Bar-O Developed Equestrian Area

If you’ve rode into town without a campsite reservation, you and your horse can try to snag one of the first-come, first-served spots at Bar-O.

But if you’ve come to “get back to nature,” there are better places to pitch your tent; the 25 campsites here are actually situated on the day-use parking lot. With fire rings, a flush toilet, and a water trough for horses, this campground will do in a pinch. ###
