About
The Equestrian Campground offers a purpose-built facility for horse campers in the heart of Utah's San Rafael Swell Recreation Area. Situated just downstream from the San Rafael Swinging Bridge Campground along the scenic San Rafael River, the campground provides six sites specifically designed to accommodate equestrians with their trailers and horses. Each campsite features a pullout large enough for a vehicle and horse trailer, an individual corral, tent pad, picnic table, fire ring, and access to vault toilets. A central holding pen with three separate stalls offers additional horse containment options. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $15 per night. Campers should come prepared as there is no potable water and no trash service. All trash must be packed out. Cell phone reception is limited depending on carrier. Nearby recreation includes hiking, horseback riding along the river corridor, and exploring the dramatic canyon country of Buckhorn Draw and the Little Grand Canyon overlook.
Directions
