Riding guide
Highlights
A smaller, early-season Sisters horse camp that gives riders a fast track into one of central Oregon’s most respected trail systems.
Riding
The camp’s value is strategic. It puts riders into central Oregon terrain that is scenic, fitness-friendly, and broad enough to reward a dedicated trip, especially when other higher-elevation access points are still emerging from winter.
Trailer parking
Use the horse camp itself for trailer staging; this is a compact equestrian campground where site layout is part of the travel convenience.
Horse regulations
Use the designated horse camp and trail access responsibly, follow Deschutes National Forest stock regulations, and come prepared for limited facilities and no potable water.
Getting here
Cow Camp is appealing because it keeps the transition from hauling to riding short. The campground is small, straightforward, and built around the assumption that visitors are here for trail access first.
Planning your visit
Because it serves as an early-season option, conditions can change quickly. Check snow, road, and fire information before leaving, and plan your route with the larger Metolius-Windigo system in mind rather than improvising once onsite.
Where to stay
This is not a resort-style base, but it is a very smart one. Riders who prize trail position over campground polish tend to appreciate Cow Camp the most, especially for shoulder-season and early-summer planning.
