Location:
Foothills Horse Camp
1215 Pine Mountain Lake Road NW
Backus MN 56435
This is a privately owned camp.

About the trails:
MN Horse Trail Pass not necessary here. Trails are technical single track (horse only) trails, as well as shared wider state forest roads. Can be rocky in some places, but we ride it barefoot. Use discretion if your horse is sensitive soled. Lots of beautiful wooded trails, and water crossings.

About camp:
Camp has electric hook ups as well as a gathering area for group meals. There are many panel pens set up around camp for horses, you can also use the high ties. Clean your own space - manure pits are located around camp. There are primitive outhouses - no bathrooms with running water, or a shower house. There is a well with water for filling water buckets for horses. Dogs must stay on leash and the camp hosts are sticklers about picking up your dog's poop. The campground is an open layout - its nice for hosting big groups.
