Camp with your horses!
Saddle up and get out of town—with your own horses. This page is for campgrounds, horse parks, and trail camps with corrals, trailer parking, and riding nearby. You bring the horses; you camp; you ride.
What’s the difference?
-
This page (Camping): tent, RV, or horse-camp sites built for your horses.
-
Vacation Rentals: a house, cabin, lodge, or luxury resort room you rent by the night or week, with a place for your horses (and sometimes a campsite too). Dude ranches and “stay a week with your horse” resorts live there. Also places that provide horses when you don't have your own reside here
-
Trail Rides: they provide their horses. You don’t have to bring your own.
-
Horse Camps: scheduled riding camps, including kids camps & retreats.
-
Overnight Boarding: a safe layover barn when you’re just passing through.
Some places show up on both Camping and Vacation Rentals. That’s intentional: if you can rent a home and camp or corral your horses on the same property, you’ll find it on both pages.
Browse by region below and plan the trip.
Reservations, hay, and health requirements (for the State of Utah):
-
Hay on National Forest: Certified weed-free hay, pellets, cubes, straw, or mulch. Bales must be tagged or you must carry current certification. Intermountain Region order (all Utah national forests).
