Facilities The campground has seven campsites: the first two are for non-riders, four sites are single equestrian sites, and the last site is a double equestrian site.

Each single site has a 4-horse tie-down shelter with a gravel base, rubber mat, and log rails to separate the horses. The double site has 2 of these tie-down shelters. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring.

There is a vault toilet for people and a manure bin to dispose of horse waste, an artesian well, and a designated location along the stream to water horses. A bulletin board provides information and regulations, and a hitching rail allows for quick pit stops. Natural Features The location is an opening along Wolf Run, a native trout stream, surrounded by native forest including 300+ year old white pine trees.

Nearby Attractions Enjoy the thrill of forest riding. Horse riding is permitted in many areas of the Allegheny National Forest, but in the Spring Creek area, riders must stay on designated trails. During wet conditions, riders can ride Forest roads, but no cross-country riding is allowed.
