Northrup Creek Horse Camp Introduce

Welcome to Northrup Creek Horse Camp, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Clatskanie, Oregon. This campground offers a tranquil escape for outdoor enthusiasts, whether you're traveling with horses or simply seeking a peaceful retreat. With spacious sites, clean facilities, and a picturesque creek nearby, Northrup Creek Horse Camp is the perfect destination for tent campers, car campers, van or truck campers, and those with short trailers.

While the campground is primarily designed for horse camping, it also accommodates non-horse campers with three generous spots conveniently located near a vaulted toilet. The campground features clean and well-stocked vaulted toilets in both the horse area and the day-use area. Please note that water availability may vary, as the pump was temporarily out of service during a recent visit.

Nature lovers will appreciate the short hiking-only trail next to the creek, offering a serene experience surrounded by lush greenery. For those seeking more adventure, the forest road leading into the hills provides stunning views, especially near the top. During elk season, we recommend wearing bright clothing for safety. With its secluded location and quiet ambiance, Northrup Creek Horse Camp is an ideal spot for relaxation and reconnecting with nature.

Here’s what our customers have to say about their experience:

Three spots for the horseless, and each of these spaces are generous and not far from a vaulted toilet. Great spots for tent campers, car campers, van or truck campers and people with short trailers. Reservations required. We were there in October 2024 and there was just one other site taken, a father and adult son in a long trailer, there to elk hunt. There's two vaulted toilets in the horse area and one in the day use area, both clean and well stocked when we were there. No water, unfortunately (when we were there, the pump was broken). There's a lovely short hiking only trail next to the creek. Otherwise, hiking is limited, since most of the trails seem to be for horses only. If trees aren't being harvested, the forest road up into the hills is nice and has nice views near the top. With the campsite almost empty, it was gloriously quiet. During elk season, wear a very bright hat or vest. Only reason I'm not giving it four stars is because of the lack of a lot of hiking trails.
