Southwestern Oregon’s Illinois Valley
here are many scenic
places to enjoy horse-
back riding in the Illinois Valley
area. Some are within an easy
drive of Cave Junction, and include
horse-camping facilities. Here are
some of the best locations.
Sam Brown Horse Camp is off U.S. Hwy.
199 at Hay’s Hill. It is 15 miles from Cave Junction
and Grants Pass. Turn on Briggs Valley Road and
follow the signs for Big Pine Campground and On-
ion Mountain.
The road is paved for approximately 15 miles
and then becomes a good gravel road. Look for the
signs for Sam Brown Campground and adjacent
Horse Camp some 4 miles farther, on your left. Ele-
vation is 2,300 feet.
