Horseshoe Equestrian Group Camp Picayune State Forest

About

Horseshoe Equestrian Group Camp sits approximately 2 miles east of Naples within Picayune Strand State Forest. Designed specifically for equestrians, the facility provides access to the 22-mile Belle Meade Horse Trail, which is part of the Florida Forest Service Trailtrotter Program. The group site accommodates up to 10 people and includes 2 horse stalls, fire rings, and picnic tables. An additional 17 horse stalls and a day-use pavilion are available for separate rental. This is a primitive camping experience with no potable water or electricity. Non-potable water is available at the horse stalls only, so campers must bring their own drinking water. Portable restrooms (porta-johns) are provided. The site can accommodate large horse trailers. All horses on the forest must have current negative Coggins test results, with proof carried by riders at all times. Beyond horseback riding, the area offers 10 miles of biking and hiking trails, plus opportunities for bird watching, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. Pets are allowed at campsites.
