Cyrus Horse Camp

About

Cyrus Horse Camp is a high desert horse camp constructed in 1992 with volunteer help amidst the remnants of an old homestead and orchard just a short distance from Haystack Reservoir. Located in Oregon's Crooked River National Grassland, the facility accommodates horse camping, standard camping, and RV camping. The campground features 5 standard campsites, each equipped with a wooden picnic table and combination fire ring/grill. Horse facilities include 8 corrals, 2 hitching racks, a water trough, and a manure pit. A single vault toilet serves the entire campground. The Cyrus Trailhead within the camp provides direct access to both the Cole Loop Trail and Warner Loop Trail for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking. This is a primitive, free campground with no potable water available. Stock water is dependent on cattle permittee operations and may be seasonally unavailable. Campers should bring adequate water supplies for themselves and their animals.
