Best Equestrian Camping near Keystone Lake

Poor But Proud Stables operates as a limited equestrian camping area near Keystone Lake, Alabama, with three RV sites equipped with electric hookups, water connections, and sewer hookups. The facility accommodates horses while offering basic amenities including drinking water and trash service. The stable grounds permit fires and provide firewood for campers with horses. Thirty-amp electrical connections are available at each site, though the property lacks dedicated horse corrals. The grounds are accessible via drive-in access only, and advance reservations are required for all equestrian campers. The campground tends to fill quickly during peak riding seasons when trail conditions are optimal.

Located approximately 12 miles from Blue Springs State Park, the stables provide access to local riding trails through rural Alabama terrain. Trailer parking is available adjacent to the camping area, though space limitations may restrict larger rigs. Horse owners should note that the property does not offer shower facilities or restroom buildings, requiring self-contained camping setups. The surrounding trails feature moderate terrain suitable for most skill levels, with water crossings available seasonally for horses. Campers report the grounds are maintained simply but functionally, with sufficient space between sites to accommodate horses and equipment. Local regulations require that horses be kept secured at all times, either tied to trailers or using temporary containment systems brought by campers.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    A must stop on the way to the beach

    This is a gem in south Alabama with the most perfect cold water to cool that Alabama heat. The cabins are more like FEMA trailers but they have some sort of AC. Consider yourself glamping Alabama style and you will be fine

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    Family Fun Destination

    The main attraction in this state park is the spring fed pool. There is a lot of nice grassy areas plus a playground but everyone was in the water. I tried it but found it too cold even though August in Alabama is very hot. Campground seemed a little cramped but acceptable. Bugs became a real issue as the sun began to set. Come armed with repellant.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    This is a great out of the way park.

    It is clearly an older park with not much recent love. It is clean but not perfect.

    The sites have older hookups but they are functional. The campsites are not level and some of them you have to guess where to put the trailer. We stayed on April 8& 9 (Thursday and Friday) and found it mostly empty! At night, the only sounds were the nature sounds of a very active forest.

    The springs are very pretty and great for a natural spring. We did not swim but were very impressed with the cleanliness of the water. 

    I would recommend staying here if you were close by. I would not drive that far out of my way for it. Great for a night or two.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    The spring here is nice. But it is over crowded and trashed.

    The spring is beautiful and flows into a little creek... this place has the potential to be a good spot but the staff and the people who visit really need to step up and clean this place. It looks like the staff has abandoned the place. Their was food left all over the ground from the people visiting. Trash was overflowing from the cans. The bathrooms were filthy and infested with flies. The trash cans being full and the bathrooms are really the worst part. This place would be good to visit on a week day early in the morning. I don’t recommend staying on the camp ground. I wish I would have taken pictures.

    Blue Springs State Park Campground

    Blue Springs in July '

    We camped here recently as a large family group. While our camping space could barely be called that, the park was quite nice. It was clean and well maintained, the bath house was clean, and there was lots of room for the grandkids to play and ride bikes. The springs area was shady, and the springs themselves were awesome (if you can stand the verrry cold water). The customer service was great.
