Equestrian Campground
Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. No potable water or trash services. Campers must pack out all trash and bring their own water.
Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.
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
Located along the San Rafael River at the southern end of Buckhorn Draw, approximately 15 miles from the nearest paved road. Contact the BLM Price Field Office for detailed driving directions.
