About

Crazy Creek Horse Camp sits adjacent to Warm Springs Creek, a tributary of the East Fork of the Bitterroot River, at 4,500 feet elevation in the Bitterroot National Forest. The campground offers 6 horse camping sites specifically designed for equestrian campers, each equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, feed bins, and hitching rails. A stock water trough and vault toilet are available on-site. The campground can accommodate trailers up to 26 feet and provides direct access to Warm Springs Creek Trail 103 for horseback riding. No potable water is available at the horse camp, though campers can obtain water at the nearby Crazy Creek Campground during its operational season from May through September. There is no garbage service, so all trash must be packed out. Food storage orders are in effect. Operating on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees, the campground is open year-round until closed by snow, with peak season running from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Camping is limited to 16 consecutive days, quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and all pets must be leashed.
