About
Horseshoe Meadow Equestrian Camp is a specialized horse camping facility at 10,000 feet elevation, featuring 10 drive-in campsites each equipped with a single corral and hitch rail. The campground serves as a gateway to the Golden Trout Wilderness, John Muir Wilderness, and Sequoia National Park via the Cottonwood Pass, Cottonwood Lakes, and Trail Pass trails. The high-elevation setting is characterized by rolling terrain, sub-alpine meadows, and lodgepole pine forest. Each site includes a picnic table, fire grate, and bear-proof food storage locker. Potable water is available from a hand pump, and vault toilets serve the campground. Campers are limited to 4 head of stock per site, and wood gathering is prohibited. The area experiences high bear activity, making proper food storage in the provided lockers mandatory. The remote location offers no cell service, and the 24-mile mountain road from Lone Pine climbs over 6,000 feet in elevation.
Directions

Follow for 3 miles, then turn south onto Horseshoe Meadows Road. The Equestrian Camp, Pack Station, and Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead are to the right.
