From what I can tell, there are 8 RV-accessible sites & 8 tent sites, and they don’t take reservations, so we should work out a backup camping plan. But if we DO get in, there are petroglyphs there that are worth a look!
Backup Camping: the camping area at Avery boat ramp, which is a little further east. It's free, and Brian thinks it usually has low use. The rest room is primitive, and the camp sites are not developed, but it is a nice setting on the water. You can park right beside the water. Brian's camped there in his pickup truck with the back opening up to the shore. So, if Horsethief is full, just drive east about 3-4 miles approx. and you will see a sign for Avery boat ramp. Drive down to the ramp, crossing the RR track, and you will see places to camp right beside the water.
