About
Salters Cabin Horse Camp sits in a shaded second-growth ponderosa pine forest in the Paulina area of Oregon's Ochoco National Forest. This free primitive campground caters to equestrian campers, offering a large corral for horses and a peaceful setting away from summer heat. The site has vault toilets and picnic tables located outside the historic cabin, which is closed to public entry for preservation purposes. There is no potable water, hookups, or dump station, so camping must be self-contained. Campers are asked to pack out all trash and horse waste, as no manure pit is available. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-day stay limit. Access is via Forest Service Road 42 off County Road 113 (Beaver Creek Road). The remote location and lack of amenities make this ideal for experienced campers seeking solitude with their horses.
