Travel Directions Rates & Reservations


Horton’s Camping Resort features a variety of campsites for tents and recreational vehicles. Spacious non-hookup campsites measure approximately 30'x50' in open grassy, partially wooded or fully wooded areas. Some of these sites in our prime area are restricted to a maximum of 2 adults with no children, for those wanting a quiet getaway area. Campers should bring their own charcoal grills or propane stoves because local fire laws prohibit wood fires or ground fires. The R.V. section of Horton’s can accommodate the largest R.V.’s with ease; these partial and full hookups have mostly 30 amp service. Most R.V. sites are located in an open grassy area with some shade trees.
