Large evergreen conifers and hardwoods provide plenty of shade. 13 campsites are available that accomodate a horse trailer and camper with room to hitch horses to a highline near each camp unit. Vault toilet and picnic shelter. No potable water is available at this time. Please note: This campground is reserved for visitors with stock. Nearby Brown Creek Campgroundis open for campers without stock.
From Shelton, WA, take US Highway 101 north for 6 miles. Then drive west on the Skokomish Valley Road from the George Adams State Fish Hatchery for about 7 miles to Forest Service Road 23. Turn right onto Forest Road 23 and drive 7.0 miles to Forest Road 2353. Turn right onto Forest Road 2353 and drive approximately ¾ mile to the South Fork Skokomish River Bridge. Cross the bridge and make a sharp turn to the left onto Forest Road 2353. LeBar Horse Camp is located 1/2 mile beyond this point on the right of the road.
Love the trails. Wish it had water available at the camp.
Wonderful horse camping and trail. Bring water and WSF hay. 13 High ties and campsites and about half of them are pull through.
Camp is ready to open. Volunteers cleaned it up and the washingron trails club checked the trail out to 4 mile
Nice horse camp. It was pretty easy to find using Google maps. The forest service road is mostly paved but turns to gravel for about a mile about half way. Sites all have a cable high line and hitching post, picnic table and fire ring. There is also a pit toilet and manure bin but NO water in the campground. Evidently there is water at a campground close by just before you get to LeBar. I did not camp or ride here but was just doing a recon for a trip. Read a review from previous years that said the trail (Skokomish) was blocked by downed trees about 5 miles in with no way around. Too long of a haul for me to come for a short ride. Not sure who if anyone would be there to maintain the trails.
Great camp with easy to get into spot and nice trails. Make sure your horses are in shape if you want to go on the long trail. All of the sites have fire pits, tables, high lines, hitching posts, and flat spots to put up a tent if needed. Only down side is there is no water, so you need to pack in water.
