Horse Camp is a great campground and I would highly recommend coming back. The campground has ~10 sites, two vaulted toilets, and a potable water pump. We stayed Saturday through Tuesday, over the Fourth of July holiday. On Saturday and Sunday nights, approximately 50% of the sites were occupied. There was no camp host on site, however we saw a few National Forest Service personnel drive through, and the bathrooms / dumpsters were tended to during our stay.
The campground is steps away from the Bald Mountain trailhead; a 5 mile out-and-back moderate hike, with ~1,150' of climbing. Some of the sites have views of the nearby Grass Valley Reservoir; all of the sites are within a 5 minute walk of the reservoir. The reservoir is great for SUP'ing, fishing, and swimming.
All of the sites had fire rings and new Bear boxes. The Bear boxes are the type with a flat top (which is great for having additional work surfaces for cooking, etc.
Google Map directions to the campground are pretty accurate. We drove in from La Porte and the campground was accessible via a sedan. We will definitely come back to Horse Camp!
