The Horseshoe Springs is a secluded campground located 12 miles down Pine Canyon rd (11N03). This road can be rough in areas and shouldn't be attempted in a non-4x4 vehicle. Each spot has a picnic table and standard round metal fire pit. There is a restroom shack which appears to be in good condition. Beyond the two official spots, there is plenty of space for several vehicles. This site is lo... The Horseshoe Springs is a secluded campground located 12 miles down Pine Canyon rd (11N03).

This site is located next to Horseshoe Spring/creek, however it wasn't flowing during my visit.
