Comment

Vern Whitaker Horse Camp is a developed equestrian campground.  The campground has 10 developed RV or tent camp spots.  Restrooms, showers, drinking water, and horse corrals are available.  The campground is open all year however, the prime season is October through April.  Summer tempratures are extreme and tend to drive most campers out of the area.  There are approximately 35 horse corrals at this location.  Shade is limited but, most camp spots have a small tree.  The nearest dump station to this campground is at the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground near Borrego Springs.  The campground is accessible by RV and can accommodate RV's up to approximately 35 feet.  Do not camp here if you don't have a horse.  It's one of the nicest equestrian campgrounds that Campbase has seen.  If you own a horse, you will love this campground.  The road into the campground is dirt and approximately one mile long.  The road was in good condition for RV's during our visit.
