Two open, partly shaded sites in the southeast corner of the park off Mule Town Road — the only campground at Whiskeytown where camping with horses is allowed, with ample horse trailer parking. There are no corrals, hitching posts, tie rails or water troughs. Potable water comes from a hand pump available most of the year. Guardian Rock Trail starts here.
