Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
November 4 Not a state park by Rick Just
park review stars; one to five Although there is currently a proposal to make it one, Horsethief is not a state park.
July 17 First Time by MytMouse
park review stars; one to five We chose to camp here because we heard the fish were biting. Not exactly true. We did not find the public water pump, or the huge dock featured in some of the pics on this site. However, we had a great time despite those little things
March 6 great camping and fishing by denise from utah
