Best Equestrian Camping near Peoria, AZ
Crown King Area at Horsethief Basin accommodates horses on their primitive camping sites with access to both tent and RV spots. Campground facilities include picnic tables, trash disposal, and designated areas for fires, though no dedicated horse corrals are available. The area is designed for self-sufficient camping as it lacks hookups, showers, or flush toilets. Visitors camping with horses must bring their own portable corrals or high-lines for securing animals overnight. While the campground itself has limited equestrian amenities, the surrounding area offers extensive trail riding opportunities. The campsites are spaced out nicely providing adequate room for horse trailers.
White Tank Mountain Regional Park provides another option for horse camping near Peoria, though riders must bring their own containment systems as no permanent corrals exist. The park features several well-maintained trails suitable for horseback riding with beautiful views of the Sonoran Desert and mountains. Trailheads are accessible from the campground, allowing riders to set out directly without trailering. Water is available at the campground for horses, but riders should carry sufficient water during trail rides. The family campground section includes electric hookups, water, clean restrooms with showers, and level sites with enough room for horse trailers. Trails offer riders various difficulty levels from beginner-friendly routes to more challenging terrain with significant elevation changes.
