There use of this site requires a Special Use Permit. However, no facilities are located at this site. The Forest Staff proposes to establish this area as the official horse camp.

The area is composed of an open forest where little construction will be needed. This area will consist of one campsite with ample area for parking horse trailers and setting tent. The site will consist of one campfire ring, one picnic table, one small kiosk, and one sign, a few pitching posts, and hitching lines.
