Leonard B ★ 5 · Sep 2024The campground was clean and the outhouses were checked daily. The camp site had a nice level table, a fire ring and a large bear safe container. There was ample shade and the nearby stream (wide and slow moving by the campground) made for a pleasant setting. The dumpsters, which are for manure only (despite this people still had dumped trash in them) were convenient and easy to use. The water flow was slow, but one of the spigots remained on without holding it so buckets could easily be filled while doing other things. It was late August and so we took Wright's Lake Road in and out, which was no problem with our 3 horse, goose-neck bumper pull trailer and full sized pickup truck. There were no mosquitos or yellow jackets and relatively few flies. The trails for horseback riding are limited, and the footing on most of them is quite poor. Lots of rock, boulders, cobbles with large and often narrows steps up and down.
Brenda R ★ 5 · Sep 2023Very clean and well kept. No non-equestrian campers were there as that has happened at other campgrounds. We enjoyed both of our visits.
Brenda R ★ 5 · Aug 2023The weather was a little extreme with hail and rain, but that is to be expected in the high country in the summer. Much better than 102 degrees at home! Very quiet camp with no non-equestrian campers which is a rare find these days! Trails were indicated near camp but no trail signs after leaving the vicinity. Bring a paper map or download a map on your phone before leaving home. Water, garbage disposal and toilets are available and very close. Great experience and beautiful! Bugs like it also!!!

Wrights Lake Equestrian Campground sits at just under 7,000 feet in the Eldorado National Forest, where open grassy pockets thread through a mixed conifer stand of lodgepole and fir. Sites are set along the stream that flows from the Wrights Lake spillway, and the campground shares the quiet, shallow lake about 40 acres for anglers, swimmers and paddlers; motorboats are not allowed, which keeps the water calm and wildlife encounters more likely. Horse and packstock users will find direct access to a network of equestrian trails that lead into the backcountry and toward Desolation Wilderness (n…
