Dripping Springs Campground

Kaitlind Frazier

Campsite itself was great and very well kept. We were at site #8 and it had the perfect amount of shade and sun. Lots of trails to hike which is convenient. My only gripes are the neighboring dogs barking all night waking me practically every hour of the night and the early bird day hikers making lots of noise as they walk through the campsite.

**Came here for the equestrian campground section-- this review is for that specifically--** The campground is small and has only about 34 spots, about 10 of them (the upper section) for people camping with their horses. BE AWARE it's deceiving because only 4 of those spots have a corral! The campground host is super nice and doesn't mind if you move around- but- some of the non-equestrian campers may come use the designated equestrian spots too. We booked spots 34 and 33 but only 33 had a corral (single) so one of our horses had to be a couple spots away, in a single corral in spot 31. Don't recommend dripping springs for equestrian groups, untill they can establish the standard 2 pipe corrals per campsite. Sites have a spigot but the bathroom situation is just a pit toilet, no sinks or showers. Little shade for the pipe corrals. We brought our own hose and sortof cleaned ourselves that way, but we also had the place to ourselves so no worries about privacy. Dogs or cats are allowed. Trails== we took a small unnamed trail behind the equestrian campsite for sunset views (in my sunset pic) Dripping Springs trail is accessed via the metal gate at the end of the campsite. Cross the (dry as a bone, I wish it had water but this is June) creekbed and continue on the trail until the wooden signpost tells you where to go. Wild Horse trail splits off from the signpost at beginning of Dripping Springs trail. These are both fairly narrow trails, pretty, some vegetation and trees and oaks which gives way to scrub as the elevation climbs up the hillsides. If you have good trail horses they won't have a problem. A few rock steps but not treacherous or anything. The trails aren't epic, though, and there isn't any creeks or water out there in the hills. It can get very very hot also. There were some biting horseflies in the heat of the day. Once you've done the trails, it isn't really worth going back and doing again so prob only good for a short day trip.

Arrived at 2:00, not busy at all. Went primarily for the trailhead at the end of the campsites, the hike is 20k total but I did about 5k before deciding to make the full trek in the future. Gorgeous campsites and hike with little to no trash anywhere. Camp hosts take very good care of the areas. Will be back soon!

The stream was running and the hiking was beautiful. The campground was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely take my son back again.
