Cuneo Creek Horse Camp

Cuneo Creek Horse Camp is reserved for park visitors who bring their horses to ride in the park. The park does not have riding stables or offer guided trail rides. Located on an old homestead on Mattole Road, eight miles west of the Avenue of the Giants, the campground has five family camp sites and two group camps. The campground offers picnic tables, fire rings, bear lockers, treated water, flush toilets, coin-operated showers, and a mounting platform. There are 12'x12' metal pipe corrals, water troughs, tie rails, and a sand rolling pit for the horses. Wheel barrows are provided, but visitors should bring their own pitch forks, hoses, buckets, and other equipment.

Each family site can accommodate up to eight people and two horses. Depending on the site, limited additional space may be available for temporary corrals provided by the visitor. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, bear locker, and two corrals for horses.
