Green Spot Equestrian Group Camp

About

Green Spot Equestrian Group Camp provides a dedicated horse camping experience at the east end of Big Bear Valley in San Bernardino National Forest. The single large group site sits at 7,224 feet elevation in a pinyon pine and juniper forest interspersed with grassy meadows. The campground accommodates up to 25 campers with 8 vehicles and includes 5 horse corrals that can hold up to 10 horses total. The site is equipped with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water or trash collection, so campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The access road (Forest Route 2N93) is rough and rocky, making high-clearance or four-wheel drive vehicles advisable. Nearby recreational opportunities include horseback riding on local trails, hiking the Sugarloaf National Recreation Trail to 9,952 feet, and fishing, boating, and swimming at Big Bear Lake. The campground is approximately 45 minutes from San Bernardino.
