Our Take
What makes HORSE CREEK GROUP CAMPGROUND special
Set along the spirited banks of Horse Creek near McKenzie Bridge, Oregon, Horse Creek Group Campground is a lush, deeply forested retreat in the heart of the Willamette National Forest. Towering Douglas fir trees form a dense canopy overhead, filtering sunlight into dappled patterns across mossy ground while the constant murmur of rushing water provides a natural white-noise backdrop that makes restful sleep almost inevitable. This is classic Cascades camping at its finest. The creek runs fast and clear, offering wading opportunities for kids and a picturesque setting for anyone who simply wants to sit streamside with a book or a cup of coffee. The surrounding forest trails range from gentle walks to more ambitious hikes that climb toward volcanic peaks and alpine lakes. The nearby McKenzie River Trail is a world-renowned route for both hikers and mountain bikers, and hot springs in the area add another layer of post-trail relaxation. As a group campground, Horse Creek is well suited for family reunions, scout troops, and friend gatherings, but reservations are a must during the busy summer months of June through September. Spring visits bring the added drama of snowmelt-swollen creeks and blooming rhododendrons. The small community of McKenzie Bridge is just minutes away for basic supplies, while the city of Eugene lies about an hour to the west for anything else you might need.
