“Was beautiful up there. Really was nice up there. Definitely going to go back.”

David F 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice campground. Not much privacy at campsite 10 but that was to be expected. Toilets, dumpster, water pump, firewood on site. ”

About

Horseshoe Campground sits along Horseshoe Creek at about 10,600 feet in the San Isabel National Forest, set beside a grassy meadow and framed by aspen, Engelmann spruce and gnarly bristlecone pines at the base of Sheep Mountain. The site layout emphasizes privacy: mature trees separate campsites in a compact, primitive loop that still provides basic comforts picnic tables, vault toilets, drinking water and metal campfire rings. The campground has 18 sites total: 12 sites are configured for both RVs (maximum length 25 feet) and tents, and 6 are tent-only. Daytime recreation centers on the Limber Grove Trail, a roughly 3-mile mountainside route that passes thousand-year-old limber pines with enormous twisted trunks, and the shallow reaches of Horseshoe Creek are popular for fishing or simply wading. For experienced mountaineers, Horseshoe is a convenient jumping-off point for high-country hikes toward Mount Sherman, Lincoln, Bross and Democrat the local cluster of "fourteeners" while nearby County Road 18 traces the Horseshoe/Fourmile Historic Auto Tour and the town of Fairplay, with its gold-rush open-air museum, is the closest services hub. Horseshoe is part of the broader Pike and San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands (PSICC), a region with a wide range of recreational opportunities; if you want to confirm which of those apply to a particular visit, call the campground at (661) 702-1420. Access from Fairplay is simple: head south on US-285 for about a mile and then follow County Road 18 roughly six miles to the campground on the left. Reservations and fee rules are handled through Recreation.gov: cancellations made at least two days before arrival incur a $10 cancellation fee; cancellations the day before or on the day of arrival result in a $10 service fee and forfeiture of the first night's fee (one-night reservations forfeit the entire amount); no-shows are assessed a $20 service fee and forfeit the first night's rate, taxes and add-ons. Refund requests must be submitted through your Recreation.gov profile within seven days after the reservation ends; card refunds are returned to the original payment method, while check or cash payments are issued by Treasury check and may take 6 8 weeks. In the event of an emergency closure, fees will be refunded and the facility or Recreation.gov will attempt to notify you.
