Wash Creek Horse Camp

Wash Creek Horse Camp is a small group area designed for equestrian use, two miles northeast of the North Mills River Recreation Area and Bent Creek in the Pisgah Ranger District. As part of the Pisgah National Forest, a network of equestrian trails runs through the North Mills River, Trace Ridge and Wash Creek areas, easily accessible with space for several horse trailers. Routes are marked with signs and colored blazes, and some are shared with mountain bikers. Hiking, fishing and hunting are popular in the area. The campground has one site, a vault toilet and hitching posts for horses. This small group facility can accommodate 30 people and 10 vehicles. Wash Creek offers a remote hardwood forest setting with a small, shallow stream nearby. The site is 20 minutes from the North Mills River Recreation Area and 45 minutes from Lake Powhatan Recreation Area, and about an hour from attractions in both Brevard and Asheville.
