Lyons, Ore. — The Santiam Horse Camp campground in the Santiam State Forest will be transitioning to an online reservation system through Reserve America, the same reservation system used by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as well as ODF’s Northrup Creek Horse Camp in the Clatsop State Forest.

All 10 horse sites and two tent sites can be reserved online up to 24 hours in advance. If a site is not reserved, it will be available on a nightly basis for first come, first serve campers.

Moving forward, those wishing to make reservations will be able to do so up to nine months in advance. Also, the new reservation system provides certainty to horse campers that they have a reserved campsite prior to trailering a horse to the campgrounds. A small online reservation fee will apply.

The public can reserve campsites online now for May 21 through Sept. 30, 2020. To reserve your spot, visit https://www.reserveamerica.com/explore/santiam-horse-camp/OR/411802/overview.

For more information, please contact the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Santiam office at 503-859-2151.
