Horse Canyon Camping Area sits at the bottom of the trail that stretches from Huntington Canyon westward toward Scad Valley in Utah's Price Ranger District, part of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site serves as a base for nonmotorized trail travel, with camping and rest stops for those moving along the route. No fees are required to use this camping area, which makes it an accessible stop for overnight stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Electric Lake weather station run to highs around 74°F in July with lows near 41°F, and July and August see the fewest wet days of the year. Forks of Huntington campground is about half a mile away, and Big Rock Group is roughly 1.4 miles off. Climbers can head to Heathens Hideout (The New Boulders), also about 1.4 miles away, and the Pole Canyon hike lies about 1.7 miles from the site.
