About

Located in Olympic National Forest near Forks, Washington, Littleton Horse Camp provides equestrian enthusiasts with access to extensive trail systems including Mt. Muller, Snider Ridge, and Olympic Discovery trails. The campground is divided into sections: one area features several pole corrals with walk-in tent sites scattered around them, while another offers large back-in and pull-through sites with hitching rails designed for horse trailers. Most campsites are shaded and equipped with fire rings, though grills are not provided. The campground operates on a unique system where vehicle parking spur sites are reserved exclusively for stock use until 6:00 p.m., while walk-in sites are first-come, first-served for all users. This arrangement ensures equestrian campers have priority access while accommodating other visitors. From spring through fall, the Backcountry Horsemen provide a non-potable water system specifically for stock use. No potable water is available on-site, so visitors must bring their own drinking water. The campground is the result of collaboration between Backcountry Horsemen volunteers and Clallam County, making it a valuable resource for horse camping on the Olympic Peninsula.

From Forks, travel US Highway 101 northeast for 24 miles to Forest Service Road 3071 near milepost 216. Turn left (north) and follow the road 1 mile where it ends at Littleton Horse Camp, about 0.25 miles beyond Mt. Muller Trailhead.
