About
Blackpine Creek Horsecamp is a remote horse camping facility nestled along Blackpine Creek in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The campground provides 10 single sites on a first-come, first-served basis, catering specifically to equestrian campers looking to explore the surrounding trail system. The camp serves as a staging area for several trails including Icicle Creek Trail #1551, Jack Creek Trail, and Blackjack Ridge Trail #1565. Facilities are primitive with vault toilets available but no potable water on site. Campers should bring adequate water supplies and be prepared for a backcountry experience. Access is via Icicle Road from Leavenworth, traveling approximately 18 miles. The road transitions from paved to gravel at mile 13 (Forest Road 7600), crosses Icicle Creek at mile 15, with the campground appearing on the left at mile 18. The typical operating season runs from June through October, weather permitting.
Directions
