Good for kids
I always do a recon trip before I haul my horse hundreds of miles to camp and boy am I really glad I did for Swamp Wells HC. Pretty much what I expected until the last 5 miles. After the gravel NF9741 Road off hwy 97 you turn left onto NF 1810 it turns into a very narrow dirt track and so rutted there's NO WAY you would want haul horses on it for 5 minutes let alone 5 miles even with 4WD. Ridiculous! In this current condition it is unusable for equestrians.
Very remote, you'll need some clearance to get to the horse camp, deep ruts on the way in. There's no way you're getting a trailer up there. The stalls are surprisingly in good shape, both metal and wood.
Tried to camp there for the night but the the camp its self is very very far and dont recommend if your car isnt a 4 wheel drive
Perfect area for horsing around. Many trails, and great accomodations, camp sights and well built corrals.
Love the quiet, beautiful location. Very under used.
