Cyrus Horse Camp

Cyrus Horse Camp offers a unique camping experience set within the high desert landscape of Oregon. Originally established in 1992 with the help of dedicated volunteers, the site sits nestled among the remnants of an old homestead and orchard. Its proximity to Haystack Reservoir makes it an appealing destination for those looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest while enjoying a peaceful, rustic atmosphere.

This federal campground provides a versatile base for various outdoor enthusiasts, welcoming horse campers, tent campers, and RV travelers alike. While the site remains open year-round, visitors should note that it is a primitive facility without utility hookups. Basic amenities provided on-site include fire rings and picnic tables, along with access to local hiking trails for those wishing to explore the surrounding terrain.

Because the campground is located in a high desert environment, guests should be well-prepared for self-sufficient camping. Stock water availability is dependent on local infrastructure, so campers are advised to plan ahead and bring their own water supplies. Whether you are trail riding or seeking a quiet retreat, Cyrus Horse Camp serves as a charming, back-to-basics basecamp for your next adventure.
