Customer experiences at Horseshoe Cove Campground appear to be varied. One reviewer described it as "one of the best places you can camp in peace and comfortable," highlighting the quiet atmosphere and privacy between campsites. They noted the availability of tidy vault toilets as the flush toilets were temporarily out of service due to winter damage. This visitor also enjoyed the fishing opportunities and exploring the area, mentioning a lake swing and scenic views. They cautioned about the presence of cougars and bears, advising visitors to practice Leave No Trace principles and keep protection nearby. Deer were frequently observed in the area. Firewood was reportedly available for purchase on-site for $10 a bundle.
In contrast, another reviewer expressed significant dissatisfaction, labeling the campground as "awful." They cited a $35 per night fee for a small, dirt campsite and reported issues with the facilities, including non-functional flush toilets after the first night (with no soap or running water in the men's side initially), and the potable water going out the following night. This necessitated using a distant and allegedly unclean vault toilet with mouse droppings. The lack of water also meant no handwashing. The reviewer also described the camp host as "non-existent," noting a constant "off duty" sign. While they acknowledged the lake as "awesome to swim in and close by," these positive aspects were insufficient to outweigh the negative experiences with the campsite itself.
Based on these reviews, potential visitors should be aware of the varying conditions and services at Horseshoe Cove Campground. While some have enjoyed the peaceful environment, fishing, and natural beauty, others have experienced significant issues with the cleanliness and functionality of the facilities, as well as a perceived lack of camp host presence. The campground is located in an area known for cougars and bears, requiring appropriate safety precautions. Firewood is sold on-site.

NO REGRETS - one of the best places you can camp in peace and comfortable. Flush toilets are down due to winter damage but vault toilets are tidy and easily reached. Sites vary but you’ll almost always have a good buffer of privacy but even those that are ‘hugging’ areas are maintained and I can’t tell you how quiet it is! Lovely and great place to fish! Lot of success stories from those we say pulling to shore, it’s great to explore we found a lake swing and fun little pockets of views. CAUTION this is cougar and bear country as mentioned from our host some evidence of cougar presence was found on trails. Exercise no trace left behind etiquette!!!! Keep protection nearby, deer were hugging the area daily saw probably a dozen in the 4 day stay - enjoy nature here! Husband and I had a blast hiking and relaxing ***Firewood sold on site for $10 a bundle.
This campground is awful. I'm angry that I spent 35 a night for a tiny spot of dirt. The flush toilets had no soap and men's side had neither soap nor running water. The flush toilets went out the first night I was there. Then the potable water went out the next night. We had to use the vault toilet that was a distance away which had not been cleaned in quite some time (it was filled with mouse poop). Couldn't wash hands without water. The camp host was non-existent. I was there for 4 days and there was a sign saying they were off duty every time I passed by. Other than the lake being awesome to swim in and close by, it sucked. The lake may not be enough to bring me back again. Not worth your money.
Great campground next to Baker Lake! All the sites are an easy walk away from the beach. Most of the sites are also huge! I was solo camping and shocked at how much room I had. There is no cell service which I wish I would have known ahead of time so I could bring more than one book. The flush toilets/running water sinks are a bit far from most of the camp sites, however there are pit toilets spread out around the campsites as well that do the job just fine. There’s also a connecting trail that leads off from the campground to a beautiful loop trail. It’s relatively flat for most of it and takes you along the water. I got bored and decided to see where it went and was happy I did!
Very rustic campsite, most of the campsites are surrounded by woods, and are very secluded. There is only one bathroom with running water, but there are several bathrooms spread throughout the campsite that serve guests. There are no showers. There are several spots with taps for drinking water and non-drinking water. All the areas have tables and barbecues. However, due to the high risk of fire, it is not possible to use the wood or charcoal barbecues. The water in the area reserved for the beach is not as clean as the rest of the lake, because the bottom is not made of stone, but of sand and mud. The lake is beautiful and the color of the water is incredible. However, we were unable to catch any fish. No phone or internet service. Camping requires prior reservation made through the website.
Tremendous campground. We stayed in early September and the water was cold but not so cold you couldn’t swim. Great spot for kayaking. Amazing views of the mountains, lots of wildlife, chipmunks and blue jays galore! Sites are large and mostly level with decent privacy. We stayed in site 19 and had amazing access to the lake though privacy suffered a bit because of the trails to the lake next to the site. Definitely could hear sounds of children and parents from the beach and campground all weekend, but largely had an amazing time.
