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.
