This is the second time we have camped here with our horses. The equestrian sites are very nice and in my opinion, much nicer than Joe Graham, which is the all equestrian campground nearby. The camp host met us at our site and went over the rules in place, (i.e. no campfires, bag manure, etc.) She was friendly and welcoming. The only reason I didn't give the campground 5 stars was because the restroom by our site was completely full and needed to be emptied. The restroom, however, was clean. During the time that we were there I saw the host cleaning the restroom daily. No real complaints, but for the cost the toliets should be emptied more frequently. They smelled despite being regularly cleaned.

Nice campground with access to very nice riding trails. The trails have excellent footing, mostly dirt and pine needles and very few rocks. The trails are mostly flat, with very little elevation gain. Most of the trail rides are between 10 and 17 miles round trip; however, the trails intercept with the PCT so a person can ride as far or as little as wanted. You can catch all trails from the campground, so there is no need to trailer your horses. We were camping with our horses so we stayed in one of the horse sites in the first loop of the campground. Amazingly, we were the only horse campers in the campground during our six day stay. The sites were reserved but they remained empty. It may have been due to the heat (over a 100 for several days). There were some non-horse people camping in the horse site's, which are supposed to be only reservable for people with stock. There wasn't a camp host on site the entire time we were there, so there was no one to enforce this rule. This campground has potable water, which is nice as many horse campgrounds do not. Overall, a nice campground that we will definately camp in again. I liked Clackamas Lake much better than Joe Graham Horse Camp, which is right next door. Bigger sites with more privacy at Clackamas Lake. However, you are camping with non-horse people that sometimes do not know general horse etiquette (like not letting your dogs off leash, or kids riding their bikes up fast behind your horse). If your horses are used to this kind of stuff, then its not a big deal.
