Best Equestrian Camping near Stanfield, AZ

134 Reviews

West Pinal County Park accommodates horse camping with spacious, primitive sites surrounded by desert landscape. The park features pull-through sites with shade ramadas, picnic tables and BBQ grills, making it suitable for equestrians with trailers. While there are no dedicated horse corrals, the park's large sites and open areas provide ample space for portable corrals or highlines. Visitors enjoy access to clean portable toilets and trash disposal, though no water hookups or electrical services are available. The park's location between Interstate 8 and Highway 84 provides convenient access for horse trailers, with minimal highway noise despite the proximity to major roads. The maximum stay limit is 14 days, after which campers must leave for seven days before returning. The $10 nightly fee makes this an affordable option for horse owners exploring the Sonoran Desert region.

Surrounding Bureau of Land Management property offers extensive riding opportunities from the campground. Trails through the Sonoran National Monument connect to miles of desert riding terrain with views of surrounding mountains. The nearby Dwarf Car Museum offers a unique attraction when not riding, located just 5 miles north of the park. Water and dump services are available at Wild West RV Park, approximately 4 miles east, for $20 self-service. Horse owners should prepare for primitive camping conditions by bringing all necessary water and supplies for their animals. The camp host remains on-site from October through Easter, providing assistance and local information to visitors. For provisions, Stanfield (10 miles east) offers basic supplies, while more extensive services can be found in Maricopa (20 minutes north) or Casa Grande (30 minutes east).

    West Pinal County Park

    Our go to when visiting family

    Pinal county park and has no amenities so be prepared to dry camp. Price is $10/ day - day use is free. All but 1 or 2 site are pull thru with shade Ramada’s and picnic tables. County does a great job at keeping the gravels roads in the park well maintained, however during the rainy season be prepared for some washouts.

    Sites are quite far apart from each other giving the feel of open space. There are some short hiking trails. Entire park is wedged between AZ 84 and I-8 but yet highway noise is very minimal. Approximately 15 min drive to Stanfield and 30 min to Maricopa or Casa Grande. I- 8 ramp is 1 mile west onAZ 84.

    West Pinal County Park

    Remote County RV park

    Close to I8 and the BLM Sonoran National Monument. This is a Pinal County park and there are about 19 sites, most are nice large pull thru sites. Well maintained dirt gravel roads. 14d limit and $10 nite for standard site with a shade cabana, table and bbq grill. Camp host on site. However there is NO potable water, no electric and no RV dump. There are dumpsters and scattered potta-potties for toilets. Cell service is excellent on all carriers. There is a huge cattle feedlot about 6 mi to east and east winds will be smelly. Also the truck traffic on I8 will be noticable at night. No services for fuel, water and food except in Stanfield 10 miles away and that is just a Circle K and a Family Dollar. Three stars due to lack of water, smelly feedlots, interstate truck noise. Note: locals told me they go to Maricopa for groceries and fuel.

    Lost Dutchman State Park Campground

    Stunning View Superstion Mts

    Our site was at the top of the loop closest to Mts but furthest from restrooms. It was a 1/3 mile hike to restrooms. Keep that in mind with kids! Our site itself (120) was perfect for one tent and our car. It kind of poked off the main loop away from other neighbors which is why we picked it, very close to the mtb trail and easy access to the trail leading to siphon draw. Very little shade. Actually close to park edge we could see peoples houses to the SE. would camp at this campground again, but for this site would do RV with own restroom. Even in late April early May need EZ up for shade or almost too hot. Fun family stuff at ghost town across the highway.

    Goldfield Ghost Town Dry Camping

    Stay right at Goldfield ghost town

    The have a few electric and water sites, then more dry sites. Also horse corals, its neat being able to walk right into town, well worth a stop, sites are hard dirt, but adequate, spaced a little more apart on the dry sites, the electric/water sites back up to the town small railroad tracks and are much closer together. This is a great alternative when the lost Dutchman is full. 20 dollars to dry camp, but being able to walk into town was pretty cool. Seen roadrunner, quail, and doves, rabbits. A few coyotes howled at the moon at night, which was pretty cool to, off in the distance. I'd stay here again for the convenience.

    West Pinal County Park

    I’m the volunteer camp host

    I’m Lisa, the volunteer camp host here from October through Easter. I’m often on-site and happy to help! Here’s what you need to know to enjoy your stay: • About the Park: This is a peaceful, primitive, and clean county-run park. We offer shaded picnic tables, six spotless port-a-jons, and a dumpster for trash (access the side doors, as the lid is locked). Please respect the 10 mph speed limit to minimize dust and maintain the park’s tranquility. Campfires are not allowed on the ground; please use your barbecue or an appropriate fire container. • Reservations: Reserve ahead during winter months as we often fill up. Large RVs should plan carefully as sites are limited. Smaller rigs, please select an appropriately sized site to help us accommodate everyone. For reservations, use the website, not the app (it doesn’t always show specific sites). Need help? Reach me on-site or call the office weekdays at (520) 866-6920. • Amenities in the Park: • A large, fenced area for off-leash dog exercise. • Shaded picnic tables and clean port-a-jons. • Nearby Amenities: • Gas Station/Showers: Less than a mile west at the I-8/84 interchange. • Dump & Fill: Wild West RV Park (4 miles east) offers self-serve for $20. • Stay Limits: Maximum 14-day stay. After that, you must leave for seven days before returning. • Nearby Services: • Stanfield (10 miles east): Dollar store, El Rancho market and restaurant (highly recommended), laundromat, post office, and Circle K. • Maricopa (20 minutes north) or Casa Grande (30 minutes east): Larger stores and provisions. • Local Highlights: • Dwarf Car Museum (5 miles north): Ernie’s handcrafted, ¾-scale classic cars are a must-see. Open daily, 9–4. • Rooster Cogburn’s Ostrich Ranch (Picacho Peak): One of my favorite spots for an inexpensive, fun day! Feed a variety of fascinating animals and enjoy the unique experience.

    Wherever your journey takes you, may you be blessed and happy. 🙏💕✨
