Skillman Campground

if you’re looking for a place with great single track for hiking biking motorcycles horseback riding this is the place for it. You can loop around easily to 20 miles without repeating the trail. Beautiful shade, beautiful trees lots of butterflies birds. Even a bear was nice to see.

Pretty decent campground for horse camping. Weird setup for disposing of horse manure, bagged in trash bags and put in dumpsters. Pit toilets, could use some cleaning for sure. Best part is the trail system here. Pioneer and hallelujah trail right out of camp. Beautiful forested trails some shaded some sunny. Came in late June and camp was mostly empty. Many non horse campers here.

We loved it here. It was right off the freeway which was super convenient, but it also meant that every once in a while a loud truck would drive by. The nights didn't have many people driving through though. There was no potable or drinking water available, but there was water troughs for horses. Bathrooms were pit toilets and at first, we expected them to be terrible and gross, but they were actually super clean and well maintained. It was a gorgeous campground, no people, very peaceful. We loved it and will keep it in mind for future trips.

Beautiful Horse Campground!! The camp sites are good size and most have corrals for the horses. The trails are beautiful, but you have to watch out for bicycles and dirt bikes, which is pretty scary running into someone on a dirt bike flying down the road in front of you. Make sure to stay on the trails marked for horses and bicycles, stay clear of the trails that allow dirt bikes!!

We had a great time horse camping at Skillman. Up in the tall trees, great trails going both directions out of camp. A little road noise, great corrals at each campsite. Would definitely recommend this camp. Check local activities schedule for area before you book. Bicycle races use same trail with horses, make sure one of these races are not scheduled while you are there.
