About Tamarack
The campground is considered primitive, designed to furnish only the camper's basic needs. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. Also, vault toilets, garbage cans, and drinking water are available.

All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis for a fee.

​

Highlights: Tamarack Horse Campground offers pull-through campsites, picket lines at each campsite, and manure bunkers. There is also a day-use rider parking lot.

Approximately 25 miles of horse trails exist within St. Croix State Forest. The Matthew Lourey State Trail, a multi-use trail open to horseback riding, also passes through the forest toward Duluth

A comment from other visitors:

"What To Expect-Trails can be challenging depending on equine & rider experience. Trails cross the Tamarack River so depending on water flow & level crossings can be easy or difficult. Trails are rocky in some areas and traverse small bridges, hills & wet terrain. For longer rides a section of trail connects with the Gandy Dancer ATV Trail giving access to an ATV bridge crossing the St. Croix River & leads into the town of Danbury, Wisconsin where there is a horse picket line."

Rules for the weekend:
1. No Men!
2. No Minors!
3. 1 Dog per Rig!

We will have a group potluck Saturday night.  All other meals you will provide for yourself, although we normally pack too much and love to feed people.  We suggest plenty of snacks and drinks for the trail.  We will be drinking but there will be NO tolerance for drunken antics on horseback!  We love to have fun but please ride safe.  We will be doing more than a walk/trot, so if that is to risky for you please find another ride, we will understand.  We have heard these trails are more challenging, so be prepared for thick, steep, rugged trails!  Hopefully the bugs will not be terrible by this date but there is no guarantee.
Hope to see you all there!
