Free Camping

More details

Florence, Oregon, Siuslaw National Forest. At about the 179.5 mile marker of hwy 101, 10 miles north of Florence, is a horse shoe turn. Forest Service road #58 starts in the middle of that turn. The road is single lane with turnouts and steep at the beginning. The steep part is paved. About 3.5 miles in is a Forest Service horse camp marked Horse Creek Trailhead. The camp has about 15 sites and most are back in but several are pull through and suitable for rigs up to 22-25 feet. Each site has a small corral for horses. Camping is free and does not require registration. I've never seen more than about four sites occupied at any one time. Drive time to Florence is about 30 minutes.
