Best Equestrian Camping near Redlands, CA

Equestrian camping near Redlands is limited, with most area campgrounds lacking dedicated horse corrals or specialized equine facilities. Rancho Jurupa RV Park accommodates tent, RV, and cabin campers with standard amenities including water hookups, electric services, and sewer connections, but does not offer horse-specific features. Lake Perris State Recreational Area similarly provides camping options without equestrian facilities, though the surrounding area offers some trail riding opportunities. The campgrounds maintain standard fire rings and picnic tables at most sites. Bobcat campsites at Lake Perris receive regular maintenance with restrooms cleaned daily, providing basic comfort for general camping needs.

Trail access remains the primary consideration for equestrians visiting the Redlands region. While Seven Oaks Lodge offers proximity to Santa Ana River trails, it lacks formal horse accommodations. Heart Bar Campground provides primitive camping with trail connections but without dedicated equine amenities. Most campgrounds in the area permit pets but have specific restrictions regarding horses. Riders typically need to arrange alternative stabling or day-use facilities for their animals. The San Bernardino National Forest trails accessible from several campgrounds provide scenic riding opportunities, though visitors must plan for off-site horse boarding. Trailer parking at most locations is limited to standard vehicle spaces rather than specialized equestrian parking areas.

    O'Neill Regional Park

    Great family friendly safe campground

    Giant oval loop with camp sites all along both sides. Rv sites, tent sites and equestrian (horse) sites. Paved road is good for bike riding. Behind my Camp site was a few different hiking paths. Restroom buildings have water, toilets, and showers. It says to bring quarters for the showers but they were free. Each site is typical... Picnic bench, fire pit, and metal grill. No gathering fire wood, gotta buy it at local grocery or gas station. $20 a night. Lots of families with kids. Feels really safe here. Saw the park rangers driving around and the front has a gate guard who checks you in. Also only 10 minutes away from city.

    Heart Bar Campground

    Great spot

    We normally camp in the other side of Big Bear, but decided to try a new campground this year. Overall we really liked this campground. Although some of the sites are close together most of them have good separation. There are a lot of equestrian campgrounds in the area so be prepared to see horses on the near by trails. It’s close enough for a quick trip to the lake yet you are far enough away that you still get the true camping experience.

    Dripping Springs Campground

    Very relaxing

    I was so excited to check this campground out. When my hubby and I arrived we automatically were happy. The campground was very clean, well ran, all sites were marked open or reserved with the arrival and departure date on it, bathrooms are the cleanest vault toilets we have ever seen (and we camp all over), there is a fire station located close to the campground which was good to know in case of fires. The host is very nice and helpful. If you have any questions or concerns he is happy to help! There is running water for dishes and campfires as well as horse corrals for your horse. Pull through sites for trailers. Everyone that was staying on the equestrian loop was amazing. Site 31 did have a problem with ants.

    Caspers Wilderness Park

    Lovely campground in the Orange County foothills. Great hiking and equestrian trails. Excellent equestrian camping with a private corral right next to each campsite in the equestrian area.

    Room for large rigs and good space for tents with flat pads.

    Pioneertown Corrals

    Cool experience, sites not ideal for tent camping

    This is a really fun place to stay and has a bunch of awesome amenities. Right behind the campground is the Pioneertown Main Street, featuring replica buildings from the old west. They have stores, gun fights, and a restaurant nearby. The campground itself has a communal fire pit and bbq area that all campers can use. Each site has a table and fire pit. The layout of the sites is a little cramped and there is no privacy. It is designed mostly for equestrian camping and has horse stalls you can rent along with your site. The restaurant (Pappy and Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace) is somewhat of a local icon, and has amazing food and is known for their live music.

    Coon Creek Yellow Post Sites

    Quiet, spacious

    I only saw the first 9 or so sites and stayed I think at site #9. For the most part, spacious spots, fire ring, picnic table, a lot of trees, and varied slopes. Road in is placed initially then dirt but is fine. There's other rough roads further in and access to hikes nearby. I loved how quiet it was, except for neighbors since sound carries so easily even though spots are quiet apart from each other. You'll pass an equestrian campground on the way in that you might be able to get water from.

    Mojave Narrows Regional Park

    Could be better, like it once was

    Been here many times since it is local to me.

    This place has changed a lot over the years, and not necessarily for the good, in my opinion.

    What there is:

    • Trailer camping
    • Tent camping
    • Fishing
    • A playground
    • Small water park
    • Two lakes to fish at
    • Trains, lots of them
    • Bathrooms with showers
    • Frisbee golf
    • Picnic tables and shelters

    What there is no longer:

    • Paddle boats
    • Horse riding stables
    • Horses and cows
    • Other interesting animals
    • Water in the grass fields where the animals roamed
    • Arenas

    Beware of skunks and loud trains!

    It is still a somewhat nice place to visit for a couple hours with the kids.

    We have camped in a tent. The tents sites are adjacent to the lake.

    Trailer camping isn't too bad, other than being adjacent to the busy railroad. Most sites have grass.

    Sweet Oaks Winery - Temporarily Closed

    Great camping for newbies

    Sweet Oaks winery campgrounds has 16 sites available for both tent camping and RV’s (no hook-ups). It’s pretty close to grocery stores and big box stores just in case you forgot some gear/supplies. They have a beautiful well-kept property with super-clean restrooms (no showers). They do have a water hose for you to fill up your tanks or Jerry cans. They didn’t allow campfires due to high fire danger though. You’ll have to bring your own fire pit setup if they ever allow them in the future. It was a beautiful walk around the vineyards but there are also hiking trails nearby. It’s off a road suitable for road bikes but there are also mountain bike trails nearby. They have equestrian activities also available for guests. We were able to get our tin top Eurovan to fit on one of their tent sites which offered a beautiful view of Temecula valley. The wine tasting room was closed due to the pandemic but you can order wine online and they will deliver to your site. One more thing, we counted about 8 hot air balloons as we had breakfast!

    O'Neill Regional Park

    Beautiful area and lots of hiking/biking trails

    My 3 dogs and I stay here often, as it's the lowest cost in Orange County and allows dogs. It has several restrooms, showers, equestrian areas, nature trails and picnicking for day use too.
