"Reviewers overwhelmingly love Horse Creek Campground, describing it as a quiet, secluded “hidden gem” in lush old‑growth rainforest. Campers highlight clean facilities, good privacy between sites, and excellent access to hiking and horse trails. It’s rustic and off‑grid (no water, no electricity), which most reviewers see as part of its charm but requires preparation."
