| Transfer Horse Camp |
Transfer Horse Camp:
The main road is paved almost all the way to the campground. This is a cute, but small, and not completely level loop directly across from a people campground. When arriving do not turn when you see the Transfer sign, the horse camp is just a little farther up the road on the left. There are five spots, most of which cannot accommodate really large rigs, but if you are good at maneuvering, spot #3 is the biggest. There is a grid of steel corrals with feeders, one large one, and four that are smaller. The spots and the corrals have some light gravel. There are picnic tables and fire rings, although at the moment #2 does not have a picnic table and #5 has two picnic tables. There is one hitching rail, one bathroom, and a manure bin! First one I’ve seen since I’ve lived in Colorado. It’s $24 a night. I didn’t have cell service, but there might be some intermittently. The elevation is 8920. The people campground directly across the street has a well house with a spigot on the side of it, with potable water, and it wouldn’t be too far to haul from there. There is also a creek that runs under the road and it is easily accessible, if it continues to have water during the summer, which it might not. The Chicken Creek Trailhead is directly next door. There are quite a few trails to explore, I was just hiking in the area, minus my horse, so I have not ridden there….yet. This is a first come first serve camp, except for sites #1 and #3 which are reservable on Recreation.gov.
