Best Equestrian Camping near Fulton, CA
Cowboy Camp provides equestrian camping facilities within the Cache Creek Wildlife Area, approximately 50 miles north of Fulton. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping with amenities tailored to horseback riders, including toilets and trash service. While no dedicated horse corrals are listed in the facilities, the area features open space for portable corrals or highlines. The fine dusty dirt common to some sites requires regular hoof cleaning and care. Unlike many horse camps, Cowboy Camp does not require reservations, operating on a first-come, first-served basis for overnight stays.
Located along significant riding trails, Cowboy Camp serves as an access point to the expansive Cache Creek trail system. Riders can explore miles of wilderness trails through oak woodlands and chaparral-covered hills with views of Cache Creek. The terrain presents varying difficulty levels suitable for different riding abilities. Water sources for horses are limited, so campers should bring their own water supply for both human and equine needs. The campground's 2.6-star rating reflects its primitive nature, appealing primarily to experienced trail riders seeking wilderness access rather than luxury amenities. During peak seasons, especially weekends, early arrival is recommended to secure space for horse trailers and camping equipment.
