. Other sites are more secluded and offer a perfect getaway. Plenty of activities to do in the area, whether it be hiking in the woods, canoeing or floating in the lake, and plenty of friendly wildlife to look at.
Roads getting there from Estacada start off well but do get rough the closer you are, so make sure if you're in a sedan like I was, that you prepare, stay alert while driving, and take it slow when it gets rough and rocky.
Overall some of the best camping I've enjoyed.
Beautiful spot. Rode in on motorcycles (ADV bikes) from Breitenbush around Horseshoe Lake...rough, steep and exciting for sure. Bring mosquito repellent if it is warm.
Very, very, long, pot hole filled, gravel road for about the last 12 to 15 miles of the trip. Highly recommend a higher clearance vehicle, as different sections of the road, make it extremely difficult for the lower clearance vehicles. The last 15 miles takes about an hour or do to drive due to having to drive so slow. Road narrows in multiple spots, and makes it difficult when passing vehicles. WITH ALL THAT SAID,THIS LAKE WAS WELL WORTH THE DRIVE AND ANXIETY! We rented a canoe, went fishing[not the best but fun for the kids and we did catch 2 rainbow trouts], went hiking/walking around the lake, floating-water is pretty shallow most of the way out until you get out closer to the middle, pretty calm and relaxing area, bonus is that it forces everyone to unplug since there is no cell service! Hope this helps the next traveler! BIG TIP BRING A PAPER MAP OR DOWNLOAD OFFLINE MAPS AS YOU WILL NEED THEM! Picture below of the lake from 2 different viewpoints, and a picture of the gravel road in a nicer part of the road! Also they have a little store at the resort that sells ice, some trinkets, and other small items you may have forgotten!
