Stone Creek Group Horse Camp is a group campground near Timothy Lake built for people camping with horses, and each campsite has its own corrals. It first welcomed campers in 2025 and sits at about 3,200 feet in the Clackamas River Ranger District, off Forest Road 57 on its south side, between the Gone Creek and Stone Creek campgrounds.
The camp has two group loops, vault toilets, drinking water and picnic tables, and Portland General Electric operates it with the Forest Service. Visitors without horses might be better served by Pine Point Campground or its group camp, or by the double sites at Stone Creek Campground.
