In spring of 2017 Jefferson Lake moved equestrian camping into the main campground across the park. This is a multi-use campground that also has a playground, volleyball court, and basketball court. The old equestrian camp is now to be used for day riding only.

So now for equestrian use, first come first serve, there are 5 electric campsites and 40 non-electric campsites. More electric sites are planned. I can send another update when they complete them.
There are 3 tie lines with room for a total of 21 horses but there are many good spots to set up your own tie line as well.
There are a couple primitive restrooms in camp as well as potable water (a faucet to fill water buckets and a fountain for people).
There are 10 trails, totaling just over 20 miles.
