Best Equestrian Camping near Blackfoot, ID

36 Reviews

Equestrian camping options near Blackfoot, Idaho remain limited with no specialized horse facilities documented in the immediate area. Bannock County Fairgrounds in Pocatello provides one option for horse owners, though reviews indicate issues with horses not staying in designated riding areas. The facility offers RV sites with electric hookups, sewer connections and dump stations, making it suitable for those traveling with horse trailers, though water for flushing tanks may be unavailable. Campers have noted increasing crowds and problems with unsupervised ATV riders throughout the grounds.

Surrounding public lands offer alternative options for equestrians seeking trail access. Fall Creek dispersed camping area provides free camping with direct access to trails that explicitly allow horses. The site features level ground suitable for horse trailers and access to a small stream for watering animals. Riders should note that cattle frequently graze in the same area. Other regional campgrounds like Sage Hen Flats offer scenic camping along rivers with access to fishing, though these locations lack dedicated equestrian amenities. Horse owners planning overnight trips should bring portable corrals or highlines, ample water, and prepare for self-sufficient camping as most sites near Blackfoot provide minimal facilities.

    Rolling Hills Easy Roads

    Easy to get to. Good access to the streams. We parked in front of a trailhead that allows motor bikes, horses and hikers. Fire rings along the sites and level land. Peaceful night sleep.

    Busy camping

    Neither RV dumps has water to help flush tank. Generally speaking going downhill from what it was a few years ago. Horses everywhere and they do not stay in riding areas. Loose youngsters on ATVs screaming around the park everywhere. Sad to see such a great resource abused and go to waste.

    Sage Hen Flats Campground

    Relax in the trees or right next to the water

    on the way to the campground you will travel down dirt roads that are full of scenic views. when you get to the sites it is hard to choose if you want to be right next to the water where you can fish for trout or remain tucked in the woods. both are peaceful and leave society behind.

    Great time “on the green”!

    We arrived the Wednesday after Labor Day. We were given a full hookup spot in a giant field area all to ourselves! Our spot backed up to a small running creek filled with fish. The field had corn hole and horse shoe games set up. We enjoyed the hot spring fed pool. Again, we were the only ones there. The pool is huge! We also enjoyed a great burger cooked at the grill in the office. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Pipeline Campground

    Great for overnight stop

    The access to the water’s edge is nice. Our campsite has the basic amenities with fire ring and picnic table (a bit worn down). The vault toilet is clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

    Pretty Good!

    Good cell service, access to a great trail, and clean campsites. Several spots have nice access to a stream that runs through that area which was great to play in with my pup!

    Packed on the weekends but campsites are spread apart with vegetation in between which provides fairly good privacy.

    Hawkins Reservoir Campground

    All by yourself along the road.

    We stayed in the campsite overlooking the lake and accross the road. There are about 7 campsites all with metal pole building type shelters and picnic tables. Each site also provides a fire ring. One of the downsides to the campground is the proximity to the road. There was a number of loud vehicles and loud locals that kept us awake. We were staying in a tent, but if you are staying in an RV this might not be a problem. It was a good site for the price.
    The lake was down and unavailable for fishing. It might be better early spring or summer.

    Great family gathering spot

    Easy to get in and out of. Beautiful location and great host’s. The pool is old but very refreshing. You feel isolated but you’re close to town.

    Indian Springs Resort and RV

    Just perfect

    We are camping across America in a tent with our young toddler and 2 dogs. This place was great, clean, well kept, nice flush toilets with soap and working sinks. the pool was fantastic although entry to the pool is not included in your camping fee so be prepared to pay extra to get in the pool but totally worth it. Sites were close together with little privacy but flat. We had no shade at our spot but some of the other sites had more shade. Should have been more aware of that when we were looking at the map to pick our camping location.

    We did see a coyote at the edge of the campground but our Great Pyrenees told him to keep moving.

    We had so much fun here with our toddler and will definitely be staying when we come back through in the future.
