South Pyramid Horse Camp

South Pyramid Horse Camp serves as an ideal base camp for outdoor enthusiasts and equestrian adventurers looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled within the national forest, this federal campground provides direct access to the expansive Old Cascade Crest and Middle Santiam Wilderness trail systems, including the South Pyramid Creek, Chimney Peak, and Gordan Peak trails. The surrounding terrain is defined by dense forests and the winding paths of the Cascades, making it a premier destination for those seeking a wilderness experience.

Developed and maintained in partnership with the Mid-Valley Oregon Equestrian Trail Group, the site features specialized facilities including a permanent 12-horse hi-line system. While the campground offers a rustic, off-grid experience with no utility hookups, it is well-suited for both tent campers and RV travelers who are self-sufficient. The site operates on a year-round basis, providing consistent access for hikers and riders regardless of the season. Whether you are planning a weekend excursion or a longer trek into the wilderness, this camp offers a quiet, functional setting for your next adventure.
