Horseshoe Lake | Wild Camping

January 5th, 2023 by taylorpawson1999

We came to the parking lot right by the lake and pulled in, assuming it was the spot. The highway noise was still pretty audible even with all our windows and curtains closed. I guess we were wrong about the spot being okay for a night or it’s just typical bored cops trying to make their infraction quota because at 3am we had a cop bang on our window and flashing a bright flashlight at us through the curtain crack waking us up demanding to know where we came from, where we are going and how long we are staying. A huge jump scare and felt like a total violation of privacy, he didn’t knock first he just went for a full peek. He told us to move literally 10 ft across the other side of the parking lot so the cop coming onto shift at 6am wouldn’t give us grief? How does moving all of 10ft make a difference as to whether it’s 24h or not?! We didn’t see any “no camping” or “no overnight parking” signs? Wouldn’t recommend this place at all due to the highway noise and the fact cops seem to love patrolling the area.
