Best Equestrian Camping near New Hogan Lake

130 Reviews

New Hogan Lake in California offers limited options for equestrian campers, with no dedicated horse corrals available at the immediate lakeside campgrounds. Most surrounding facilities including Lake Amador Resort, Miner's Camp RV Park, and Monument RV Park accommodate tent and RV camping but lack specific horse amenities according to their facility listings. Campers report quiet, clean sites with full hookups at Monument RV Park, though the elevated sewer connections may require hose supports. The closest campgrounds with potential for horse camping are located within a 30-45 minute drive from New Hogan Lake.

Riders seeking trails must venture to nearby recreation areas that permit horses on designated paths. Glory Hole Recreation Area provides camping with beautiful lake views and hiking trails that connect to broader recreation opportunities, though water levels fluctuate seasonally affecting access to some areas. The Carson Creek and Gold Rush trails offer moderate terrain suitable for day rides. Many visitors recommend spring visits when the landscape turns green and temperatures remain moderate. During summer months, temperatures can reach 110°F even in shaded areas, making spring and fall the optimal seasons for camping with horses in this region of California.

    Not bad

    Nice campground. As with most of California everything is dry. The lake is very low and a half mile walk from park to get to. The sites are surrounded by dry tall grass and spaced out nicely. It can be a little noisy with the close proximity to the road. But park is clean with lots of trees.

    Sly Park Recreation Area

    Best camping trip ever !

    This is a well-kept and forest-dense camping spot. There are tons of activities to partake in: relax and do nothing, hike (entire lake is 9.5 miles with a waterfall!), kayak, fish, sun bathe, swim, play games at your camp, if you have a horse- camp with your horse in one of those sites). It just really is amazing that this gem is only (approx) 1 hour from Sacramento! I cannot wait to go again!

    Beals Point Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area

    Great family friendly camping

    I joined my brother and his 2 young kids at this great camp ground. The facilities are clean, easy access to lake beach swim area, and easy access to near by stores. This camp area is near city area but feels like you are far away from it.

    Beals Point Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area

    We loved our stay!

    As full timers- we thought we hit the jackpot for the area in order to be near the towns we wanted to explore and also have service for good wifi. We had enough AT&T service for one person to work fine on the wifi. There are also plenty of coffeeshops about 5 mins away for stronger wifi.

    You feel like you're remote and you have direct access to trails and bike path from your site, but very close to downtown Folsom which is a cute little town. Site BP60 was FHU and spacious kind of tucked in a corner. Trash and recycle right at your site and picnic table and space from neighbors. Almost perfectly level site.

    No laundry at campground- but Laundry Paradise in Roseville was a great find for us- very clean facilities and new washers. Worth the drive compared to Laundryland in Folsom. I'm only giving it a 4 because it would be a 5 if there was better service or if they offered wifi. It was decent, but could've been better. We will definitely be back.

    Woodward Reservoir

    Located just outside of oakdale. Great local camping.

    Located just outside of oakdale, very similar to that of Modesto reservoir as it is managed by the same people. Shallow and warm water great for swimming and water sports. Has paved looped campgrounds and has all necessary hook ups for rv/motorhome camping. Boat docks and tables located near the water good for bbqing and having a relaxing weekend close to home but away from crowds of people. They do have late festivals in the fall so plan accordingly

    Ghost Mountain RV Campground

    Close to our home. Just over 2 hr

    We had just bought our trailer and went there with check it our with our daughter and son-in-law as a day trip to mountains. It reminded me of Lake Pillsbury north of Clear Lake Ca where we as a family had been camping since 1981. But with just over 2hr drive not 6hr with trailer. There is a pool, and kids pool. Great showers, basketball courts, volleyball, you can bring your horse. Trails to ride a mountain bike ride or hike. There is a nice dump station. There is also a honey bucket truck that comes around to all camp sites Mon, Wed, and Fridays to dump your gray and black tanks. Breakfast Lunch and dinner are available at clubhouse in the ghost town great price. About 20 minutes down Hy50 is the Red hawk casino. We were not going to buy in to the CRA Colorado River Adventures membership. But it came with a Coast to Coast membership. So with our CRA and Coast to Coast memberships we can stay up to 14 days in one campground for free. Figuring say $50 a night that would be $700 saved for a 14 day stay.

    Bear Valley Dispersed Camping

    Group event camping

    Stayed here for 2 nights during the 2019 Pursuit Norcal Event (outdoor adventure camp for adults). Due to the nature of the event, we were very close to other campers but the site itself had a lot of tree cover, shade and probably awesome camping at any other time. There is open field adjacent that was used as the event hub. Location was near trails to rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking.

    Beals Point Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area

    Many recreational activities

    General: 69-site campground in two sections – one with electric hookups and one without. 

    Site Quality: We stayed in the non-hookup section. Site 36 was in a small spur with just four sites and direct access to the American River Bikeway. Although better suited for tents, the site worked fine for our camper van. The fire pit and picnic table were located quite a distance from the short paved camper pad, creating a sense of privacy.

    Bath/Shower house: The building closest to us had three toilet/sink combos, one toilet only (there was an outside sink) and two showers. No soap, paper towels, or air dryers in any of the toilet rooms. Showers took quarters – two to turn it on and although I did not time it, two quarters gave a decent amount of time for the shower. Good hot water and a bench but no hooks. 

    Activities: Folsom Lake with all water-related activities. In addition to biking, the paved American River Bikeway was good for walking, running, and horseback riding. The grass was very dry, and I was surprised to see there was not a fire ban, as we’ve seen in almost every other campground not located on the coast. Four stars for the abundant recreation activities.
