Best Equestrian Camping near Littlefield, AZ

73 Reviews

Limited horse camping opportunities exist near Littlefield, Arizona, with the closest dedicated equestrian facility located at Pine Valley Equestrian Campground in Utah, approximately 70 miles northeast. This established campground offers drinking water, toilet facilities, trash collection, and picnic tables for campers with horses. While no specific horse corrals are listed in the amenities, the campground accommodates both tent and RV camping for equestrians. The campground operates seasonally from May 11 to September 24, requiring advance reservations for the limited number of sites.

Several dispersed camping options on BLM land near Littlefield may permit horses, though none feature dedicated equestrian facilities. Areas such as Mount Trumbull Loop Dispersed and Paiute Wilderness Area allow camping with pets and provide space for tent and RV setups. These remote locations require complete self-sufficiency as they lack water, electricity, and other amenities. The roads accessing these areas can be rough and potentially challenging for horse trailers, especially during wet conditions. Campers planning to bring horses should contact the Bureau of Land Management office beforehand to confirm current policies and obtain any necessary permits, as some locations like Mount Trumbull Loop have been identified as State Trust Land requiring permits rather than BLM property.

    Paiute Wilderness Area

    Fantastic Boondock Spots Everwhere

    An abundance of boondock spots abound. Some of the roads are rough and were a but strong for our little campervan yet it was well worth it. There are dozens of trails to explore and access to VOF state park is easy. I had been wearing Coleman boots but found them to be too hot already for this trip so have switched to Fila. Let you know how that goes. Highly recommend heading towards Beaver Dam and Littlefield Falls (Little Jamaica) near the AZ/NV/UT area. It's about 10 miles up the 15 from Mesquite. The trek in is a bit plain and dry though you see a lot of desert wildlife. The way down to the river and falls is a bit scary to look at but we did do it after we put the camera away as you will not have a grip on the unit as you need both hands to descend/ ascend. There is a path up/down also. The place is actually on private property so be cool and there is an overpass right above the site. The traffic noise is a bummer yet still worth the trip.

    There is a cool little dive bar near beaver dam you must hit. We also stayed at Oasis RV in mesquite. Weird reservation process as it is actually part of Casablanca Resort. Clean, not too much shade, great showers/laundry. 20 bucks for full hook up. This spot is good if you need a laundry day break from boondocking. Pool was nice. Not a must see but ok.

    Whitney Pockets, Nevada

    Hard to get to, but great winter camp sites

    This area is just east of Mesguite Nevada along Gold Butte Road (old mining road that goes many miles into the NE area of Lake Mead.  No water, power or cell phone connection in most areas.  Must have good tires and high clearance.. many pot holes and hard gravel roads in the area.  The area also has several great petroglyph sites.  Great for ATV or side by sides.. lots of equestrian riders in the area as well.

    Plenty of isolated locations 5 mins off interstate Hw

    If you are pulling a trailer and looking for a quick stop off the interstate you’re in luck. Furthermore if you want to take a van, truck, or car in further you can. In my typical fashion we don’t like to camp too close to others and we were able to do this in spectacular fashion. By driving past the mining operation you will find yourself on a less maintained road (having multi-ply tires is nice), from there you can take the road hours in or even for 5 minutes and find a quiet unique camping spot.

    We ended up camping about 10-15 minutes away from the freeway with an awesome view of mesquite in the distance.

    When it rains watch your step the ground will get muddy and there is a chance of having strong wind gusts.

    A guy and his dog Toquerville Falls Utah

    Toquerville Falls Utah. BLM area. Free off grid camping. Cool place to see. Lots of off road, 4 wheeler/side by side, dirt bike, Hiking to do in the area. This is NOT a 2 wheel drive adventure to see a water fall. It’s strictly 4 wheel drive only. Hike it first to end don’t ruin your vehicle for this. Steep. Slick. 2 ft rock boulderings straight drop offs and roads cut towards them. If too slick see ya. Trust. Walk it. 4wd is ok. 3.5 miles takes 45min slow Mo style. So walking speed? Almost. Walk it no 2wd.

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Nice and quiet with big city conveniences

    Great campground tucked right pass the hustle and bustle in St. George. There are 2 entrances to the park, you want to take the one to the right per your navigation, the other entrance outs you far out from the actual campground entrance. Check-in was very easy and campground hosts were very present. Sites 1-14 are a tight squeeze and on top of each other. Try to book in the outer loop. Sites 15A, 17 & 18 are great spots with nice tent pads. I was in Spot 15B and I don't recommend it. It's basically an extension of 15A and luckily we had a small 13' travel trailer and even then it was a tight squeeze. We parked in as if it were basic parking lot spot. If you had anything bigger, you would basically be nose to nose with 15A. The tent pad was the only nice thing about my spot. The location of the campground is great as you are within walking distance to multiple hikes. The bathrooms were always clean and the shower were over on the other side of the campgrounds. On the side of the showers, there are some nice secluded spots (Sites 20+). Most are first come, first serve but no hook-ups. Will definitely be back only if we could book a different spot

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Red Rocks!

    Nicely kept state park, safe, on outskirts of St. George UT. RV spaces are CLOSE together. Tent sites are better, spacious. Showers in tent area have a pull-chain. From their website: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Phone: 435-628-2255 Fax: 435-628-9321 Management: Kristen Comella, Park Manager Jesse Henderson, Assistant Manager.  Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling. Great mtn biking in St. George area (including a roller coaster ride on hard packed single track: Bear Claw Poppy and Snake Pit Loop trails. Many other trails in area). Huntsman World Senior Games held 2 to 3 weeks in Oct. in St. George. Traffic in St. George can be heavy at times particularly during typical rush hour times.

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Beautiful scenery you have to see in person.

    Just returned from 2 nights, my only negative is the assignment of walk up sites. Arrived the first day in plenty of time only to get the group overflow section, being told we could get a regular site the next day. Showed up the next morning first in line to only be told we want to accommodate the folks staying 2-3 nights not one more. Decided to stay in the what basically is a parking lot for the group site. So note make sure everyone is on the same page for site assignment. Okay the positive it actually is a beautiful camp ground and state park. All levels hiking, climbing etc. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Next time I’ll make advanced reservation since the walk up part is a mess.
