Cowboy Camp

    Hitching posts to tie up horses line both sides of the campground loop with a grassy oval in the middle for camping. The campground is popular for horse camping because there’s a large area of BLM land adjacent to it. It can get messy so the lightly used grassy area to the north of the loop is a good choice for tent or RV camping if you don’t have a horse. People also camp in the parking lots at the top of the hill which is where we spent the night. Update 2023 - the parking lots now have "No Camping" signs so head to the meadow to camp.
     There are a few tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.

     The ground in the parking lots is hard packed so rolling is easy. The view points, interpretive signs, and vault toilets are accessible. Campground  38.99779, -122.35493

  1. Hello - You are in my neck of the country (Northern California at least). Any chance you will be in Sonoma County? I am in Occidental and I'd like to meet you. Been following you for a few years now.

    1. Hi Kimberly, I'm always a little behind on posts and we've moved north. We're just outside of Corning which is a bit of a drive from Occidental. I'm really sorry we missed you. There's going to be a gathering in Tillamook Oregon July 20 to 28th, 2019 if you're able to get away for a few days. It's organized by a member of Cheap RV Living and everyone is welcome.

      Thanks for reading my blog!

    1. I think you could hike along the horse trails as long as you watch where you step! :-D
