About
Burr Oak Equestrian Camp is a rustic 10-site primitive camping area within Burr Oak State Park, situated in the remote Appalachian foothills of southeast Ohio. The campground caters exclusively to visitors traveling with horses, with each site offering generous space for both camping and horse trailers. Sites are positioned along TR-107 near the park check-in station, surrounded by wooded hills and valley farmland characteristic of this quiet corner of Morgan County. Amenities are basic but functional: each site includes a picnic table and fire grill, with pit toilets serving the campground. Potable water is not available at the equestrian camp itself and must be obtained from nearby day-use area restrooms. Generators are permitted for those requiring power. The campground provides direct access to the park's extensive bridle trail system. The 7-mile yellow-blazed Backpack and Bridle Trail connects the Horseman's Camp to Wildcat Hollow Trailhead along the western edge of the lake. The 7.5-mile Red Bridle Trail runs parallel through wooded uplands, while the 3.9-mile Blue Bridle Trail explores terrain between County Road 63 and the main campground. Wildlife including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and various waterfowl are commonly spotted along these routes.
Directions
From OH-78, head south on County Road 107. The equestrian camp is located along TR-107 near the park check-in station on the east side of Burr Oak Lake.
